Louis Theroux interview with Joan Collins

[susiedaisy1912]

Anyone else watching. She looks great for 90 and still so sharp of mind.

Clearly had lots of surgery but she does still look like her.

She's right about men her age being too old for her.

I'm obviously very naive but I didn't realise she'd had surgery? Must be quite subtle then?

She does look unbelievable for 90. And so switched on, and steady on her feet. Guessing a combination of good lifestyle and good genes.

I was intrigued by that clip of her in The Stud so I looked up a few more clips - wow what a body she had back in the day.

I've read that she once said that she always stops eating while she is still hungry....I think about that tip often but it's easier said than done

I think facelifts rather than fillers etc. So she's just being pulled tighter every few years. In the shots when out shopping at the market, she looked much more like her age. And seemed frailer walking about. Loved that she actually recommended a dress from the market for Louis's wife.

I love her and don't mind her total denial of any surgery for all these years.
She can say - or not say whatever she likes.
She's still as sharp as a Tack isn't she?
Wonder if she still has the odd ciggie? 😀

She seemed to genuinely refute how wealthy she was when LT said google says she's worth 20-30m.

But she, surely, can't be far off that?

She certainly does not need to work for financial reasons, as she seemed to be saying. But fair enough, her finances are nobodies business.

She seems like she has a very nice life / lifestyle.

She's absolutely fabulous dahling. Really enjoyed the interview. Very sensible to get herself a younger man. My nan always used to advise me "better to be a young man's darling than an old man's nurse maid "

Didn't see it but I love her

Seem to be in the minority but I don't like her. I think she was at best average actress, cast in a lot of stuff written by her sister and always seems to have something unpleasant to say about other women.

I think she’s marvellous. Liked her sister too.

Not sure. She wasn't a big movie star though a decent jobbing actor. Dynasty was her big pay check but she claims she didn't get as much as John Forysth who played Blake Carrington. And being 90, she's had to make that go a long way. I'd like it if she were minted. I mean, it's all relative but she's likely spent what she's got on her fab houses.

Yeah, I can believe she's not as wealthy as you might think. I don't think I like her - definitely some old-fashioned views. But she is remarkably well preserved.

Im only 10 mins in but I love her

She's fabulous

A massive ego and she totally owns it

She's 90! The only 90 year olds i have met are doddery

She's not a great actress. That's true

I've always envied her looks and I'm 43 to her 90.Shes brilliant.

I saw her in Benidorm (the show) and she looked amazing, she's literally the only person I've seen who has had good plastic surgery.
She has had a lot.
Weird to deny that and her wealth. I wish she was honest so we could know how she has achieved that look, just for curiosity sake.

I doubt she's that wealthy - £10-20m I could believe but in her circles that's got to be on the lower end. Her lifestyle is expensive and what has she done really in the last 20- 30 years? Written a few books, the odd TV appearance/series. She made about $15k per episode for Dynasty - not like the $100k plus the cast of Friends made!
And she's never pretended to be anything other than a starlet who has had longevity. She epitomises the glamour of her era though - always full make up and designer dresses - you don't see any candid pics of her in joggers mooching around the supermarket!

I really enjoyed watching this, she is a diva but she owns it.

I really enjoyed it too. She seems to have a great sense of humour. My claim to fame is that I have a letter from Joan Collins (I used to work for her UK literary agent) and I treasure it.

Louis was a terrible flirt throughout!

I met her about 10 years ago. She had an incredibly smooth, mask-like face, which really intrigued me. It wasn't at all like what you usually see on people who have had too much or recent plastic surgery. I don't know a lot about stage make up, but I wondered if she was actually wearing a mask of some sort over her own features. I just can't imagine how she could have had it that smooth otherwise.

Whatever she is doing, it works, so fair play to her.

This is it.. she looks so good yet has never looked plastic, when everyone else does? She's older too so you'd think she'd look even more fake. How is it possible.

I loved her comment 'If he dies, he dies' after she married Percy Gibson when people were commenting on the 32yr age gap!

Yes this was very good. She is so smart and articulate - could listen to her for hours. Can imagine she does find people her own age boring. She likes Louie! He's good with her.

I really love her and have seen her stage show - an audience with Joan Collins. She is very funny and has so many stories to tell. I think she is a real character and she looks incredible for 90. I really like Percy too, he seems so nice. I read her first book which I think was called Past Imperfection, maybe wrong about that and that was entertaining read. One of her beauty tips and something I've adopted (to some extent!) is about not exposing yourself to the sun - she always wears make-up and a sun hat and doesn't sun bathe - I think that is good advice. DH and I were talking about her money and we reckon because she has such a lavish lifestyle & the up keep of her homes she probably needs to keep earning. I don't think she is mega rich but the 3 homes in LA, London and The French Riviera must be worth £20+ million alone so I would be surprised if LT's Google estimate is far off.
