The celebrated actress, author and screenwriter Dame Joan Collins boasts an incredible career which spans back as far as seven decades. Making her stage debut at the young age of 9 in the Henrik Ibsen play A Doll’s House, it was clear that Joan was destined to entertain. This was proven to be true when she had her big break in the controversial 1952 film I Believe in You, where her role as a juvenile delinquent gave her the nickname “Britain’s bad girl”, a label which stayed with her for the rest of her career.
One of her most well-known and successful “bad girl” roles was Alexis Colby in the 80's American soap opera Dynasty, which not only made her a star on an international level, but also won her a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination.
Her new book, My Unapologetic Diaries, sees her most secret diary entries from the years 1986-2006 all transcribed and put down on the page. Starting just as Dynasty came to an end, her words reveal her honest fears about obtaining future roles, celebrity gossip from a host of glamorous parties from LA to St Tropez and run-ins with some of the most famous names, including Boris Johnson and Donald Trump way before they came to power.
