What Is So Great About Joan Collins?

I’ve never understood the appeal of Joan Collins, why she’s so famous, and why she deserved a Damehood. Last night’s BBC docu only confirmed for me she’s not a great actress and has never been in anything great - in fact she’s been in a lot of what I’d consider trash - though I appreciate plenty of people loved Dynasty. I personally have never thought her physically particularly attractive. She’s on her fifth marriage, which I’m not sure is something to be proud of. Okay, so she can come up with the occasional witticism, but that doesn’t make her worthy of reverence in my book. So I’ll be interested to now see cases for the defence

i have never thought of her as beautiful or talented in any way. I don't know how she got so far up the ladder of fame...

I think she's great. She has starred in many films in her early career but became a household name playing the iconic Alexis Colby. I loved Dynasty and was allowed to watch it even though I was very young at the time.

Is she a great actress? No, not really (although as previously stated, her Star Trek appearance, City on the Edge of Forever, is superb), but since when has being a great actor been a requisite for a gong? All you have to do is be successful and live long enough.

I quite like her. I like her views on life and politics as well. That's not a wig that she wears though - honest.

She freely admits to wearing wigs.

I do like her. She is a star and a celebrity in the proper sense of the words. Very beautiful in her youth, and still looking amazing now.

I loved her in Dynasty even though I wasn’t watching it for the acting, none of the other actors was much good really.

I wonder what she looks like without the makeup, wigs etc.
