Joan Collins may not want to Turn Back Time

1


Back in the 1970’s Joan Collins was having a rough time, as her career was really languishing in the  doldrums. She had yet to receive THE phone call from Aaron Spelling giving her the part of Alexis Carrington in Dynasty, and so had started the decade doing schlocky low budget horror movies, and then ended it starring in two soft-porn flicks based on her sister Jackie’s novels : The Stud and The Bitch.

However if you ask any Brit about their memories of Joan from this period, they will instantly tell about the series of TV adverts that she starred in for Cinzano which always ended up with the comic actor Leonard Rossiter throwing a drink all over her.

 

Now she is all very respectable and is Dame Joan Collins and will celebrate her 83rd Birthday next month, and although we don’t see her on the large or small screen much this days …..(she did play a Grand Duchess who was Liz Hurley’s Princess’s mother in the TV series The Royals last year) … she is still however treading the Boards.  She is going on tour around the UK with her new on-woman show called ‘Joan Collins Unscripted’ which is billed as ‘a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend an intimate, entertaining and unforgettable evening in the company of a true Hollywood legend.

queerguru suggests that if you do go and the Grand Lady has a a Q & A session at the end….then just don’t turn back time and ask her about what happened in the 1970’s.  Unless you want her to throw more than a drink over you that is.
