JOAN COLLINS

Joan Collins was born on 23 May 1933 in Paddington, London, and grew up in Mandeville. She made her stage debut at the age of nine, entered British cinema in 1951, signed with 20th Century Fox, and moved to Hollywood in 1955. If you’ve seen the new Dynasty soap opera reboot on Netflix, you might be surprised to know that Dame Joan Henrietta Collins was one of the show’s leading ladies during its original run back in the late 1980s.

The English actress may be over eight decades old, but she managed to maintain her looks over the years by reportedly keeping her skin away from any direct contact with the sun’s glare. Her current financial situation has kept her far from any risk of bankruptcy, and she has expressed a preference to pay for whatever she wants with her credit cards.
