Can you believe this woman is 90 years old!! Looks very good and has a lot of energy for her age. Incredible.

@@Ksvtjhyb7 Did she get her energy and mental acuity from botox and surgeries as well? SMH. Give credit where credit is due. This woman has done a very good job of taking care of herself.

[@PricklePrice]

She stood up for herself & other women to say “no, not going to be used as a plaything”

[@hayalistanbul5418]

We can't be sure about that...

[@ilovemovies725]

​@@hayalistanbul5418well her so so career at the time testifies to that. The early promise wasn't fulfilled and probably because she didn't bow down to that sort of shenanigans. She really had to wait until Dynasty to really blossom and that was TV...She's the first one to admit that an actor can only do so much...

[@Rick1959]

A GENUINE class act!! Good to know she had the courage to standup to these cretins.....Absolutely 100% respect for her...

[@mogadon7]

Thought was gonna be crap...was really good. Louis like Alan Wicker charms them, rather than patronising or pissing them off... L E A R N - other presenters, LEARN.

[@eyebrowman1]

Good for you Joan!

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Joan looked the part but didn’t play the game and so her Hollywood career was fits and starts and the best movies and directors eluded her. She was always a star and then came into her own in the 1980s when she had her revenge on the biggest television series in the world.

[@hollingbourne]

Lovely Joan... undoubtedly a wonderful actress and National Treasure ...her straightforward honesty is so inspiring.

[@josephdirvin401]

Good for her! Zanuck’s name is forever associated with nasty and unmanly behaviors.

[@NemesisTheInevitable]

What for? He is dead now. And for ages... I don't know... It's a bit useless and he is not around to defend himself. Probably he was a nasty man, I'm not saying otherwise, but he is dead now. Let's talk about the ones who are still alive and can pay for their crimes.

[@gracebose2538]

I love her to bits. Her character in Dynasty is electrifying. You've aged gracefully our dear dear Dame Joan Collins. God bless.

[@sugarberries1972]

I agree. Nobody else could have played Alexis the way she did, a bit evil yet absolutely alluring. Not to mention so elegant and beautiful. 🥰

[@susanb2015]

I am old fashioned too. I respect her for not sleeping with them even though she only made B movies because of it.

[@lewis7515]

I went looking for pictures of her in her 20's, to clarify what the Hollywood predators were looking at. After that, I really appreciated what she must have to tolerate, because she looked incredible. No wonder Marilyn gave her a heads-up.

[@strikeleather6503]

Joan really was stunning. I think she was as beautiful as Ava Gardner and more beautiful than Liz Taylor.

[@sarahholland2600]

Her one off appearance on StarTrek is generally regarded by Trekkies as one of the most popular episodes ever. Also, in the 80's show Dynasty, where she was In her 40's, she was a fabulous , sexy, scheming ex , who got all the gorgeous guys. And her fashion was to die for.

[@Mary-lb3lv]

Who believes her claims of never ever having any plastic surgery? She has had a ton of cosmetic work on her once gummy smile and teeth alone. I can see that she has had an upper and lower eye lift along with a neck and cheek lift. She should just be honest and not lie about it.

[@vir4193]

The brow lift is pretty obvious

[@lol365]

It was a great interview - Louis and Joan dazzled each other.

[@alexnightray3204]

Such a classy and badass woman! We need more women like her :D

[@stevencortiella7609]

She was tough she was beautiful and she didn't put up with pathetic men

[@chrissyk3783]

There is is still a twinkle of attractive beauty physically. When i analyze her physically it is her eyes thst are pulling it off. Shes always had unusual striking eyes. Ive seen woman with beautiful eyes when they were younger but when they grow older they all loose that. Joans eyes are spaced apart a good distance with a beatifil shape. Shes the only 90 year old ive seen with that attractive sparkle and ive met hundreds and have seen thousands

[@christinevega9238]

I agree with her ❤❤ she is AWESOME!!!!!

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

Ugh... how many times do we have to do this? "Toxic Masculinity - Oh so now masculinity is bad?!" is like saying "Toxic Mushrooms - Oh so now mushrooms are bad?!" Its not the thing thats bad, its a type of the thing thats bad and how/why. This isn't difficult and actually, I think such a nuance is delibrately lost and gee, I wonder by whom, and why...

[@crystalfire5564]

I like your comparison.

[@tisFrancesfault]

Toxic masculinity is, imo, an Ironic exhibition of boyish insecurity, and an over exhibition of "masculine quality" as is sold now, would have been rather derided.

[@Denis-89]

No, no one is saying masculinity is bad. They are saying that the particular type of masculinity is bad. No one is saying holding the door up for a woman is bad. They are saying comments and asking you sleep with the director is bad

[@aalliaandreadis5109]

Yeah the counterfeit type is bad and true masculinity is not only great but much needed ​@@Denis-89

[@foreignparticle1320]

I think the problem with the qualifier "toxic" is that its meaning is subjective in this context. Toxic mushrooms are measurably toxic, but what one person defines as "toxic masculinity" may be to another person "fortitude", "single-mindedness" or simply "masculinity". One never hears the term "toxic femininity", probably for the same reason: one woman's behaviour might be "assertive and insistent" to you, and "manipulative and bitchy" to me, depending on our respective: a) contextual interpretation; b) ideological persuasion or bias.

[@NG71]

She's a Gemini though

[@arturl4019]

There's something off about the way she answers the question about her being traditional, then the "me too" movement and kind of defending men "complementing" women, and then eventually going about some predatory man in the entertainment industry. Maybe it’s just me, but i think she's not quite consistent in what she thinks, or maybe not aware of all the horrible abuse of women in the entertainment industry throughout the years.

[@501rivet]

I luv her....

[@colemarie9262]

Unbelievable that she can totally miss that the women she’s deriding felt the same way she did with her described incident.....

It’s a shame she misunderstands toxic masculinity and then goes on to describe an incident with a toxic man waving his toxic masculinity, misunderstanding the connection!

[@benfisher1376]

But I think she's talking of degrees. A man chatting a woman up is not the same thing as a man harassing women ir assaulting. People are losing the ability to read situations and navigate sexual encounters etc

[@francinezane4076]

I believe you misunderstood Joan and that is a shame.

[@RuminatingRaptor]

@@benfisher1376 No, they aren’t. What’s actually happening is that behaviour that was normalized is being exposed as not being appropriate. If you have a problem with that then you’re part of the problem.

[@aussiejubes]

Firstly, please google the term "whataboutism" so you can learn about fallacious reasoning & how that concept lacks critical thought. It will help you form better arguments to learn about logical fallacies. Secondly, she's answering questions she's asked. If you want to ask different questions then become a journalist and do, or write to journalists with a suggested list. Thirdly, what is it you think women were doing to each other? Trying to rape each other? Lording their power over each other & threatening to destroy other women's careers? Parading other starlets around on forced dates on the promise of a role or the threat of losing a role? No, it was men doing that. And the men were doing it to other men as well.
