She's 88, just seen her on my newsfeed

She is absolutely amazing. In the same mould as Dolly Parton. I don't care if its wigs and surgery and money, she is amazing.

I like her too. She is apparently nice to any staff and cabin crew , which is always good to read.
I've never met her , but she seems good fun.

ssd · 08/09/2021 21:34

I can imagine she treats people well.

She really does I agree!

I’ve bumped into her at Bergdorf’s children’s dept few years ago. She was lovely and spoke to me when she saw me looking at her.
She was tiny and very very slim. Very well dressed. Hair maybe a wig. Her husband looked like a bit awkward and dare I say, he even looked older than her.
Still a fan because she was so nice to me and she still had it. She was well into her 80’s.

Hopdathelf · 08/09/2021 21:46

I like that she always looks like she’s having fun.

She just screams class to me.

Remember the adverts with Leonard Rossiter? She is quite fabulous

Love Dame Joan.

Absolute class and an old school lady from head to toe.

Every interview I’ve ever seen with her, she has been hilarious. I bet she is great value on a night out.
The stories she could tell of ‘old’ Hollywood.

She was an absolute trailblazer for equal pay for women in her shows/ productions.

ssd · 08/09/2021 22:06

Yes, she seems the sort of woman to always champion other women.

She is class to her fingertips.

There's a YouTube of her in the 1980s getting ready to go out, putting on her slap. It is ADORABLE. I'll try to find it. Back in a bit!

That's not what I've heard.

I’ve met her quite a few times, we have a mutual friend / business partner.
I even got to haul through her accessories as we were looking into developing a range for her, one of the best things she told me was that she invests in a really good quality jackets, normally 1 per year and then most of her other accessories like bags and jewellery are all costume jewellery and actually not that expensive!
Exquisite taste though and a way of putting everything together to look effortlessly glam!

She wears wigs and is well known for it. Her own hair is thin. There is/was a Hollywood make-up artist who help her design her own look - the same guy worked other actresses of a similar era. Can't remember his name.

Was it Phillip Kingsley?

I like her purely for her comment when asked if she worried at all about the age gap between her and Percy.

She shrugged and said ' well, if he dies, he dies' 🤷‍♀️

JacquelineCarlyle · 08/09/2021 23:17

Thanks for sharing that video @FlibbertyGiblets - she is sublime!

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 08/09/2021 23:27

I met her about 6 years ago. Her face was amazing - smooth but not in a Botox way. I've never seen anything quite like it. The very smooth head was on top of a normal body for her age - nothing wrong with being older, of course, but the head and body didn't match.

I think she's absolutely awesome, but I can't honestly say she looked good, because the effect as a whole was some incongruent. But I hugely admire her for doing things her way.

That was absolute perfection. Such wit.
sandgrown · 08/09/2021 23:32

She was interviewed recently by Piers Morgan and gave him a run for his money!

DartmoorChef · 08/09/2021 23:33

I seem to remember reading that she never ever lets her face get sun on it to avoid wrinkles. She looks fantastic for her age and is always classy.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 08/09/2021 23:48

She is simply fabulous, ‘The world according to Joan’ is a great read.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 09/09/2021 00:04

She nicked it from Bruce Forsyth, but it's a great line that deserves to be recycled.

Clarissa111 · 09/09/2021 00:06

I saw her being interviewed. She said big hats and sun cream has helped her keep her looks. There may be some surgery there, but if so it looks natural. She's aged like a fine wine.
