Collins was educated at the Francis Holland School and then trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).

Collins' childhood was spent in and around Maida Vale and was, according to Collins, an idyllic one with plenty of love, comfort and security. Her father, however, was also a strict disciplinarian and exerted a strong hold over her gentle mother, an attitude which came to irritate her daughters who sought to rebel against it. Collins has said of her father that "He was detached, cold, hard, critical, difficult, acerbic and everyone had to please him." He himself said, "I love my daughters but I am not the kind of parent who deludes himself that his children are superior to everyone else's. I did not think of them as particularly outstanding in any way."fact|date=September 2008

At the age of 17 Collins was signed to the J. Arthur Rank Film Company, a highly profitable British studio.

Early career

In 1951, she made her feature debut as a beauty contest entrant in "Lady Godiva Rides Again" and in 1952 she starred in the film "I Believe in You" based on the book "Court Circular" by Sewell Stokes. She was next signed by 20th Century Fox in 1954 as their answer to MGM's Elizabeth Taylor.fact|date=September 2008 According to a September 11, 1954 article in "Picture Post", Collins was frustrated by her time at Rank. Collins told the popular "Hulton Press Weekly", "They’re always carrying on about there being no women of star material in England. They don’t bother to build us up. They concentrate on building the men."

Collins was popular as a magazine pin-up in the UK throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, with cover appearances on titles such as "Span" and "66". "The glamour of Joan Collins", Magforum.com http://www.magforum.com/mens/joan_collins.htm]

Her notable guest appearances on American television during the 1960s included "Batman", ', "Police Woman", and the ' episode "The City on the Edge of Forever."

In the 1970s, Collins made several movies and then starred in the film versions of her sister Jackie Collins' racy novels "The Stud" and "The Bitch". The films were smash hits in England, becoming the most profitable films since the James Bond series.fact|date=September 2008 Collins has worked with some of the biggest names and movie legends in Hollywood, including Richard Burton, Bing Crosby, Bette Davis, Kirk Douglas, Gene Kelly, Laurence Harvey, Bob Hope, James Mason, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Edward G. Robinson, James Stewart, Rod Steiger, Joanne Woodward, Jayne Mansfield, Sir John Gielgud and Sir Nigel Hawthorne.

"Dynasty"

In the 1981, Collins' was offered a role in the then-struggling new prime time soap opera "Dynasty" (1981-1989) playing Alexis, the vengeful ex-wife of tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe). The role successfully relaunched Collins as a powerful sex symbol and icon of independence.fact|date=September 2008 Her performance is generally credited as one factor in the fledgling show's subsequent rise in the Nielsen RatingsSchemering, Christopher. "The Soap Opera Encyclopedia", September 1985, pg. 80-81, ISBN 0-345-32459-5 (1st edition)] to a hit rivaling "Dallas".

In 1985, "Dynasty" was the #1 show in the U.S., [http://www.classictvhits.com/tvratings/1984.htm 1984-1985 Ratings - ClassicTVhits.com] ] and Collins also went on to become the highest-paid actress on television at the time.fact|date=September 2008 She arguably became the most celebrated television star of the 1980s and her character, Alexis, perhaps the most infamous clotheshorse and villainess of the decade.fact|date=September 2008 Collins won many awards for this role, and "Dynasty" was shown in more than 80 countries and is still internationally syndicated.fact|date=September 2008

With "Dynasty" at the height of its success, Collins began producing and starred in two 1986 CBS miniseries, "Sins" and "Monte Carlo". She also appeared on the cover of and in a twelve-page layout shot by George Hurrell for "Playboy" magazine at the age of 49, and was often referred to as "the world's No.1 sex symbol" and "the most beautiful woman on Television."fact|date=September 2008

In the 2001 "E! True Hollywood Story" episode featuring "Dynasty", former ABC executive Ted Harbert stated, "The truth is we didn't really believe that we had this thing done as a hit until Joan Collins walked down that courtroom aisle." Co-star Al Corley noted that Collins "just flew" in the role that was "tailor made...just spot on."

"TV Guide" selected Collins' portrayal of Alexis as the fourth greatest villain in television history.Fact|date=August 2008

In "Dynasty" producer Aaron Spelling's final press interview he said of Collins: "We didn't write Joan Collins. She played Joan Collins. Am I right? We wrote a character, but the character could have been played by 50 people and 49 of them would have failed. She made it work."fact|date=September 2008

Later career

After the end of "Dynasty" in 1989, Collins took time off to be with her family.fact|date=September 2008 Over this period she made frequent guest star appearances on series such as "Roseanne", "The Nanny" and "Will & Grace" while dabbling in films like "Decadence" and "A Midwinter's Tale" in the mid 1990s.

In 1992, Collins made her Broadway debut in an adaptation of Noel Coward's "Private Lives". She also guest starred in six episodes of Aaron Spelling's prime time soap opera "Pacific Palisades" in 1997. Collins was chosen as the cover model for the relaunch of the popular celebrity magazine "OK!" when it changed from being a monthly to a weekly. In the late 1990s she appeared in several theatrical tours with the likes of George Hamilton and Stacey Keach. Additionally, she appeared in a West End production of "Over the Moon" with Frank Langella in 2000.

In 2002 Collins appeared in a limited run on the American daytime soap opera "Guiding Light". She also appeared on South African television, depicting the role of South African journalist Jani Allan in a comedic spoof. In 2004 she toured the United Kingdom with a revival of the play "Full Circle", and in 2005 she served as guest host of the popular British quiz show "Have I Got News For You".

In early 2006, Collins toured the United Kingdom in "A Evening With Joan Collins," a one-woman show in which she detailed the highs and lows of her roller coaster career and life, directed by her husband Percy Gibson. In late 2006 she began a tour of North America in the play "Legends!" with former "Dynasty" co-star Linda Evans, which concluded in May 2007 after a 30-week, multi-city tour. Collins wrote about her experience on the road with the show in her column in the U.K. "Daily Mail"; the article was entitled, "Why I'll Never Work With Linda Evans Again."

Collins joined the cast of the hit British television series "Footballer's Wives" for a limited run as a glamorous magazine mogul, named Eva de Wolffe. She also guest-starred in the BBC series "Hotel Babylon" in 2006 as a lonely aristocrat desperate for romance.

Personal life

Collins eventually divorced her first husband, Irish actor Maxwell Reed, in 1956. She next dated Sydney Chaplin, son of Charlie Chaplin, and later Arthur Loew, Jr. At 26, she embarked on a serious affair with an as-then-unknown Warren Beatty, four years her junior, which would last for two years. They became engaged, Collins being the only woman to whom Beatty would ever propose until Annette Bening in the early 1990s.

Collins walked away from her Hollywood contract and a successful career in the early 1960s to marry Anthony Newley, an award-winning singer, actor and film composer. She and Newley had two children, a daughter Tara and a son, Sacha.

In 1972 Collins married her third husband, Ron Kass, who had been the president of Apple Records during the reign of The Beatles. During their marriage Collins had her third and final child, a daughter, Katyana. In 1980 Katy was struck by a speeding car and went into a coma. Collins and her husband bought a trailer and parked it in the hospital parking lot in order to sit beside their daughter day and night. Katyana emerged from her coma a few months later, although it would take years for her to fully recover.

Collins' third marriage ended in divorce in 1983, although she and Kass remained very close until his death from cancer in 1986. In 1985, Collins married Swedish singer Peter Holm in a ceremony in Las Vegas. The marriage lasted a year and the divorce proceedings lasted just as long with a media circus ensuing. Collins left Los Angeles and returned to London where she lived with art dealer Robin Hurlstone for over a decade.

In 2001, Collins met theatrical company manager Percy Gibson, a man 32 years her junior. They married on February 17, 2002 at Claridge's Hotel in London.

Personal politics

After decades of flirting with British politics on May 24, 2004, Collins joined the United Kingdom Independence Party. [http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2971850] In October 2004, Collins stated she was not a supporter, but rather a patron of the party.fact|date=September 2008

In early 2005, Collins commented that she had rejoined the Conservative Party, stating, "The Labour Party doesn't care about the British people". [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3964151.stm BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Joan Collins: I don't support UKIP ] ]

She also continues to contribute as "The Spectator" Magazine Guest Diarist, something she has done since the late 1990s. Collins also writes occasionally for "The Daily Mail", "The Times, The Telegraph", and in the USA, "Harpers Bazaar". In September 2008 Collins signed on to the "Sunday Telegraph" as a weekly opinions columnist.

She has commented that she was a huge supporter of former prime minister, Margaret Thatcher. Collins is also a devout monarchist, remaining loyal to the British Royal Family.fact|date=September 2008

Charitable work

Collins has publicly supported several charities for several decades. In 1982 Collins spoke before the US Congress about increasing funding for neurological research. In 1983 she was named a patron of the International Foundation for Children with Learning Disabilities, earning the foundation's highest honour in 1988 for her continuing support. Additionally, 1988 also saw the opening of the Joan Collins Wing of the Children's Hospital of Michigan. In 1990 she was made an honorary founding member of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In 1994 Collins was awarded the lifetime achievement award from the Association of Breast Cancer Studies in Great Britain for her contribution to breast cancer awareness in the UK. In 2003 she became a patron of the Shooting Star Children's Hospice in Great Britain while continuing to support several foster children in India, something she has done for the past 25 years.

Homes

Although a US resident, with a condo in the popular Los Angeles highrise Sierra Towers, as well as a condo on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Collins still maintains British citizenship and owns a home in the fashionable neighborhood of Belgravia in London as well as a villa in La Croix Valmer, a small seaside village outside St. Tropez in the South of France.fact|date=September 2008

Books

Collins has also established herself as an author. In addition to her bestselling novels ("Prime Time", "Love & Desire & Hate", "Infamous", "Star Quality", "Misfortune's Daughters") she has written 5 lifestyle books ("The Joan Collins Beauty Book", "My Secrets", "My Friends' Secrets" and "Joan's Way: The Art of Living Well") and memoirs ("Past Imperfect", "Katy: A Fight for Life" and "Second Act").

In September 1991, Joan Collins delivered a 690-page manuscript to Random House. However, the publishing firm later demanded the return of its $1.3 million advance from Collins, claiming she failed to deliver completed books as per her contract. In court, Collins stated that Random House had received her novel, "The Ruling Passion", in 1991 plus another novel, "Hell Hath No Fury", in September 1992. She also contended that Random House had not provided the editorial assistance she had expected.fact|date=September 2008

Her Random House contract, negotiated by agent Irving Lazar, required that she was to be paid even if her completed manuscripts were not published. On February 29, 1996, a jury determined that she could keep the advance for the first novel, but the publisher did not have to pay for the second manuscript since it was a reworking of the first. Judge Ira Gammerman then ruled that Random House owed Collins $925,000 plus interest for a grand total of $1.3 million. Collins became a heroine to many writers who had been treated badly by their publishers.fact|date=September 2008

"The Guinness Book of World Records" cites Collins as holding the record for retaining the world's largest unreturned payment for an unpublished manuscript.
