Joan is an extremely lovely woman -- here is a screenshot from one of her '70s appearances on Match Game that I'd posted in the game show forum. I find her look gorgeous:

Joan also wrote a number of bestselling memoirs as well as pot-boiler novels. None as successful as those of her sister, Jackie Collins (Hollywood Wives, Lucky), who was one of the world's bestselling authors, selling more than 500 million books. The two were both gorgeous, and when Jackie passed away of breast cancer in 2015, Joan was absolutely devastated...
