Discovered at 19, 22 star,”has-been” at 25, that’s how Joan Collins defined her career in the cruel jungle known as Hollywood .
After years of less and less flattering roles, the gutsy Brit reached her forties, the traditional tomb of the status of those who managed to get on in the acting world with great beauty as their main asset.
But unlike so many other forty year’s old women in showbizz, when work became sparse,in the 80’s Joan made a completely unprecedented exploit, by becoming finally, at almost fifty years, an international superstar thanks to a unique role on the small screen, as Alexis Moray- Carrington-Colby-Dexter, the fabulous Superbitch in Dynasty .
Since then, 80 years Joan, always remembers to smile, still shuns the sun and it’s ageing effects, favours “big hair “wigs, Nivea cream and a pretty strong make-up, darkest smoky eyes, tons of mascara, false eye-lashes, plenty of blusher and dark shades of reds on the perfectly painted lipstick. She is always immaculately groomed and takes great care of herself.
Joan Collins doesn’t age. Her approach to life shows us that age is nothing to fear with the right frame of mind. She is an inspiration to all women in the our world when a 30 years old woman is quite often considered past her best…
