In the 80's, I used to pass her maybe once per week while we were both running in a park along Santa Monica Blvd in LA. To my surprise, from about the second time on, she said good morning to me each time she saw me there. Nothing more. Just a very pleasant person.

[@erikricardoboscolo4779]

She's a brit star. It's amazing how down to earh brits are when it comes to fame and even more as they age.

[@peter22564]

Me too Hyde park London still made time what a girl

[@leovenus2782]

I absolutely love that! So glad you shared.

[@slydoll7877]

I've seen her in person (served her..not anything glam) and she was THE most lovely person...just a complete lady and so polite and kind.

[@manueljorgedecastroaguado8941]

Totally agree with you. Met her in Benidorm and had dinner with her and more people and she just was STUNNING AND DOWN TO EARTH

[@jackiehoughton9727]

I think she's incredible 💜

[@BeautifulDreamerK]

These are some of the big qualities I aspire to have as a woman - a lady, polite, kind, and down to earth.

[@asdabir]

It was so mature and professional of her to say no to changing the shoot time.

[@nemo227]

She did the right thing. She may not have fully understood it at the time but she quickly established that she wasn't an easy mark.

[@paperboy8865]

I met Joan many years ago at a book signing. She was around 70 then. I brought along a movie still from “Land of the Pharaohs,” one of her earliest roles in which she starred in 1955 as the evil Princess Nellifer. I asked if she’d be kind enough to sign my photo & much to my delight she had me come stand next to her while she told me about making the film. She said “I looked pretty good then didn’t I? I was 19 & had trouble keeping my plastic gemstone in my navel!” She then proceeded to reinact her final scene from the film & thanked me for being a fan. She was fun, friendly & gracious. And although she had a lot of makeup on it was easy to see she had not had any work done. She looked real & YES, still very sexy! I was in my 30’s at the time & remember thinking what an effect she must’ve had on men in the fifties considering how incredible she looked even then. Joan is the real deal & she’s certainly made the most of a life well lived.

[@Rogerthatx10]

Name drop name drop name drop. She was a mediocre actress at best. Pretentious British accent was what sold her to Hollywood.

[@stevebbuk]

@@Rogerthatx10 But it's not where you start it's where you finish.

[@Rogerthatx10]

@@stevebbuk I can see what you’re saying. I have a different perspective. She’s ended up with a lot of parties to speak about and a lot of money. She was still a mediocre actress. I’d rather be less known and incredible at my craft than overrated and have to namedrop big celebrities to be relatable to an audience of people.

[@gingerbella4344]

Ageless and fabulous. Even if she has had surgery, she is still Joan. Hasn't ruined or distorted her looks, has wonderful style, and is still an impeccable and strong lady. I am a lifelong fan.

[@michaelmontagu3979]

I'm a fan too. Seen her in passing a couple of times and she said good morning each time. She really is what a star should be. I don't think she has had work, I remember seeing her on a show and she denied it. I'd say that she is scrupulously honest. Some people just age well.

[@gingerbella4344]

@@michaelmontagu3979 I remember her saying she was told when she was young that to keep her skin youthful, she should never suntan. I started following the same advice in my 20s, and now 40 years on, I can see that advice was good! 😁

[@chrismullan7191]

Joan is 85 now and still looks fab, the thing i love about her just just gets on with it and still going.

[@Blondie727]

Wow! I’m in awe of how beautiful she still is. I could care less if she had plastic surgery; she still is fabulous. She’s in her 80’s and puts most 40 yr olds to shame. Stunning & glamorous.

[@jaymesguy239]

What an as$ that Sinatra was. He didn't even bother to try for a minute more to convince her, when he realized he would have to work a little harder, he just abruptly hung up without saying goodbye and went on to the next starlet. What a gentleman! Joan was lucky she avoided his company.

[@Kareragirl]

And don't forget that he served Mia Farrow the divorce papers on set.

[@sparkle6419]

Heard he wasn't very nice, Ivana Trump said in her book that he stayed in the hotel she managed. (She handled all the celebs,) there was a married couple coming out of the elevator that was so overwhelmed and happy to see him and saying how much they loved him. He then stated "Get rid of the bums" in front of the couple and walked off. The world made him seem like he was some god during his era.

[@hd-xc2lz]

And every complimentary story I've heard about Sinatra could be equally be told as an example of his arrogance and need for admiration.

[@kazior6521]

Frank Sinatra wasn’t a good man. He treated a lot of people terribly. Many other people in the industry discussed him.
