JOAN COLLINS – 87 YEARS OLD

Dame Joan Collins started a career in acting at the age of nine. Even at a young age, she had set herself to become one of the most iconic actresses of her time by subjecting herself to be trained in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) when she turned sixteen. RADA is a special school focused on the study of dramatic arts. It is similar to the online classes and acting workshops we now can do online via Zoom or other platforms that can bring teams or a group of people together. Soon after she completed her course, she moved to Hollywood and became one of the industry’s biggest stars crediting to opportunities of being paired to equivalent stars. Today, she continues to work excellently and dedicatedly to her craft.

In the ‘70s, Collins flew back to Britain and was cast in a number of movies, which were mostly horror and thriller films. She jetted off to Italy for the football-themed comedy film L’arbitro and traveled to Spain to shoot The Great Adventure, where she starred with Jack Palance. She also starred in two comedy projects, such as Alfie Darling and The Bawdy Adventures of Tom Jones. Collins flew to the U.S.A. to film the giant insect sci-fi project Empire of the Ants.
