Collins, Joan

Beschreibung

Signed "Joan Collins" in blue ink. Beautiful 8" X 10" color photograph in FINE condition. This signature was obtained in person in January 1995 at the Barnes and Noble Bookstore in Burbank, California, USA. Actress Joan Henrietta Collins was born on May 23, 1933, in London, England. She is the eldest child of Elsa Bessant Collins, a former nightclub hostess, and Joseph William Collins, a successful talent agent whose clients included Tom Jones and the Beatles. Her British-born Anglican mother and South African-born Jewish father had two more children together: Jackie (a successful novelist whose books have sold more than 400 million copies) in 1937, and Bill in 1946. Joan Collins was so pretty as a baby, that her mother hung a sign on her stroller warning over-eager well-wishers, "Do Not Kiss." During World War II, the Collins family hunkered down in Tube stations with other Londoners while German bombs rained down on the city. Collins's mother died in 1962. Her father remarried, and had another daughter 35 years younger than Joan. Joan Collins moved to Hollywood in the 1950s with dreams of becoming a star. She landed her first film role, as an uncredited beauty pageant contestant, in the 1951 movie Lady Godiva Rides Again. For the next three decades, she punctuated a series of B-movie roles with frequent television appearances and pin-up shoots. She became a Hollywood fixture, driving a signature pink Thunderbird and racking up high-profile liaisons with leading men including Dennis Hopper, Harry Belafonte and Warren Beatty. She appeared in The Stud and The Bitch, both wildly popular film adaptations of her sister Jackie's novels. In 1978, she published her first memoir, Past Imperfect, a lascivious account of her affairs. It became a bestseller. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002669
