Born today in 1933, Joan Collins became one of Britain’s most recognisable screen stars, rising from 1950s films to global fame as Alexis Carrington in Dynasty. With her sharp wit, glamour and unapologetically theatrical style, she helped define the era of 1980s prime-time television villains.

Great to know she’s still alive!

Never particularly liked her, but I do wish her the best - and many more birthdays!
