Hollywood icon Joan Collins is a world-renowned actress who burst into the highlight through the Fifties after getting her large break in I Believe in You. Due to her success within the position, the press on the time labelled her ‘Britain’s Bad Girl’ as she propelled into stardom.

Now at 91, Joan’s profession has seen her obtain a number of accolades, together with Golden Globe Awards, People’s Choice Award, two Soap Opera Digest Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. In 1983, the actress was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Reflecting on her profession in movie and tv, Joan in contrast the shift in material to trendy films, whereas revealing her favorite film is a 1988 basic.

In a 2023 column, Joan criticised lots of Hollywood’s latest choices, branding them “too long, too boring, too bleak.” Speaking on Cate Blanchett’s Oscar-nominated efficiency in Tar, she acknowledged that the Australian actress “offers a tour de power in Tar as a composer, but it was in a movie that, frankly, had me nodding off midway by means of”.

She added: “Ana de Armas surely deserved her nomination for Best Actress for playing Marilyn Monroe in the film Blonde, but I couldn’t cope with the bizarre talking foetus.

“Here are some of the entertaining and brilliant films that were nominated: Rain Man, Mississippi Burning, A Fish Called Wanda, Working Girl and, one of mine and my husband’s shared favourites, Midnight Run.”

The 1988 comedy classic, Midnight Run, stars Robert De Niro as a bounty hunter who catches a bail jumper, Jonathan (played by Charles Grodin), much to the FBI’s embarrassment.

Praising the films, Joan added: “The subject matters were lofty, educational and difficult, yet the stories with a message were simple, the film-making, editing and dialogue clear.”

In her MailOnline column, the actress shared some of her biggest issues with many Hollywood films being released today. She explained: “Films today seem to cater either to a small group of like-minded individuals who respond to the egalitarian ‘woke-ism’ so prevalent among today’s so-called intelligentsia or, at the other end of the spectrum, to the very young, with superhero franchises, man-eating zombies, infantile and scatological humour or blood-spattering horror.”
