Dame Joan Collins is turning 84 today. She began acting in film in her late teens, appearing in a number of English films before Howard Hawks brought her to Hollywood to star in Land of the Pharaohs. She kept busy for the next seven years or so, appearing in films such as Seven Thieves and the last of the Hope/Crosby “Road” pictures, The Road to Hong Kong. After taking a few years off in the early sixties, she began working regularly on television, making a memorable guest appearance on Star Trek as Edith Keeler in the episode “City on the Edge of Forever.”
In the late seventies, Collins film roles included starring as Fontaine Khaled in two adaptations of novels written by her younger sister, novelist Jackie Collins. While the films were critically panned, they were commercially successful and brought her to the attention of Richard and Esther Shapiro, who were creating a prime-time soap opera that gave Collins her most famous role. She was a six-time Golden Globe nominee, winning once, in the role of Alexis Carrington on Dynasty.
