At 93, Joan Collins is proving she still knows how to command a red carpet. The legendary “Dynasty” star made a rare public appearance at the UK premiere of her new mystery film, “A Murder Between Friends.” Collins posed for photos alongside longtime friend Elizabeth Hurley and reminded fans why she remains one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons.
No Slowing Down Here
While most people slow down in their 90s, it looks like Collins is doing the opposite. She is premiering a new movie at the age of 93, and slaying the red carpet looks.
This red carpet event gave fans a chance to see two generations of screen sirens together. Collins was looking elegant in a black embellished dress and a matching jacket. Hurley, 60, was shining bright and turning heads in a bright orange gown.
During the event, the pair smiled for photos. They were joined by Hurley’s son, Damien, and Collins’ husband of more than two decades, Percy Gibson, who also serves as a producer on this new mystery film.
A Remarkable Career for Collins
Talk about a remarkable career. Collins has found herself working in the business for over 70 years.
Collins may be best known for her iconic role as Alexis Carrington Colby on “Dynasty.” However, she did recently admit that her character’s success came with a downside.
In May, Collins talked with British Vogue. At the time, Collins reflected on a comment made by legendary producer Aaron Spelling during the show’s heyday. Collins said, “When Aaron Spelling said, ‘Joan is Alexis,’ that haunted me for so long.”
Collins would later confront Spelling about his remark. According to the actress, she said, “Aaron, why did you say that? You know that’s not true.”
Collins said Spelling’s response was simple, “Honest, it gets headlines.”
Spelling’s comments seemed to follow Collins for decades. Many viewers would blur the line between the actress and the famously ruthless TV character she portrayed. Yet, Collins has always maintained that Alexis was just a character.
In 1981, Collins joined “Dynasty.” She helped transform the struggling soap into one of the biggest television shows. With that, Alexis would become one of the most memorable characters of the decade.
‘Good Genes’ for Joan Collins
Collins continues to turn heads on the red carpet, even with the Hollywood icon being 93 years old. In a new interview with The Telegraph, Joan revealed how she keeps herself looking youthful and radiant.
The actress seems to think it’s “good genes” and some self-care. Joan said, “I have very good genes – I’m very lucky. My father lived to be 87, and for somebody born in 1903, that’s pretty amazing.”
Many fans associate Collins with the glamorous Alexis. However, the actress has remained very active long after “Dynasty” came to an end.
Recently, Collins has continued acting in film and television. She has also been publishing books and making regular public appearances. She earns praise for her longevity in an industry where few performers remain in the spotlight for over seven decades.
Her latest movie premiere is a reminder to fans that Collins has no intention of stepping away from the entertainment world anytime soon.
