Dame Joan Collins has admitted she misses the eighties when there was 'beautiful people, beautiful clothes' and plenty of 'greed'.
The actress, 88, who is known for sporting an array of shoulder pads as Alexis Colby in US soap Dynasty from 1981 to 1989, enjoyed the decade of excess which saw 1987 film Wall Street's ruthless and wealthy investor Gordon Gekko-types become part of the financial culture, with Dame Joan saying she was a fan of the character.
On Dynasty, she said according to the Mirror: 'It was the right show for the right time. It had beautiful people, beautiful clothes, beautiful sets, real flowers, real caviar, real anger behind the scenes from some of us.
'The 1980s was the "me" decade. The markets were trading bonds with the bravado of Gordon Gekko. And the stock market soared, obviously, and people were making a lot of money and investing it and living the good life.
'I don’t care what people say about it. I don’t care if they say it was all greed and Gordon Gekko. I loved Gordon Gekko and I miss it.'
