This is Joan Coll8ns

[Joolsin]

Did anyone see this, was on BBC2. I really liked her - she is smart, intelligent and really witty. Has had a rollercoaster of a life. I loved how well she stood up for herself when faced with sexist dinosaurs of chat show hosts in the 70s and 80s - she told them what's what, but with beautiful manners!! What a woman.

Oops, just realised I misspelled her name in the title - Joan Collins, of course.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've just watched most of it , really enjoyed it. IPlayer malfunctioned, I'll finish it tomorrow. She's certainly a survivor.

Awesome woman. Funny, witty, kickass and a survivor. And impossibly glam of course.

Watched by accident really enjoyed. Fascinating the way her life had such ups and downs - superstar when young then actually quite broke then superstar again. Some of her husbands were dreadful though - rapists and thieves.

i really loved it. i love that sort of programme. plot free and lots of glitter.
there are so many joan collins things though at the moment - her book, piers morgan programme, that programme. it seems like all of her eulogies at once (to me)

Was really interesting especially when she went to Hollywood. She has been in some shockers but always plays well. I remember one film where she was killed by a Tree . Still she is encouraging me to embrace glam a bit more.

Yes she is so easy to listen to. Never boring. Really enjoyed this.

Really enjoyed this. What a life! Such a beautiful woman. I didn’t know she had three children.

Some shocking husbands. Actual rapists and crooks. Wow. She’s a strong woman.

I really enjoyed watching it. Would thoroughly recommend watching another BBC documentary about her sister, Jackie Collins.

I watched it too. She’s an old school Hollywood star - one of the last left (or maybe the only one?). Oozes glamour! I also saw the Jackie documentary one too which was also really interesting - and sad, she didn’t tell Joan or anyone she was dying.

I got the decided impression, from watching the Jackie Collins documentary, that the sisters were like chalk and cheese.

Is the Jackie Collins documentary on iplayer?

It certainly was last weekend @DobbyTheHouseElk!

Ooh thank you.

It was very poignant, particularly when her three daughters were interviewed .

Really enjoyed it

It was excellent. Joan gives good eye roll.
