By any measure, Joan Collins is a true legend. Approaching her 90s, she may have left her most flamboyant days behind, but she’s far from slowing down. The iconic actress continues to captivate the world, proudly flaunting her beauty, grace, and unbreakable spirit.
Collins, born in Paddington, London, is best remembered for her unforgettable role as Alexis Carrington Colby in the hit show Dynasty. The series not only cemented her place in television history but also made her a global star. In 1984, Dynasty was the most-watched TV program in the US, and Joan was earning $15,000 per episode at the time. Millions tuned in each week to witness her powerful, fierce character.
“She was the first strong woman on television. And for that, I took a lot of heat,” Collins told CBS in 2019. “You know, I was just standing up for myself as an independent woman!”
Even after more than seven decades in show business, Joan Collins is still active in the entertainment industry. She starred in two films in 2022, Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex, and is currently working on In Bed with the Duchess. On top of that, Joan regularly shares her life with her fans on social media.
Just last month, as much of the US shivered through unseasonably cold weather, Joan turned up the heat with a stunning holiday post. She shared a photo of herself in a chic leopard-print swimsuit, standing beside her husband, Percy Gibson. At nearly 90, Joan looked absolutely radiant. She captioned the photo: “Had a terrific #christmasday,” adding that she enjoyed swimming in 82°F weather in Beverly Hills before a lovely lunch with friends.
Fans were quick to react to her glamorous look, praising the actress for her timeless beauty. Joan and Percy, who have been married since 2002, continue to enjoy their life together, often sharing affectionate moments on social media.
This marks Joan’s fifth marriage. Her previous marriages were to actor Maxwell Reed, singer-songwriter Anthony Newley, billionaire Ronald S. Kass, and Swedish pop star Peter Holm. Reflecting on her past relationships, Joan admitted, “I regret several of my marriages… but I don’t regret my marriage to Tony [Newley], as I had two amazing kids, Tara and Alexander, and one gorgeous daughter, Kathy, from my marriage to Ron [Kass].”
Despite her past regrets, Joan has found true happiness with Percy. She revealed that the pandemic lockdown only strengthened their bond. “We’re conspirators, partners in crime,” she shared.
Joan Collins is not only an icon but a beacon of strength, beauty, and resilience. At nearly 90, she’s still inspiring fans worldwide with her timeless grace and charm.
