She brought this outrageous pantomime camp to Dynasty. Her Hollywood experience and British notion of theatre made her perfect for Alexis. Without Joan as Alexis Dynasty would have been pitifully without any dynamism. Having read a few of her confessional books, I'm a great fan, she is very transparent, honest and a true survivor and lover of life.
Dame Joan Collins has a huge gay male following, gay men simply adore her and she is known to have many gay friends, partly because Alexis in Dynasty had a gay son Steven and Alexis accepted her son being gay far more than Blake did - Alexis’ fashion sense has been an inspiration to many drag queens the world - I’m surprised that Dame Joan has not yet been a guest judge on Ru Paul’s Drag Race and/or many other gay talk shows
You know? There's just some people that are a huge cut above the rest of us. We are dull and dry next to their blazing miracle of a star. Their beauty and talent, the way they move and carry themselves. It's so wonderful to watch!
My good friend, the late Lou Lucke, drove Joan Collins around Montana when she was a Lucky Strike girl. He, of course, sold Lucky Strikes back then. Years later, when we met, we got to talking one day about the shows I loved to watch. I told him my favorite show in the 80s was Dynasty and that Alexis was my favorite. He thought that was neat. He said she was very petite, and very, very polite. He really liked her.
Amateur here. I was looking for Collins and spent hours going down the Joan CRAWFOD rabbit hole. Glad I regrounded myself lol. Collins is fantastic, and far from the prudish Crawford. Happy to be here, and ready for more of Collins. Good video!
What a family!! Producing two of the most talented and desirable creatures to grace our planet. Resilient, intelligent, human beings who truly loved their children and are or did leave an interesting and wonderful legacy.
We share the same birthday. She was 36 when I was born the same day May 23; 1969. We have in common a blouse she wore with a high collar. My mother made a blouse with ahigh color and there's a pose she made in this documentary. I have a picture of myself in 2011, 2013. THE SAME POSE. AND SHE WORE COLORS THAT I LIKE AND WORE AS WELL. She's gorgeous and resilient. I love and remember Dame Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington 👏🏾but I want to see more of her work when she was younger 🥰😍
I remember this I was on in New York in 80’s. And you could get a table at any restaurant on Thursday night and there were nobody in the bars. They are all at home watching Dynasty and Joanne Collins fighting with Crystal.
Joan and Alexis is proof that Certain actors and one character they portrayed are a match made in heaven. Larry Hagman will always be JR Ewing, Lucille Ball will always be Lucy Ricardo, Desi Arnaz Sr will always be thought of when Babaloo is played and Judy Garland will always be Dorothy Gale and Over the Rainbow will always be her song!
I will always like and love Joan Alexis Collins she always speaks her mind and thanks to dress very stylish just like I do she's got style she's got flare and that's why they call her Alex🙋🏻♀️
And at her age I have never seen an actress that looks so gorgeous & if they would have cast Joan in the pint of Cleopatra she would have done much better than Elizabeth Taylor. ✍️
@@chriswilliamson83 sometimes when people are being intimidated they laugh out of nervousness or as a defense mechanism, and the one doing the intimidation is just enjoying it, but her fight wasn't against the lawyer so i'm sure they weren't enemies in the end.
My mom favorit idle and i admire her too ,real gorgoues and talented actress although iam from current generation but i love classics their time were cozy , love was love God is respected , people respect each other & there were honesty and genuine in everything i feel sorry for our generations and those coming after is we existed in hell era.
I support the nomination for Dame Joan Collins for British Prime Minister - not only does her role as Alexis in Dynasty make her far more suited to the role, despite the fact that she has had huge success in Hollywood, she has never lost touch with her British roots, she is an ardent Monarchist and has been a champion of traditional British Values and she is also very much in touch with current issues - her interviews in which she discussed her political leanings also make her perfectly suited to the role as well 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️🥰😍😘😘😘
i must say when i watched this show joan collins knew how to play this part of alexis carrington colby this one of my favorite tv night shows and also love dynasty theme of the show to love you joan collins.
Haha my favourite part is when (near the end) her son was saying she loves to act, she loves to live that life and he looked suddenly confused like, 'how is it possible to enjoy living like that?? but there you go.' Lol
I love Liz taylor but stil the movie cleopatra would have been better with less investment and joan in the leading role,somehow i picture her more suitable for that role.
At 21:14 - a shot of Joan and Jackie Collins: does Jackie not look almost exactly like Stephanie Beacham? Maybe they got the idea from Jackie's looks, to use Stephanie as Alexis' "cousin" in Dynasty (and the Colbys).
Not to mention Cassandra-Cassie-CARESS MORELL being an aspiring writer. "Sister Dearest" is a WONDERFUL piece of fiction. (gasp of horror) "You've read it??? I'll see you DEAD for this Alexis!"
Joan is very beautifully lady on dynasty tv show and I love Joan whole clothes at tv show yess she love color black , white look so good on Joan yes I notices younger men popluras to Joan yess !! Wow
More than Liz, or Marilyn, more than Grace or Sophia, - Joan, - I think is undoubtedly the most beautiful actress I've ever enjoyed on screen. And she's obviously not just a pretty face, the girl is a wonderful and consummate actress. Like a genuinely lovely woman, each year that passes, she becomes ever more radiant. I'll have to read her books. It was so weird seeing her son interviewed. I remember hearing the same thing about my own mother, and I just found it, - or I just felt like, - I don't know, it was just so creepy or something. I mean, 'that's' my mom 🥴, it's just weird that's all. Now that I'm grown up though, I guess it's not so weird 😑. Joan's never done a role where she wasn't just striking. She did some British 60's horror film once called "Inn of the Frightened People", one of those lower-budgeted B films I guess, and she just stood-out like sunshine at midnight. All her stuff was so good, because she was in it; I'm just a fan I guess. She is like a 'natural' movie star.
I noticed how the lady narrator kept saying: DEN(nesty) not DYnasty; I never heard it pronounced the way the narrator lady said it before; unless I’ve been pronouncing wrong myself😳😳 anyways nice biography of Joans life!!
@@DIVADUCHESSE Liz Taylor didn’t age well her last 20 years. I actually met her in 1993. My friends and I were not that impressed-a huge amount of over teased hair making her head looking too big for her body. She wore just a ton of make-up (and I love make-up), she’s short AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE VIOLET EYES. They were blue grey.
@@sogorgeous2257 so gorgeous 2 , but what kind of a light did you see her in ? In other words was it sunlight ? Were you indoors ? Also whatever color a person is wearing will be reflecting up to their eyes at certain angles ... or if somebody was right in front of her her wearing bluish-gray , it could have made her eyes look that way .
@@DIVADUCHESSE joan collins has always been a second rate actress for b movies...Elisabeth taylor was a true star, far more beautiful, charismatic and talented.
I could not ever believe there were women like that ever anywhere, silly painted dollies. But Joan was perfect for the role and Linda Evans was not.!! Her persona would be better for a soap opera girl living in a place called Forrest Hills baking cookies and being a mom of 3. That bat wing hair style was so hilarious and I can't believe she would except something so lame.

I highly appreciate Joan’s frankness and her wittiness. Classic British… lived in London for a while sending a 😘 to my England friends
She's an incredibly beautiful, talented lady who oozes class and grace. What resilience and strength.
Bless you Saint Joan. ❤️🙏🏻💖♥️💖♥️
How come she never sock with an American accent???
@@me67226She is English so why fake a American Accent , that’s what we like she isn’t fake

Such a hard working actress
Joan / Alexis = the last one of real Hollywood royalty🥰
Joan got more and more gorgeous with age.
More & More surgery
She's my favorite Gemini and one like me. We share the same birthday
MAY 23..
@me6712 fool she needed none fool
Back it up, please
She channeled Alexis and she won the law suit! lol good for you! ❤️

Joan Collins is a real woman what you see is what you get
The last Star from the glamorous era.... 💜
Indeed,real Hollywood Royalty
Long live Joan Collins!
Very Great Artist ! Role Model for everyone Artist and Star !

And she does look fabulous
And she does look beautiful just like fine wine as the wind gets older she gets better and sexier and.✍🏻🍸🍾👄🚬💨👠💋🚬💜📸💥💥💥
And at her age I have never seen an actress that looks so gorgeous & if they would have cast Joan in the pint of Cleopatra she would have done much better than Elizabeth Taylor. ✍️
at around 37:03 I loved how she told that guy he isn't allowed to come close to her ! GO JOAN! lol
Beautiful lady. Loved her hair in short style. Classy ❤
Love her!
That Random House lawyer "Don't you have any shame?" uncalled for, Alexis needed to make an appearance so to speak, and i'm so glad she did
Yeah but you could see him laughing with Collins a bit after the "have you no shame" comment, so they weren't enemies in the end.

Yessss City on the Edge of Forever, one of THE favorite ST:TOS episodes of all time.

People and things are very shallow now
Joan Collins - always the rebel, the sapphire, the bitch. Love her fire and unfuckablewith spirit!
Damn, i get excited when i see Patrick Swayze after! We need a double episode!
She’s one hell of a career people these would kill to have a career like hers
Beautiful.
Did not know her daughter was in a coma. Wow. She is just a mountain of strength.
Yeah, that was Joan's daughter, Katy Kass, by her third husband Ron Kass. There was an article by Joan in a women's magazine about this in 1982.
I have never ever seen so much lipstick in a documentary!
Ever!

she is not my super star but she is a very good actress and a good mother. anyway she is beautiful at that generation.
Very Star joan collins 👏
Our Joanie.
She is a great 👍 actress and so is Elizabeth Taylor a great 👍 actress I enjoy 😉 watching her movies 🎥
That's one foxy lady!
She got more sexier as she got older.
I just watched clip of her on good morning Brittan. How does she not look a day older than she did in dynasty?
love her
I think the producers should've kept Joan Collins to play Cleopatra.👈🏾
I like joans Collins. Never underestimate a woman power. She is the woman of the woman!
Just love this lady.
I love her
Haha my favourite part is when (near the end) her son was saying she loves to act, she loves to live that life and he looked suddenly confused like, 'how is it possible to enjoy living like that?? but there you go.' Lol

Euh...no!!!!!
Her mother was beautiful at that round table looking like joan
Amazing
A true Gem 💎
I love her inner humor
Also, reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor in Land of the Pharos.

I think Jackie might have had eyelid surgery later on for some reason-- but over there she does look like her
Joan is very beautifully lady on dynasty tv show and I love Joan whole clothes at tv show yess she love color black , white look so good on Joan yes I notices younger men popluras to Joan yess !! Wow
Would certainly like to wake up in the morning alongside her..lol wowzer

lovely!
Ah, this bio is a new upload~!
Yes think so. Like your username!
Sacha is the image of his father.
Love her. Is she rich?

Warren batty was a stud looked like
Id love to know the name of the piano song from 9:39 - 9:46.
She succedded when she played a role she gave her individuality to instead to trying to copy Marilyn as in the film Joan played beside Paul Newmann
Looks like liz taylor
Star trek and Space:1999 guest star
Yousra Adly.
"Idle" means " lazy "
You mean "IDOL".
🇬🇧😊🌿🌎😠🇬🇧😊
She was in 7 episodes of Pacific Palisades, people that don't fact check.... researchers!
TALES FROM THE CRYPT is a FABULOUS horror film. Just saying!
Actually I never liked her intolerable manner and her spoiled expression...but her dicipline and her intrepid self - confidence is remarkable...
I think she plays up what people have always thought of her based on her looks
That is the sign of a real Diva, the last descendent of Hollywood royalty
Use Hollywood then bash it..Right Joan
There was something special about her too strong but she was very feminine and she's smart
I would give anything to poke Joan Collins she in the same category as Raquel Welch very beautiful women 💋💪🍎
I noticed how the lady narrator kept saying: DEN(nesty) not DYnasty; I never heard it pronounced the way the narrator lady said it before; unless I’ve been pronouncing wrong myself😳😳 anyways nice biography of Joans life!!
...It’s how British people pronounce it. Even Joan Collins says it that way in interviews.
@@TheFever77... We just call it pronouncing it correctly like so many other words.
Everyone outside of the States calls it Dynasty. True pronunciation.
Embracing my 'Alexis' has saved the day-- once I learned what to do with her. Can anyone relate?
I'm wondering if that means either Blake or Cecil for the guys. I'd much rather be a Cecil.
Back in the day when women wore their own beauty and didnt all become cosmetic sisters.
40:14 i didn t know her daughter converted to judaism !!
7:25
She was (is) a pretty women. Glamorous stylish. But was she a good actress? Shes definitely a star but not an icon.
It's pronounced die ness tee
I never understood why she is extreme right wings. What have foreigners done to her ?
Pronounce it DIENASTIE
Fin. Clolin
What?
I always thought of her of as an Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe...except her eyebrows which I never liked bc they are a million miles apart.
Joan should be Cleopatra...
At least Joan is still a Diva and Elizabeth was an old wreck at the end...
