Actor Dame Joan Collins has shared holiday snaps with her hundreds of thousands of fans on Instagram as she soaks up the sun in St Tropez with her husband. The actor, 89, took to Instagram to share a photo of herself and her husband, 56, soaking up the sun in France as they relaxed outdoors by a pool.
She wrote: "When it's 100 degrees in the shade I am grateful to have a pool." Holly Willoughby was among those who liked the selfie of Joan and husband Percy, reports The Mirror.
Fans took to the comments to compliment the author, with one follower responding: "Looking fabulous Joan." Another wrote: "Queen Joan Collins looks stunning."
"You are fabulous," said a third, while another wrote: "Wow look at you two. So so lovely. Such an amazing picture darling."
Another said: "This may be the cutest thing I've seen all week." Others described the photo as "fabulous" and "lovely," with another commenting: "Gorgeous couple."
The actor and author recently narrated This Is Joan Collins, a new feature-length documentary on her life on BBC Two. The film, described as being “told from the ringside”, sees Dame Joan look through her “own rollercoaster seven decades in showbiz – with her inimitable wit and verve”, the BBC said.
Dame Joan told BBC Breakfast that scrapbooks from her career had been “kept religiously by my grandmother and then by my sister Jackie, and then by other people, and sometimes by me”.
She said: “And posted in it were a lot of very, very nasty, vicious, mean, spiteful things from reviewers. And I said I’d rather not have those in because I’m a very positive person and I just always look on the bright side and so I didn’t want those in the documentary.
“I just didn’t think there was any point, you know; people can draw their own conclusions. You know, if they don’t like it, or they don’t like me, that’s fine. You can switch off.
“But I didn’t necessarily want horrible, bitchy remarks.”
Dame Joan became a household name starring as Alexis Carrington Colby in US soap opera Dynasty, which was a Saturday night staple on BBC One in the 1980s. The role brought her critical acclaim and earned her a Golden Globe Award for best actress in 1982 and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 1984.
Her career has spanned the small and big screen, including recent roles in films like The Loss Adjuster.
Her more recent TV appearances include a recurring part in ITV comedy Benidorm, and she also starred in Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse.
