I met Dame Joan at an autograph even in Los Angeles in 2016. I told her I was considering suicide in 1997 but Dynasty was in reruns and I wanted to stay alive to see her. She swatted my hand with her gloved one and said, "Stop you're going to make me cry!" Then we had our picture made. That picture has a place of honor in my home and always will.
Awwwww ❤️ what a beautiful story.😭 I'm a huuuuuuge Dynasty fan,too. I'm bought all 9 Season for myself for Xmas gift this year,now my husband is hooked,too. ☺️ I hope U R doing ok now, Aswad. 💙🌹🤲🙏 Enta Arabi, btw? -big support to u from Oslo Norway 🇳🇴
Dynasty literally changed my life. I was born and raised in a town where there was no class, culture or desire to be anything more than what they were. I remember seeing the opening credits to the show for the first time. Mansions, limos, diamonds etc. I said to myself "do people really live like that? Are houses really that big?" The show taught me that there was more to life and encouraged me to go after it. I left home and everyone I knew. I never did get the carrington house but I did get a home, a wife, a career and a positive mentality from watching the show that I know staying in my hometown would never have provided. It sounds cliche but the show literally changed my life for the better.
Bravo,, yes it's Your life. Sometimes it's the best thing to do when you can see the light😀 I'm sure you had to take a lot of flack from the family....
You were inspired by the show. But you were brave and persistent to leave your hometown and change your life for better. And now you can reap what you've sown. Bravo, my friend.
All the awards below say (if I am correct for its name the Order of St George) are all plated gold, but the highest one being solid Yeah is rather like I thought a GBE more formally Knight/Dame Grand Cross (GBE), hers will be a DBE a great thing as well to get Technically speaking (or maybe factually) a GBE's the 2nd highest, as above thats the Order of the Garter and the oldest one going back to who was Edward I's grandson, Edward III which is given by the Monarch themself, all ones below that are given on advice of the Gov't and the Monarch gives them out (unless being a household staff which is by her and her alone, as part of the Victorian Order) on behalf of the Gov't (honours commission which is part of the gov't is who awards them)
Maybe that's a good thing. Why should acting and playing a character be about what kind of star they are away from the job, and how much plastic surgery the people have? Actors aren't that important. They pretend to play more useful people.
I love this lady! Her and Diane Carroll were so elegant before I even knew the meaning of the word. I would always think of my Nana when I heard them speak, or watched them interact with people.
A knee in the nether regions or a slap... she always fought back.... that’s why I love this woman so much. Strong brave beautiful woman I love her to bits
It's not just about fighting back, it's about standing your ground and saying you can't manipulate me. Even if they threaten you, you can't give in. Sure, it may take you longer to get ahead, but who's still around Joan Collins or Marilyn Monroe?
I love watching her just so many stories tell us about all the great legendary actors and she has some truthful story is that may not be that glamorous but we need to hear it rest in peace to Jackie of course
The British actors view acting in a different light. It's about a skill and talent to be developed. It's a job. What attracts me to her is her speaking voice, her tenacity, her resilience, one of the representatives of the Golden Age of Hollywood, down to earth,, her beautiful looks, in that order. Go, Joan!
As a huge fans since my childhood (Dynasty) I was so thrilled that she was made a Dame! God she‘s been on Larry King so many times! LOL I really want to watch American Horror Story with her. Should be available on Blu-Ray by now? Met her a few times in Person and got several autographs/signed books! Lovely Lady! Adored her play Legends and an Evening with JC! Her husband is so kind! 👍🏻 Long my she live! ❤️
Joan,,,, you will always dream about Jacki that is a sign she is near you and I think we all need to know our departed love ones are watching over us it's a great comfort... To me anyway 💚💐🙏💚💐
I was invited to a friends wedding (she’s on TV in the UK) a few years back. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it. Afterwards she told me that Joan and her hubby Percy were sat at my table too. I almost cried as I simply adore her.
Dame Joan Collins is still gorgeous and glamorous in her 80's, still a class act in front and behind the camera, after all these years she didn't sell her soul or give her dignity away, for fleeting fame and hollow fortune standing fast to her integrity, albeit there lies the secret of her longevity.
Im sorry but Larry King needs to be more warm. Poor Joan said she still dreams about her sister and Larry's responce is " oh really. Did you know dynasty would be a hit." Hes just cut and dry.
Norm MacDonald has a routine on this very thing! Larry had a guest on who had lost their child and he used the opportunity to namedrop: "Paul Newman told me you never get over it!"
I didn't know of her until AHS but i liked her very much and the fact that she knew Merilyn monroe kinda stuck with me because really... How many actors do we have from that era who are still able to communicate well and unveil the truth and stories of how it was back then.m mso it's nice to see her on big modern shows
Being an Australian I see a lot of Kylie Minogue in this beautiful English Rose, Kylie has lived in London for half of her life now, both women are humble, polite, feminine and certainly not silly!
Great performer she is! The way she played, back in the day, as Alexis was absolutely class! I never knew she was into art too, would love to see some of her drawings.
She’s so so so so wonderful!!! I just luv luv luv her! I remember watching Dynasty at 10 years old, and being enchanted by it. And later at the beginning of season 2, watching Joan as Alexis, and seeing her and jut falling in love with her! Luved her all throughout Dynasty and beyond!! ❤❤❤
Joan Collins is my favorite movie star of all time. In this interview she's truly herself, a vulnerable, honest and gracious timeless beauty. Larry could have done better, I wanted to hear more about what she went through with her sister passing.
What an appalling interviewer. Does he even listen to the answers from his questions? For Joan to say something as touching as 'I still dream about her', and for him to respond by saying 'did you think Dynasty would be a success?' is just crass and insensitive. As ever, Joan is intelligent and humorous.
@@cromerbeach LOL Back in the day, her own Agent admitted that she was 50/51 when she joined Dynasty in 1981 but told everyone she was just 48. She has fibbed about her age since the start of her career. I'm not judging - it actually maies her health, beauty and vigour all the more amazing - Betty White got nuthin' on Dame Joan!!! 😂😂😂
Tom Jones I suppose but Betty White was a natural beauty in her day, where as Joanie had always wore very heavy make up and wigs but she seems pretty sharp for her age for sure when you see her interviewed . Lol of course 'it's not unusual' ( get it Tom Jones) for women to lie about their age
I MET JOAN COLLINS AFTER HER PERFORMANCE IN "PRIVATE LIVES" AT THE BENEDUM CENTER IN PITTSBURGH, PA. AFTER THE PERFORMANCE SHE WAS AT THE SIDE STAGE DOOR AND IT WAS RAINING. I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE AND SHE POKED HER HEAD OUT AND SAID, "YOU BETTER COME IN HERE, BECAUSE I'M NOT COMING OUT HERE." I'M 6'2" AND I LOOKED LIKE A GIANT AGAINST HER PETITE FRAME. I WILL NEVER FORGET OUR SHORT ENCOUNTER.
Joan Collins is about 80 here. Amazing. Collins is invariably an interesting interviewee. Gorgeous classy woman. Larry King looks so old. He can hardly talk. Time to retire and let someone else have a chance.
She has a 6 decade+ career and is still working and you people have nothing better to do than dig about her looks and speculate about plastic surgery? What man has to put up with that? None. This is what women have to look forward to? Sad
Agree with you completely. IF folks want to get plastic surgery that's their choice but to assume that everyone of a certain age, who looks healthy, MUST have had work done is pretty much a "Haters" game.

@@pelaito2 thank you so much
@happycanadianguy Guys watched Dynasty?! Who knew!
@@LisaMaryification we had 2 channels growing up lol lived in the country
They sure broke the mold with Joan... one of a kind. 💘
Joan isn't a Dame. She's a QUEEN. 🥰
YES!!!
All the awards below say (if I am correct for its name the Order of St George) are all plated gold, but the highest one being solid
Yeah is rather like I thought a GBE more formally Knight/Dame Grand Cross (GBE), hers will be a DBE a great thing as well to get

84 in this interview? That’s really a very beautiful lady and classy
Lolita Morris she's born Mai 1933. She's going to be 87 this year ❤️
I'm not a fan of hers, but she is good. And look at her neck.. this area is always a give away, hardly old for 84... don't you think?
@Different People Joan Collins has never had surgery
Different People - Joan is old school and doesn't tell lies.
Never using soap on her face is one of her beauty tips.
@@annewarrell748 are you joking?
The lady is 87 still looks good and is sharp as a tack. All about taking care of yourself inside and out .
ALWAYS A TRUE PLEASURE LISTEN TO ANY DAME JOAN COLLINS INTERVIEW ,,,SHE IS A TRUE LIVING LEGEND
I love this woman! She inspired me to live a life bigger than it was meant for me. What a spirit❤
She is one of my favorites of all time. I grew up watching her ad Alexis on Dynasty. Fabulous, smart, beautiful, classy, versatile and glamourous.
She is a Legend and looks amazing at 84
Joan Collins is "THE LAST MOVIE STAR" !!!!!
I don't think was ever considered a movie 'star '
Maybe that's a good thing. Why should acting and playing a character be about what kind of star they are away from the job, and how much plastic surgery the people have? Actors aren't that important. They pretend to play more useful people.
Life either breaks you, or makes you stronger.
Amen
And as Alexis said to Cassie 'Either time serves US...or we serve time!'
I love this lady! Her and Diane Carroll were so elegant before I even knew the meaning of the word. I would always think of my Nana when I heard them speak, or watched them interact with people.
Love Joan Collins. Beautiful, talented, great personality!
A knee in the nether regions or a slap... she always fought back.... that’s why I love this woman so much. Strong brave beautiful woman I love her to bits
Anthony Newley was a horrible disappointment.
So how did she nail all her contracts if the ones in control had inappropriate requirements ? Eh? A knee and a slap?
I wonder
@@valentineaboutpurelove516 you believe whatever you need to and I will do the same
It's not just about fighting back, it's about standing your ground and saying you can't manipulate me. Even if they threaten you, you can't give in. Sure, it may take you longer to get ahead, but who's still around Joan Collins or Marilyn Monroe?
@@LisaMaryification Joan said in an interview that Marilyn "warned her about the wolves in Hollywood" ...
She is a real Diva, great professional and elegant lady. All new actrices should learn from her !
I love watching her just so many stories tell us about all the great legendary actors and she has some truthful story is that may not be that glamorous but we need to hear it rest in peace to Jackie of course
Shes still stunning
Dania Ann satan worship
she is right, women have been speaking out; nobody cared
Or they would turn it back around to being about the women.
She spoke but many couldn’t and the ones that spoke were ignored. It is good now things are changing ❤️❤️

She still looks great for 86 years old! Dynasty was a game changing show! We used to sneak and watching as kids. lol.
Absolutely love Joan, what an inspiration!
Joan,,,, you will always dream about Jacki that is a sign she is near you and I think we all need to know our departed love ones are watching over us it's a great comfort... To me anyway 💚💐🙏💚💐
Dame Joan Collins, truly the most glamourous actress of the United Kingdom. So beautiful!!
God bless her she still looking gorgeous
Larry really phoned this one in. A banal interview. She is class and I'm sure has 1001 fascinating stories if they were teased out. She looks amazing.
Yes, but had she been 30 or 40 years younger than him, and coquettish, he would have been on the edge of his seat, lapping it up.
@@fringedwellermccatintyre730 he looked very Ill. Not sure it has anything to do with Joan’s age…
I was invited to a friends wedding (she’s on TV in the UK) a few years back. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it. Afterwards she told me that Joan and her hubby Percy were sat at my table too. I almost cried as I simply adore her.
She is utterly and wholly admirable!

Im sorry but Larry King needs to be more warm. Poor Joan said she still dreams about her sister and Larry's responce is " oh really. Did you know dynasty would be a hit." Hes just cut and dry.
It's called: "Going through the motions" and not engaging in a real interview.
He is old. No space for disturbing emotions. But Joan is unchanged for last 40 years.
Hes a cadaver. Phoning it in to support the ex wives
He was always like that.
Norm MacDonald has a routine on this very thing! Larry had a guest on who had lost their child and he used the opportunity to namedrop: "Paul Newman told me you never get over it!"
I didn't know of her until AHS but i liked her very much and the fact that she knew Merilyn monroe kinda stuck with me because really... How many actors do we have from that era who are still able to communicate well and unveil the truth and stories of how it was back then.m mso it's nice to see her on big modern shows
Joan Collin: A fan, and learnt a lot about one of her books. RIP to her sister Jackie Collin. Have a nice day!
What a grande Dame ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How extraordinary to see a gorgeous older woman without plastic surgery. How I respect her for that. She's a marvel.
Brenda Anne Du Faur without? Aha! She does look great and never over did it
She probably has done it, but just enough not to look artificial
She has always been so classy!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the last links to that old show business glam star time... . An Joan is definitely that .. She was perfect for American horror story...
Gracious and charming! I have the urge to hug her
Being an Australian I see a lot of Kylie Minogue in this beautiful English Rose, Kylie has lived in London for half of her life now, both women are humble, polite, feminine and certainly not silly!
Just so you know, Joan Collins is going to be 87 in May, still looks fab, and a young voice, i say keep going Joan, age is just a number after all.
She was born in 1932! Turns 90 next year. Absolutely amazing.
Love her, so much. Classy and an inspiration.
Great performer she is! The way she played, back in the day, as Alexis was absolutely class! I never knew she was into art too, would love to see some of her drawings.

For Joan to say something as touching as 'I still dream about her', and for him to respond by saying 'did you think Dynasty would be a success?' is just crass and insensitive.

I prefer his interviewing techniques much better than Barbara Walters who enjoyed watching her guests cry!
@@kathleenfedrizzi315 Oh, Kathleen.....she sounds lovely!! Not!
Sometimes switching subjects is the best way to maintain.
I agree, he was so scripted. He should feed the questions to the answers.
It was jarring, that abrupt segue from something so sensitive.
No offer for Joan to Cameo in the new Dynasty? It certainly needs a boost!
She said she’s not interested in appearing on it because as far as she’s concerned dynasty already happened
She doesn't want to and I wouldn't do it either unless that check was huge
..I'm still in love with Joan Collins...
JC is amazing sunshine and beyond I love her
She was honest about the #metoo, not like all these Hollywood actresses.
@jay kay Sexually harassing and raping one's employees is the only "crap."
Love you Joan !!!
dame joan deserves an honorary oscar for all the movies she has made !!!!! love the the 1950's movies she made for 20th century fox.
Joan Collins is simply phenomenal.
Love Joan ❤️

Amazing Actress, huge body of work, so much more to her than Dynasty.
She always looks good but I have not seen her in a couple of years and assumed she was finally too decrepit and on her last legs, not so at all!
Women like that never succumb to decrepit!

Best insight I've heard in a while. Right on the mark. Add to that the lies that we tell ourselves.
This is one classy woman
My mother looks like Dame Joan Collins. My mom is Italian
She has a 6 decade+ career and is still working and you people have nothing better to do than dig about her looks and speculate about plastic surgery? What man has to put up with that? None. This is what women have to look forward to? Sad
Agree with you completely. IF folks want to get plastic surgery that's their choice but to assume that everyone of a certain age, who looks healthy, MUST have had work done is pretty much a "Haters" game.
