I felt like many of his questions were kind of disrespectful and meant as barbs. But Joan handled them AMAZINGLY and calmly. She can give it right back, and do it without breaking a sweat. Love it!
ok folks, take note: this IS what a consummate professional fluidly answering sketchy questions looks like! there were several times, in just this 15 min clip alone, where Ms. Collins could have been justifiably offended at the implications of this interviewer's questions but she was not. she is the epitome of style, grace, wit & cleverness both then & now. well done Dame Collins!
She's told that date rape story a great many times over the years. She's talking about her first husband Maxwell Reed who died in the mid 70s. She told all about their sordid relationship in her various memoirs. The man sounds like a real monster and she was well shot of him when she divorced him after less than 4 years of marriage. What I love about Joan Collins is that she comes across as urbane and sophisticated and yet pretty open and honest at the same time. Dynasty was one of the few TV shows that was truly iconic -- it really seemed to embody the spirit of the 1980s like nothing else!
EN TODA LA HISTORIA DE MI VIDA, SOLO EXISTE UNA MUJER QUE ME HA PROVOCADO UNA EXQUISITA FASCINACION Y ADORACION POR SU PERSONA.........ELLA ES DAME JOAN COLLINS.....SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO
This was around the time she met that slimeball Peter Holm...🤢 I like what she said at the end. Kind of ironic, then 15 years later she meets her Prince Percy Gibson 🤴
A total Beauty..... always found her one of the most beautiful actresses. Love her British accent too and her sense of humor but....... there is one thing I do not like. Her brows #shape# does not do her beautiful face justice.
She's always been one of my favorites. Still, her recent confession that she'd been raped as a teenager didn't come across as being sincere as to what really happened. Rape is a felony. And is to be treated as such. Also, this business of "passing out" and waking as someone's doing the nasty is a little bit hard to believe. Maybe sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.
No! She was 16 and on a date with Maxwell Reed one of the biggest stars at Rank. She didn't even know what happened. He had given her a Mickey Finn. When she did realize what had taken place, she blamed herself- you have to read the book to understand her nativity regarding sex, her upbringing and the time period she was talking about. Today it would be considered as rape but at that time, she would have been blamed if she told anyone about it and she did blame herself. So she did what girls at that time did, she married him. Less than a year into the marriage she went back to mummy when Maxwell Reed tried to sell her off to an Arab sheik.
bonthego Sorry. Your post doesn't ring true. Too many possibilities for an effective cross examination to reveal the truth here. She was 16? What was a 16 year old doing in the company of an older, famous man? Look what happened in the Polanski case. I was distressed to read another favorite of mine, Esther Williams, claim that she, too, had been "raped" as a teenager. Could the truth of the matter incline more towards consensual sex? The narratives of all women are that they had "passed out" and "woke up" during the commission of the felony. Nah, something's missing in these narratives. Something like what really happened.
