Memba this? Joan Collins vs Charlotte Rae: Legends

“Who is this old cow?” LOL. I think Charlotte was starting to lose it at that point.

Link doesn't seem to work.

TV Guy · 09-08-2020, 05:11 PM

Just fixed it.

Impressions · 09-08-2020, 05:36 PM

I remember this

At this point, she was like Sophia from The Golden Girls, and had no filter. I have no idea what she said or did to Charlotte at this point, but I'd love to know more.

Also, who could also forgot her gaffe at The TV Land Awards in 2011, when she said "I'm so proud of my girls, they all turned out to be straight," which was kinda awkward, because I don't think she caught the double meaning (until after it was explained to her), and Geri Jewell, who is a lesbian, was standing nearby, just laughing it off.

80s Dude · 09-08-2020, 06:25 PM

It could be that Charlotte confused Joan Collins for Joan Rivers.

RetroGuy2000 · 09-08-2020, 08:19 PM

Charlotte said she later apologized.

We all know that when CHARLOTTE said her girls turned out to be straight she meant stable (unlike the DS kids).....

Straight also met not on drugs in Charlotte's day.

80s Dude · 09-08-2020, 09:31 PM

Charlotte had several lapses in memory or judgement in her later years. The Joan Collins comments, the "straight comments", the telling a total stranger that she bought Mindy a book on being the master of her domain when Mindy was younger.

Yes, I knew what she meant, but because of the context of the sentence, it sounded like she was proud to say that they all turned out to be heterosexual women. She meant to say that they all grew up all as sensible, well-rounded, up-standing, responsible (whatever synonym for that is) women. The word choice was just off. If it were the 1950s, it may have meant what she meant it to say, but since it was the 2000s, the connotation is completely different.

I got distracted by the old guy falling in the background first time I watched this. Wow, what happened? I watched it again and heard about her apology and wow, all I can say, is that was really classy and funny of her to send a note Joan for apologizing.

It looks like he lost his balance, but it might have been because of the support legs sticking out on that backdrop.

Yes, I totally agree. It would be so easy to keep a feud like that going, but Charlotte apologized. What a sense of humor!

TV Guy · 09-09-2020, 12:19 PM

That video is awesome for a multitude of reasons. Charlotte sure had a great sense of humor.

valentina warner · 09-09-2020, 02:35 PM

Ha ha ha that was our 'feisty red haired' alright!!! (JOAN COLLINS was shocked hee hee!)

*Man falls*

Charlotte Rae: I’m finishing this F$&@ing story.

That feud video is hilarious, but I think it was staged. Really, they brought the video to Joan Collins’ dressing room without letting her know what was on it?

You could be right. What was Charlotte's motivation for calling Joan Collins a bitch? We never found out.
