About this listen

The autobiography of internationally renowned actress Joan Collins, brought to you in audio by none other than the star herself.

Her role as Alexis Carrington Colby in Dynasty brought her to peak stardom, a role which might have been created for the tempestuous, strong-willed, and passionate woman that she is. As might be expected, in this memoir, she tells the truth; from her romantic adventures - sometimes desirable, sometimes disastrous - with some of the most famous and interesting men in the world, to the inside story of her fascinating and erratic acting career. Joan Collins candidly divulges her past imperfect in a book that is, like herself, outspoken, witty, daring, and full of life.

Critic Reviews

“[T]his book, a sensation when it was published in England, is sheer heaven." (NY Times)

Fantastic. Joan Collins is only interested in one person, Joan Collins. The mirror is her best friend. Probably should have married it. She is the neurotic narcissist for the hollow Hollywood. The conveyor belt of men shows that her kids were secondary. And good on her. She's just behaving like a man. Well, the twentieth century version. Who knows what the twenty first century man is defined. She is a survivor. Enjoyable.
