Nobody could have played the role of Alexis like Joan Collins!
AGREE! The role was destined for her!
Yes! I'm so glad Sophia Loren turned the role down ☺️
I saw Joan Collins once in the 90's. She came backstage when Anthony Newley was performing in London, and I happened to be there. She sure knew how to use makeup and was gorgeous.
Joan Collins has such a lovely speaking voice and this vocal precision really added to her role as vixen Alexis!
I’m a huge fan, what a wonderful lady!
Joan Collins is a wonderful actress. She played Alexi Colby's bitch so convincingly in DYNASTY. This is real professionalism. Joan Collins is a very beautiful and talented actress.
There will never be another Joan.
She is a Brilliant Actress.
Met Joan and Percy in Bath we were having Sunday lunch on tables next to each other. They were both fabulous, generous and entertaining.
I bet it made your day.
Joan is so down to earth and yet sooooo glamorous. Bring back those days of old Hollywood glamour.
Down to earth. She is the epitome of the word snob.
I saw her in person in 2019 she looks amazing so glad she didn't overdo anything like so many others
I stood behind Joan Collins in a queue for the ladies at a London theatre YEARS ago at a performance of Trelawny of the Wells. She stood in line with everyone else and smiled at me as she rinsed her hands at the next basin. Not a very glamorous setting but I can confirm in real life she actually looks even better than on TV.
What was she wearing?
Joan becomes even more glamorous and beautiful as time goes by
Obsessed with Joan. Outstanding person. Absolute excellence.
Joan Collins gives great interview - grace, pace, strong vocabulary, and a great conversationalist. One can see she honed her social skills throughout the decades and the camera loves her.
That is because she is a GEMINI !
@@renegaderunner332 THANK YOU
@@renegaderunner332 That`s because she is an experienced lady!
That too! But many geminis are known for their communication and verbal skills.
@@renegaderunner332 I share the same birthday as Joan Collins. Not the same year. Always admired her. Gemini women are beautiful. Pam Grier, Kylie Minogue, Angelina Jolie, Josephine Baker...and the epitome of beauty Marilyn Monroe. I'm honoured to share ny sign with such Iconic Women!
I’m a new Joan fan! I started binge watching several series she did based on books and loved them. Yes, she truly brought that elegant jet-setter persona without coming across as a gold digger or trashy. Today’s shows don’t polish actresses enough and I think it’s sad. Here’s to you Joan! 🥂
Joan has always been so beautiful..can’t believe she’s in her late 80s I’ve seen 35 year olds who don’t hold a candle to her!
Agreed
I love Joan, such a pro xxx
💯
I totally agree 👍👍👍
Because ageism is stunted and so are ageists.
Its always a pleasure to watch Joan Collins. She is still so beautiful, and comes across very genuine. She dares to say what she thinks.
She so beautiful and glamorous
And she seems so humble and down to earth. Not to mention a very intelligent women.
She looks fabulous
I can't fault her, absolute epitome of class, grit, self-respect and determination. What's not to love 💕
Recently got the Dynasty DVD's... It was so much fun to watch, Joan did an AWESOME JOB playing Alexis. I wished i lived thru the 80s.
80's were good, yeah ... I have mostly good memories from being a little kid back then ...
It was a great period. Loved it.
80's and 90's best decades ever!
This woman is full of life at her age. Incredibly witty, bright and very beautiful. I’d like to watch her on TV again
Watch American Horror Story, she’s in seasons 8 and 9
She’s like the British Betty White!
I love, love , love Joan....they don't make em like her anymore!
what a delight to hear her talk about her work; a true, enduring star.
I never really thought of her one way or another - was not a Dynasty fan - but you can't help falling in love with her: Honest, funny, down to earth.
There is no one more glamorous than Joan Collins!
Joan! Such an incredibly intelligent and interesting actress. Love that she made her mark in her mid-40’s. Truly a trailblazer in a plethora of ways.
I love Joan Collins
She still kept her young voice
😂😂😂
I always wondered about that. I could never tell if she was in real life but she was ALWAYS smoking on Dynasty; and usually, people who smoke a lot over many years get chronic vocal and respiratory issues as they age.
@@FallacyAsPraxis Voice normally deepens with age anyway mine has and i don't smoke, yes she does smoke but suppose she been lucky its up till now never caused serious illness
You can't watch a bit of an interview Joan Collins gives; you need to make time for the whole thing, no matter how long, since her charisma, sense of humor and wit will keep you glued till the end!
I most admire Dame Joan for her love and care of her children, particularly in looking after Katy following the accident.
Joan Collins has always been such an iconic beauty, she hasn't aged a bit, since her roles as Edith Keeler, The Siren, or Alexis. A woman of such poise and grace.
One of my favorite villains from the Batman show.
A true professional, charismatic personality, and seemingly a lovely person.I'd watch her in anything.
Isn't she just marvelous.
I’ve started listening to her biography and she was well ahead of her time. In a MeToo movement, women seeking a career in the Industry should listen to how Joan navigated advances and her thoughts on not attaining a career by succumbing. Very strong women. Iconic.
Joan Collins absolutely nailed the role of Alexis.
Yes she did! That's probably why Dynasty lasted for 9 seasons. It's rumored that Dynasty was about to be cancelled after season 2 because the ratings were horrible until Joan came on board ❤♥️❤
@@QueenAlexis556 That wasn’t just a rumour. Blake Carrington was as evil a character they had until Alexis showed up. After she arrived, Blake became the good guy to contrast Alexis…kind of like J.R. and Bobby on Dallas.
Still gorgeous at 88!!
Joan Collins she was great.
I love her acting.
She was beautiful.
❤
Not was , you mean still is
Dame Joan brought glamour and fun into my life during the 80's and 90' sure but she is still bringing it . Salute you Dame Joan Collins
She's the last ultimate glamorous Star from the golden era of Hollywood.....
Very nice Lady..... 💜
She's not...because she has never been a STAR during the "golden era" of hollywood...just one of the many actresses of that time...
@@christophepena2212 sorry but the 80s was still the golden era of Hollywood the end of the era but still the era ! hater
@@alanwisdom7777 i'm not a "hater"...when i was child,i watched dynasty...joan Collins is a celebrity..not a STAR!
@@christophepena2212 You just nailed it !! She was a 'B' movie actress and not a very good one , she got her big break with Dynasty !
Thank you
Joan Collins was never a star of the 'Golden Age of Hollywood', she was placed under contract to 20th Century Fox in 1955 , by 1959 her contract ended.
She was never a first rank star and was considered during her film career as a 'B' movie actress.
She did achieve major fame however with the tv show Dynasty in the 1980's and she is very glamorous for her age, no question, however you cannot describe her as the last ultimate star ! You can't compare her to someone like Eva Marie Saint , Sophia Loren etc
Thank you
Adore Joan Collins! My name is Collin Jones!!!! 😂😂😂 I owned a limousine service in San Antonio Texas in 1997 and my boyfriend Bryan at the time worked at Moratidis furs across the street from our apt., one of my chauffeurs called me and said... just picked up Joan Collins and forwarn Bryan and Moratidis that we'll be there shortly. There were all pissed she didn't buy anything!!!! Another crazy life story left to history!!! 😎
Was she nice?
I was young, about 9 or 10 when Dynasty came on and all i cared about was baseball lol so i wasn't truly aware of Joan Collins until she made the Roseanne appearance. I fell DEEPLY in love with her with one viewing. She was my absolute dream of a perfect woman and she still is. Funny, intelligent, gorgeous, strong... You get the idea. It's so terrific to see all the interviews on TH-cam. Classy woman always.
Such a class act.
A classy star
Old Hollywood
So beautiful
Much love from Israel 🇮🇱 ❤💋
What a woman! The last of the Hollywood glamour girls. The stories Joan could tell.
Always a treat to see Joan Collins. I've seen her in more than Dynasty, but she will always be Alexis to me.
Prior to Dynasty, she had some pretty good film and TV work. After Dynasty, everything reads as her playing Alexis playing whichever character.
No one can do it like her. She made it so believable. I loved that character. She said and did what a man would say and do.
still gorgeous and amazing. l love her she is a huge Hollywood legend.
These are the great actors.
She’s so generous with her advice.
I can't stand anything about modern day actors and actresses or their Tv series and movies, but it is such a joy to listen to these masters of the old school; the way they express themselves and recount their stories, ah, I could listen to somebody like Joan Collins for hours.
I’m not surprised Aaron Spelling was happy about casting her when she doffed her shades underneath the wide hat in court (I think). That arresting charisma of one of the most beautiful women in the world dazzles right through the lens.
I didn’t know I I liked Joan. Good grief what a great and interesting person. Allie knew was there were cat fights on tv and she wrote books, but underneath that was a really likable, assertive and nice person. And she was nice to her gay son character actor and I’m gay so I approve that. We were having it so bad back then. Yes, what a woman.
As a young man my first exposure to Joan Collins was her magnificent role on Star Trek as Edith Keeler…
I thought she is strong and beautiful and just Wow! That is a woman who exudes self awareness and strength. In such a soft and gentle way….
It was love at first sight for me honestly….
I love it when she says to Captain Kirk "a Lie is a terrible way to say hello"
Such an admirable woman - she's got everything and even @ this age a timeless beauty!!!
Her brain is still so sharp. Her recall is fantastic.
Joan will always be my favorite actress such a class act❤
I have a story from a cabin crew friend - a ‘little old lady got on the flight with a head scarf and a mackintosh - and a large vanity case - in 1st class. The seat belt sign clicked off and off the little old lady went to the bathroom with her case, after an hour he was concerned- she said she was ok. Door clicks open, Joan pops out, wig and make up on, looking *amazing*.’ He said she was charming polite friendly and marvellous.
I know she's in her 80s now but she come across as little old lady as you put it? or as you friend put it? For some reason I imagine her not to. As in her movements, her dress and how she's taken good care of herself.
Joan is very young at heart with the looks and charisma to match
@@Dreamskater100 I think that with a headscarf, a mackintosh and no make up, head down (and not wanting to be recognized - at least, at first), she "might" pass for an old lady. It was said Marilyn Monroe could turn on and off her "star quality".... I know it is hard for us mere mortals to believe Dame Joan could ever look anything less than stunningly young, hence my friend's total surprise!
@@sampuatisamuel9785 I think you have "hit the nail on the head" - staying young at heart is SO important (and yes, totally the looks to match too!)
Is that a Chinese Restaurant?
You know this is going to be a good interview.
"Alexis had a huge influence on lots of young women,
older women
...and some men" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
See! That is why gay men love her!
Greetings from the Great White North🇨🇦
I remember the 80’s tV worth watching Dallas, DYNASTY, Falcon Crest,
Joan sure knocked it out of the park. It’s amazing how she speaks and damn she does her own make up and hair.
What a beauty!
Cheers 🇨🇦
Wonderful joan Collins 👏
I noticed that people from her era has so much class and sophistication.
She's so beautiful, those eyes, cheekbones and almond face, just amazing. Her dictition and effortless way of speaking is so RADA and a real scoop for Hollywood, where the English do well. No American actor on Dynasty could match her talent.
As an older Irish gay man, I’ve always loved Dame Joan Collins as Alexis in Dynasty from my teens in the 1980’s growing up in a little village in Rural Ireland, as aside from her gay son Stephen, Alexis gave me the inspiration and the courage to come out as gay - I know that Joan in real life has many gay friends and even at 90, she still looks as wonderful as ever - she is a treasure and we are so lucky to still have her with us, with her handsome husband Percy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! Percy is sooo handsome!!❤
AMAZING JOAN COLLINS …so interesting
Joan Collins is just simply the Best !! i looooove her ....so talented and so beautiful !!!!!!!
Is this a recent interview? Joan looks amazing.
2012
She was around 79 here.
It is from 2012 but she still looks the same in 2021
She sure does
@@GeorgiaOverdrive she just stopped aging at a certain point
Without this woman dynastie is nothing..
Less than nothing.
What a fantastic interview! Joan, told her truths about how she got started in the movie industry at age 17! She only wanted to do the Theatre; which was popular in London.
Doing bit parts here and there, in movies has made a good living for herself! Dynasty difanetly put her on the map; as Alexis!
I've also read several of her books and her health and beauty information is priceless! Joan also dishes on her friend's health and beauty lifestyles!
I cannot believe it's been 33 years since Dynasty ended production.
I so adore her 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I loved Dynasty and i must say the only reason i watch was for Alexis Carrington . Joan Collins was brillant . She's such an amazing actress ! The best villain ever and the most glamorous !
I LOVE HER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge respect to Joan….. loved that she got to 90. Keep going! 🎉❤
Joan Collins is WONDERFULL and Georgeus and STUNING
Perhaps in 2012 seated in the seventh row at The Imperial Theater in NYC to watch the play Nice Work If You Can Get It. I discovered Joan Collins seated directly behind my seat. Instantly I grabbed her arm. Told her I loved her work. I often thought since then. Why did I grab Joan's arm and say what I did? Were it to happen again. I'd react again all the same. Joan is as exciting as she is fabulous. Bless her heart.
More flattering than an Italian waiter 🤣 I love her & Dynasty!
She's the most glamourous woman on earth! So beautiful! Love her movies and tv-work!
The fashion in Dynasty was unparalleled. It was couture fabulous. Alexis and Dominique Devereaux were definitely trend setters handsdown!
LOL. I don't know whether I want her to be my mother or my wife. She is brilliant.
love your series, Would be great if they created a series maybe on Netflix about the daily life of a beauty, fashion, travel & lifestyle influencer along with all the drama that goes with that and Joan Collins could play this role
I gave my daughter the middle name "Alexis" after her dynasty character. I grew up thinking she was the most beautiful
Great interview about "Dynasty" with the lovely Joan Collins.
#JoanCollins #Dynasty #80s #soapopera
Spent a brief moment with this Dame at an airport lounge many years ago. Unpretentious. Gracious. And just a nice lady. When a Legend is secure in her status there is no need for pretensions.
Love Joan 🥰🙌
Joan was a guest star on ‘the Nanny’.
Funny as Hell.
@@Dreamskater100 - She played the new wife of Maxwell’s father and therefore stepmother of Maxwell.
@@Dreamskater100 - Check: Maxwell’s father comes to dinner / The Nanny.
@@louisdewit4429 Thanks! I searched after & found it!
Joan is Dynasty.her beauty.her voice.Dynastys cast were and still are the most attractive cast ive ever seen.Just watched a scene from season 5 with John James and Jack Coleman and Michael Nader. young tall successful handsome men in the 1980s. This was superb casting.
That’s why I don’t watch shows made today. The cast are eyesores. Most leading men are barely a 5 and they expect me to watch it? And the female roles are always angry and bitter.
John, Jack and Michael were so hot!
Lovely Miss Collins.
She was great in Roseanne. Loved when Roseanne called her out on her English accent. 😂
“That hoity toity accent!”
I watched that episode about 2 weeks ago ❤❤ I think it was called "First cousin, twice removed" or something like that lol!😊
I been watching her ❤for the last 62 years and she never changes
What a great interview! I grew up watching Dynasty and she was AMAZING as Alexis. My favorites Dynasty scenes are the ones between Alexis and Sable next would be: Alexis and Dominique.
I love how she mentioned the "Deniro factor". Great point Ms. Collins! 👍
A really great interview.
The legend. Take notes, folks, because this lady knows heaps about life and the biz of show. Her beauty aside, I think we have to admire Joan's sense of humor, and her style, plus that knowing glint in her eyes that sometimes appears and can say much more than any word or phrase ever could.
She's done stage, softcore adult flicks, Faerie Tale Theatre, soap opera (a stint on Guiding Light in 2002), biblical epics of the 1950s, horror movies, American Horror Story: Apocaplyse, and much more. Such diverse stuff. I like that Joan is genuine when she speaks to an interviewer or appears on a live talk show; what you see and hear is what she is. There's no bullcrap or haughtiness at all.
I think one of my favorite things that she ever did was her appearance on an episode of the NBC sitcom Will and Grace, in which she played a rival interior designer, and in the episode, boozy society diva Karen Walker tells Grace about the glamorous woman's dirty little secret: occasionally disguising herself in public so she can indulge her predilection for messy Mexican food. Seeing Joan wolf down a gooey taco like a truck driver was priceless.
What a GOD GIVEN TALENTED LADY !!!!
It's amazing how many iconic roles she's done on different genres
JOAN One of my favorite actresses of all times 💕👌
JOAN COLLINS IS A CLASSY CLASS ACT!!!
Great interview 👍 👏 Love Alexis and Love Joan 💕
And the rest is history....Collins was born to play Alexis!!!!!!!
I admire her so much❤
Joan you are an amazing actress and very talented. I have enjoyed your work throughout the years. Thank you! 😊
Not was, she IS !
@@bgueberdenteich5206 Hello, I never used the terminology was when speaking of Joan Collins. However, I think she was, and still is, and will always be, a very talented actress in her own right.
@@carloclark1066 I apologize !
@@bgueberdenteich5206 No worries, apologies accepted my friend.
@@carloclark1066 thank you !
