“Dynasty” Diva Joan Collins: An ’80s Icon
Actress Joan Collins, who played Alexis Carrington, John Forsythe’s vindictive ex wife on “Dynasty,” helped to set the bar when it came to malicious scheming, cat-fighting and starting fashion trends.
Today, Collins continues to challenge herself with writing books and columns, as well as roles on television and the big screen.
The legendary 75-year-old actress sat down with Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith to chat about her iconic status during the ’80s and dish on her secret to looking youthful.
“It seems like a lifetime ago. Really, so much water has gone under the bridge, I’ve done so much. At the same time, when I see those pictures, it doesn’t seem like it was so long ago at all. Except, I don’t remember any of the clothes. I don’t remember any of those things. Did I really wear that? Would I have actually been persuaded to put on that thing?” Collins said.
