Lady Joan Collins, look at her current picture you should not guess that she is 87 years old this year.
Almost 90 years old people, appearance, temperament or superb, from childhood to old is a big beauty,
Many people may not know who she is now, but decades ago, Collins was definitely a household name, and was repeatedly named "the most beautiful woman in Britain".
The titles of "the most beautiful woman in the world" and "the sexiest woman in the world" were also taken by her.
Emerald eyes are simply fascinating,
And young people to shoot beauty blockbusters are not lost at all,
This is when I was 86 years old
Even if there are wrinkles on her face, she is still elegant, as if the pig-killing knife of time has not been fiercely handed down on her, a veritable "goddess of frozen age".
She is a Hollywood legend, from a small star all the way to the world stage, her career is booming. But her love is not satisfactory, she has had 5 marriages, rape before marriage, husband wants to sell her to others for money to spend the night... The ex-husbands' various deceptive behaviors made Collins' heart hurt and hurt...
Collins was born in London, England in 1933. Mom is a dance teacher and Dad is a successful agent. She is the eldest daughter and has a younger sister Jackie and younger brother Bill.
When Collins was a baby, her beauty could not be hidden, and some enthusiastic adults could not help but want to kiss her twice when they saw the cuteness, so much so that her mother hung a sign on the stroller and warned the people: Don't kiss.
Collins and Mother
Because she has a father who is an agent, Collins's home is always crowded with singers, actors and comedians, and she has made up her mind at a very young age that she will become a star in the future, and she feels that she is destined to enter the entertainment industry.
But his father was adamantly opposed to her entering the circle, fearing that Collins would become "vulgar and ordinary" like most people there, and that he would only hope that his daughter would find a good husband in the future.
But despite his daughter's desire for the entertainment industry, his father finally compromised, and Collins himself was also very competitive, and at the age of 9, he was selected to perform Ibsen's "Doll's House" at the London Arts Theatre.
She trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London at the age of 16 and was signed by the British film studio the following year. After that, she officially embarked on the road to fame and began her acting career.

She has run dragon suits, played maids, and worked as a gangster mistress in movies, with a variety of styles. The role of juvenile delinquents in the movie "I Believe in You" made the 19-year-old taste of being a star for the first time, and some media directly named Collins to praise her excellent acting skills, and because the image of "prisoners" was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, she was called "Bad Girl in Britain".
Soon after, she came to Hollywood with a dream of stardom. Everything there seemed very charming in Collins's eyes, she knew Marilyn Monroe, and talked to Marlon Brando, which seemed incredible to many people, but collins at that time already had a very professional attitude, and she felt that this was the work of an actress.
Over the next few decades, she made frequent television appearances and became a regular in Hollywood, driving an iconic pink Thunderbird car.
She portrayed a variety of roles, and at the age of 21 was selected by Howard Hawks, who was known as "America's greatest director" ("Scarface") to star in his film, although this work was not a great success, Collins's performance was appreciated by the president of 20th Century Fox at the time, and signed a contract with her for up to 7 years.
Starring in "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing" also won her a lot of attention, it is said that this role was originally designed for Marilyn Monroe, but because Monroe and the production company had a little dispute, collins just "picked up leaks", but it turned out that she acted very successfully, and the simple girl image that was repeatedly swayed by men was vividly expressed.
"Nikko Island", in which she participated, was a global success, grossing a total of $5.55 million, the sixth highest place that year.
Although she performed on stage at the age of 9, had a box office hit, and her acting skills were praised, many netizens still only felt that she was a low-end version of Elizabeth Taylor, and there was nothing to see. Even now there are keyboard warriors to step on.
Elizabeth Taylor = Classic
Joan Collins = Junk
It wasn't until the soap opera "The Grudge of the Giants" in the 80s that her acting career entered its heyday.
On the far right is Collins
She plays Alexis Colby, an evil, vengeful ex-wife. When she joined the series, the response to the series was average, but when she appeared with a thick black wavy curl, the show's ratings skyrocketed. Even the show's producers said it was Collins who reinvigorated ratings.
The role took her career to the fore, and the 48-year-old Collins caught fire. To what extent is the fire? More than 20 years after the episode aired, someone will recognize her as the evil ex-wife inside on the street, which also shows that her appearance has not changed much in more than 20 years (sour)
She was a well-known "bad woman" at the time, and for this role, she was nominated for a Golden Globe six times, and finally won the award in 1983.
She's beautiful, sexy, and at 50 years old, she's still giving Playboy the cover, proving that a woman can be attractive at any age.
On screen, she performed on Broadway, writing books, beauty books, and full pages of novels depicting murder, and her memoir Past Imperfect, published in 1985, directly exposed her private life and interrogation.
It was then that everyone discovered that Collins' life behind the scenes was as dramatic as her role.
Collins had a total of 5 marriages, but the first 4 were mostly unhappy. She looked back and found that the previous four husbands had criticized her and insulted her too many times...
You may not believe it, she married her first husband Maxwell Reed when she was 19 years old, and behind this marriage is her sad past that she has hidden for many years.
Maxwell Reed
The first husband, Reed, was also a movie actor, and this man could be said to be an extreme control freak, and if a man walking down the street looked at Collins more, he would threaten to "cut off that beautiful little face so that no one will ever look at you again."
They met through the introduction of Reed, a movie star whom Collins had sworn to marry, 14 years apart. Fans love idols deeply, and at the age of 17, she didn't understand it, desperate to go on a date, but she didn't expect it to go wrong.
Reed raped Collins, he showed her pornographic books, drugged her, tore off her clothes while she was unconscious, and that's what happened.
Later, Collins tried to erase the incident from his mind, and out of shame, he did not dare to tell his parents and friends that he wanted to cut the relationship back on track, so he continued to date, but their sex life was not very harmonious. Her mother told her that women could only endure, so Collins gritted his teeth and endured.
The relationship progresses to marriage, and Collins realizes that she doesn't really want to marry Reed. But her parents tried to dissuade her.
"What will people think?" The mother screamed in horror.
"I can never show my face in London's West End again!" Agent Dad said.
So Collins put up with it again, and married the man she wanted to marry before, the man who raped her. But an even more absurd scene is yet to come.
In the memoir mentioned above, Collins also said that Reed had attempted to sell her to an Arab sheikh for the night. The chief started a deal with the couple in a nightclub: £10,000 for Collins' chance to sleep with him.
In this case, don't say it's a husband, even an ordinary person should be very angry. But Reed didn't want to take this opportunity to develop his career, and he discussed with Collins: "With the ten thousand yuan he paid us, we can go to Hollywood, baby, buy a new car, and show our fists!" ”
They eventually divorced in 1956, and looking back on the marriage, Collins regretted it too much, thinking he was stupid enough to marry a man who attacked her.
But her path to love did not become smooth because of this lesson.
After the divorce, she fell in love with Warren Beatty. When the two were together, the man was 22 years old, just an unknown little actor.
The name Warren Beatty may not be familiar, but when it comes to the 89th Oscars mistakenly awarding "Best Picture" to the grandfather of "Philharmonic City", are you a little impressed?
He is the male protagonist of "The Male and Female Thief", known as the "Hollywood Stallion", saying that he has slept with 12775 women, anyway, it is not a fuel-saving lamp.....
Back to the point, when he first started with Collins, he did his best as a little dog. When Collins went out to film, he bombarded Collins with telegrams, phones, and letters to express his longing for him, always saying that he did not want to leave her. But at the same time, rumors about him and other actresses also spread all over the sky,
In their 18 months together, Beatty went from being an obscure person to a hot rising star. They got engaged in 1960, but the more famous Beatty became, the more gossip they had, and it wasn't long before they broke up.
She then married actor and singer Anthony Newley, who married and had two children with him, even though Collins knew he liked very young girls. During their seven years of marriage, Collins didn't work much and preferred to stay home with the kids.
It wasn't until she watched her husband's infamous pornographic autobiographical film that the marriage was over. In the film, she sees her husband almost naked, doing multi-person sports with a group of women, she realizes that this is not all performance, and her heart is like being stabbed.
The film makes Newley's preference for young girls a little more dramatic. Looking at all this, Collins could no longer stand his marriage and divorced.
She then accepted the marriage proposal of the businessman Ron Kass, and for the first few years she was quite happy and gave birth to a lovely daughter, but Kass gradually became addicted to drugs and squandered all the money, and could not even afford to buy things for children. After being in debt, the marriage was destroyed.
2 years later, she married singer Peter Holm, but the relationship didn't last long. When they first started dating, Peter quickly realized that Collins's financial situation was problematic, even though she was already a big star in "The Big Man", earning $40,000 a week, but because she had 3 children to raise and had to pay off debts with her ex-husband, the money was basically not retained.
So Peter began to offer some financial advice, and eventually he was allowed to handle Collins' business, and in return she gave him 20% of her income.
Collins then resists Peter's frantic courtship and chooses to marry him. After getting married, Collins worked harder than ever, without thinking much about what Peter was doing during the day. But she did notice that some of the clothes in the closet had been moved or even worn, so she began to suspect that her husband had taken the woman home.
After confronting him, Collins was only ridiculed: you are too suspicious.
Until one day, Collins came home from work early and caught the adulteress directly in bed. She exploded and asked Peter how he could do this to her, and the scumbag laughed and said, I'm just acting.
In short, the marriage has a bad ending, and Collins's heart poked by love has been overshadowed. For the next 15 years, she stopped getting married and closed her heart until she met her current husband, Percy Gibson.
Collins' current husband, Percy Gibson, is a theater manager 32 years younger than her. They met at a signing party in 2000, when nothing happened between them, just friends, but love happened naturally.

Collins was a little worried at first, but those worries didn't last long. Because Percy gives Collins a different feeling, they will watch "Breaking Bad" together at night, with the same outlook on life, making her feel like she has found a soul mate.
They married in 2002 and are now approaching their 19th wedding anniversary, which Collins says was her "happiest and last" marriage.
They'll go shopping arm in arm,
Caught showing love,
Looks really happy,
Some people may ask, why is she scumed again and again, but still have to enter the wedding hall? Everyone's view of love is different, maybe someone can be free from now on, maybe someone has always had the desire to settle down, to find the harbor where they can dock.
For Collins, she has always believed in marriage, she feels that it is like a beautiful promise, she wants to get this beauty, so she has been on the road to seeking true love. And Percy may be the marriage commitment she has been looking for for years.
Collins has come all the way, from a child who dreamed of stardom to a top actress who was 48 years old, and now her beauty is still the same, and her performance is fixed on the screen, which is already a legend.
She was blinded by feelings, loved, stupid, hurt, and finally found a man worthy of trust, and the love between the two was still strong.
I hope that the relationship of the "Goddess of Frozen Age" must be long-lasting!
