Joan Collins is undeniably a true icon, no matter how you measure size. As she celebrates her 90s, she realizes that her most glamorous and extravagant years are in the past. However, she continues to celebrate life and exude confidence in her own skin.
Many modern celebrities could take notes from Joan Collins on elegance, grace and self-expression. Her life story is simply remarkable and she remains an extraordinary woman. Born in Paddington, London, the actress is best known for her role as Alexis Carrington Colby in the hit soap opera Dynasty.
The show catapulted Joan to international fame, becoming the most-watched program in the United States in 1984. During that time, she earned $15,000 per episode and delighted some 21 million households each week as viewers tuned in to see her wild and cunning characters’ latest schemes.
“She was the first confident woman on television. I took a lot of heat for that. People said she was a ball-buster, so villainous, so ruthless! But I just stood up for myself as an independent woman!” Joan shared with CBS in 2019.
Notably, Collins is still active in the entertainment world, continuing her career nearly 70 years after her on-screen debut. According to Wikipedia, in 2022 she took part in two film projects, Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex, while another film, In Bed with the Duchess, is currently in production.
She also has a strong presence on social media. Last month, as much of the United States faced a bitter cold snap and violent storms, Joan Collins brought her own warmth and flair to the scene.
Tim Allen explains why he has never trusted anyone as much as his “Toy Story” co-star Tom Hanks.
Few actors and actresses are as well-known to the general public as Tim Allen for their appearances in television shows and films.
Even though the 69-year-old has held a significant position in Hollywood for many years, neither reviewers nor fans have had anything to say about him.
It should go without saying that he’s made his fair share of friends over the years; after all, with the number of individuals Tim has worked with, you’d think he’d have a who’s who of contacts in his phone book.
However, the man adds that there is one person in the entertainment sector in whom he has the most faith. It’s fitting that he was played by a man in one of the best children’s movies ever made.
During a visit to Kelly Clarkson’s show, Allen recently described his quick friendship with Tom Hanks.
“He and I disagree on so many issues. I admire that man’s heart and mind,” stated Allen of Hanks.
The A-list pair were spotted out and about recently, raising rumors that they are working on a new film.
“We’ve been going to lunch twice a year since Toy Story 1, and we’re like two older women because we sit almost too close at a booth,” Allen explained.
In fact, when filming Toy Story 1, Hanks was observed taking fries from his co-star’s plate.
Allen admitted that he had never experienced anything like it before, especially given that he had grown up in a household where it was not expected.
On his bond with Tom Hanks, who played Woody in the Toy Story film series to Allen’s Buzz Lightyear:
“And I don’t think I’ve ever trusted a human being as much as Tom to even listen to me, let alone listen to me.” We have significantly different perspectives on so many issues, but he’s convinced me that he’s a lovely and engaging person. He’s the first guy that pays attention to me and doesn’t pass judgment.”
I don’t know about you, but I am happy to see two such likable people form such close friendships. Despite spending so much time at the pinnacle of their careers, Hanks and Allen have generally avoided scandal.
That, in my opinion, speaks volumes about their moral character.
