Dynasty star Stephanie Beacham has said she no longer feels safe in her cottage and has struggled to learn her lines after being threatened with a two-foot metal bar in a "terrifying" armed raid.
The 75-year-old actress, who starred alongside Dame Joan Collins in the hit 1980s series, was ordered to hand over her money and jewellery after confronting Scotsman David Wilson, 57, after he broke into her home in Bayswater, west London.
Wilson, described as a "habitual career burglar", was armed with a "jemmy" - a bar with a claw at the end - which he raised in a striking motion before telling Ms Beacham: "Don't look at me."
