This famous personality experienced childhood during wartime, although the details of the events leading to the war were hazy due to her young age.

Born on May 23, 1933, in London, England, she is the eldest child of Elsa and Joseph, a former nightclub hostess and a talent agent, respectively.

The family, including two siblings, endured the challenges of World War II, seeking shelter in Tube stations to escape German bombs. Recalling the period in May 2020, she mentioned being constantly evacuated, impacting her education.

The renowned actress Joan Collins grew up amid the war’s disruptions, frequently moving with her family. Despite the difficulties, having her mother with her provided some relief.

She reminisced about sleeping in the underground, particularly at Marble Arch, describing it as a convivial experience with people singing and playing accordions.

Joan Collins became a household name, especially after her role in the 1981 drama series “Dynasty” alongside Linda Evans. In a 2013 interview, she revealed her grandmother’s influence on her interest in acting, despite her father’s initial discouragement.

Over the years, Collins achieved success in her career, although her love life faced challenges. Engaged to Warren Beatty and pregnant at 26, she terminated the pregnancy on his advice to protect their careers.

Despite not marrying Beatty, Collins went on to have four marriages before marrying her current husband, Percy Gibson, in 2002.

The couple, with a notable age difference, has maintained a strong and enduring relationship. Collins, now 90, continues to make a mark in the entertainment industry.
