The Originals #8 Joan Collins

Think you know Joan Collins? If your knowledge begins and ends with her triumphant run as Alexis Carrington on Dynasty in the Eighties, darling, you would be so very wrong. Dame Joan happens to have had a SEVEN decade career on film and TV and the kind of personal life that seems ripped from the novels of her late sister, Jackie. She married her rapist, got engaged to Warren Beatty, fought off a throng of horndog studio executives, was picketed by her Swedish pop star husband, and finally settled down with a very nice fella 32 years her junior. WARNING: this episode features a very uncomfortable host suffering from a severe case of the flop sweats.
