Dame Joan Collins, 92, is our Pin-Up of the Week.
Joan Collins is the last of the great Hollywood actresses, from the golden age of the silver screen. She was in her first film, Lady Godiva Rides Again (1951), a staggering 74 years ago. In her next film, The Bitter End, she plays the Duchess of Windsor.
And, in between, what triumphs - from Alexis Colby in Dynasty to starring in The Stud (1978), based on her sister Jackie's blockbuster. Read here Gyles Brandreth's tribute to the great dame.
We salute you, Joan!
