6 years ago

In a dictionary’s listing of “good genes,” you’ll find a picture of Joan Collins. Whether it’s a current picture of her in her 80’s, or an earlier one when she starred in The Bitch, there’s no denying it: This dame looks damn good.

After taking on a variety of random TV and movie roles, Collins’ star took a turn for the better in 1981, when she was cast as Alexis Carrington, the vengeful ex-wife of business titan Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) in Dynasty, a role turned down by Sophia Loren.
