Many ‘new’ celebrities could learn a thing or two about elegance, poise, and how to conduct oneself from Joan Collins. What a life she has lived and still living, amazing woman!

The English-born actress from Paddington, London, is probably most known for starring as Alexis Carrington Colby in the soap opera Dynasty.

Dynasty made Joan an international superstar, and the series became the most popular show in the United States in 1984. Back then, she was earning $15,000 per episode. Around 21 million households watched her every week, waiting to see what her narcissistic and ruthless character would come up with.

”She was the first empowered woman on TV. And I got a lot of flack for it. She’s such a ballbreaker, she’s so bitchy, she’s such a vixen! You know, I was just standing up for myself as an independent woman!,” Joan told CBS in 2019.
