Here's a link to # Clip 2 from the documentary: • Joan Collins Talks Abo... Enjoy!

My Mom called it at the end of the cliff hanger. She said, "They are going to get someone beautiful, European and glamourous to show up next season, I'm thinking either Joan Collins or Diana Rigg, but Joan Collins is more glamourous, so my money is on Joan!" We all watched the season opening episode and when Joan Collins appeared on screen, we cheered. Mom was right!

[@richardc8795]

Gotta say, I’m glad your mom was right 😁

[@142chrisjake]

Your mother is to blame for you being gay. I hope you know that.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

I met Joan at a party last year, aged 90 (her, not me!). She was still the most beautiful, glamorous and talked about person there. She was done up to the nines and smartly ascended a huge London 19th century staircase in heels. She was very charming and chatted away and posed for photographs, including with me. She hasn’t lost it.

[@teresalehtonen8499]

She is incredible! So glad for you , you got this moment with Dame Joan.

[@rjddurhamnc]

"it wasn't terribly successful..............until I got there". What a Dame.

[@S.L.S-407]

There are so many things to like about Joan Collins. She's beautiful, intelligent, smart, classy, a very good business woman, a good writer, but most of all she is a wonderful mother. Keep on keeping on Joan Collins.

It was such a success, the world was watching and holding their breath every week with every episode! I was in elementary school then! 😊

[@vanityangel2025]

She was great as Alexis. It would be hard to top that

Joan brought the kiss 💋 of life to Dynasty. And she really does look amazing in hats 👒 !

[@richardc8795]

People keep trying to hand credit to Heather Locklear. 😆 Ummm… no. It was Joan.

[@Manon2]

@@richardc8795 Why not Heather? I do like her.

[@jeylful]

@@Manon2 Because it was the fabulous (and famous) Alexis Colby and its war against Blake that kept it going

[@Manon2]

@@jeylful Of course, but note that Sammy Jo was a villain too. Not that potent and ominous as Alexis, however, she pulled a stunt quite a few times throughout Dynasty as to get hold of money. Besides, she had fine looks - and that surely attracted huge audiences in front of the tv.

[@peretzo]

This is such a treat to watch! Thank you for uploading this! ❤ I LOVE Joan. Her beauty is not natural, but still she’s one of the most beautiful

That was brilliant, thanks! I wish it was a complete video!

Shhh, it's on dailymotion ... haven't seen it all, but can say the "Dynasty" part is longer (e.g. with a hilarious scene about who, Joan or John, is gonna accept an award for the show on stage..)

[@HenryTudor-m7k]

I watched this series as a teenager on TV. Now I have the whole series on DVD. I found it boring at first until Joan Collins arrived then the show really took off!! Thank you .... you saved the show!!

[@Manon2]

Kudos to Joan for coming to Dynasty, but I still think Season 1 was the best one in the entire series, although its ratings weren't impressive.

[@franciscoblanco8604]

Alexis Carrington was the best...

[@Manon2]

@@franciscoblanco8604 Have you seen the entire series, all seasons? The arrival of Alexis certainly jazzed things up - she was a key protagonist from Season 2 on, and the main plot was built around her mutual hatred for Blake. However - maybe it's the matter of perception - I still think that Season 1 stood out from the rest of the other seasons - mainly due to the fabulous Blaisdel family, who's life was depicted in it.

We gay men have always adored the strong, assertive and sometimes bitchy Alexis with her gay son Steven, where we also feel the same about the beautiful Dame Joan Collins 😍😍😍😍

[@marilynwillett804]

Joan Collins is known as the poor man's Elizabeth Taylor.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

She was in the 1950s. But Taylor’s career faded and she put on tons of weight while in the 1980s Dame Joan was the most watched actress in the world (well, the show was) and the highest paid.

[@johntalens686]

collins seems bitchy but shes really so down to earth in person...she plays her character so effectively as a villain...i love her and i watch all her interviews..

My Darling, you were a lady when Linda tried to fight like a man.

[@bookie5667]

Joan has a very strange idea about women in business, and good female role models. IMO Alexis is the antithesis of those things. Her entire raison d'etre was emotional, ie she wanted to get revenge on her ex-husband husband Blake. Initially she tried to bring him down in a murder trial, then she sought out his enemy, Cecil Colby, and got into a relationship with him just to get her revenge on Blake. Then, when he died, she used her inheritance (Cecil's company) to repeatedly try and put Blake out of business. I don't remember her making a single business decision unless it punished Blake in some way. So... she did absolutely nothing "businesslike" to obtain power (she slept her way to the top) then she ran her business following her emotions, rather than based on good business sense, for 9 years! In other words Joan played the 1980s mysoginists idea of a woman in business.

[@Manon2]

Thus one can say Alexis was the archetype of evil, and the complete reverse of what Krystle was. The strife between 'darkness' and 'light' represented by those two was the backbone of the entire Dynasty's plot. Alexis was driven by immense hatred for Blake - remember how she even briefly took control of his estate,in Season 5 ? However, she must have had some businesslike qualities, because after all, she was oil tycoon and was in charge of a huge petroleum enterprise , which wouldn't be possible without any business knowledge ; yet, that aspect wasn't highlighted in Dynasty too often.

[@andrewaway]

She is so awful.

[@jackdoe4632]

It had played in England before she was on it, she is lying to make out she saved the show.

[@keenahansel9104]

And you know this how?

[@jackdoe4632]

@@keenahansel9104 I watched the show in England from the very first episode, before she was on it and it was better without her.

[@keenahansel9104]

@@jackdoe4632 OK, that's your opinion and I can respect that. However, having watched it in the 1980's and watching it again now on Pluto TV, I think the first season sucked. It was incredibly dull and boring - in my opinion. To each his or her own. We can't all have the same opinions about everything all the time. However, facts are facts. And the fact is - it was near the bottom of the ratings at the end of season 1 (at least here in the U.S.) and there was talk (in the U.S.) that it would probably be cancelled. Aaron Spelling was given one chance to "spice it up." I remember that from way back then. So Joanie isn't lying about her saving the show. The ratings going through the roof and the show going to #1, with her in it, back that up. Maybe season 1 did well in England but not here in the States, by any stretch of the imagination. Dynasty premiered in the U.S. in January of 1981. When did it start in England?

[@Manon2]

@@keenahansel9104 Katy Kurtzman and Bo Hopkins were absolutely fabulous in Season 1!! Two of my favorite actors from Season 1!! Katy should have been awarded something for her portrayal of Lindsay Blaisdel . She was pure emotion. The character of Matthew Blaisdel was also superbly outlined. The first season of Dynasty was different from the rest, but I wouldn't say it was dull - I think it formed a good , solid introduction to the entire series! That's my opinion.
