Joan Collins's daughter Tara Newley sings!

I'm not interested in the song.

Can someone please explain the allure of Joan Collins to me. She's a terrible actress who basically played herself in Dynasty. She's a stuck up bitch who can't laugh at herself.

She's also a major narcissist and obsessed with superficiality. Is that her allure to the gays?

R2, did she steal a man from you and you find her humorless?

I wouldn't agree with that.

I would agree with that.

She's a very camp lady...that's her 'allure'.

Thanks for the replies, I just don't get her obviously.

[reply]Which other famous singer does her recent song remind you of?

Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star(Tara Newley WISHES!).

She made my dog bark.

She has a huge sense of humor about herself.

I met her in NY after Private Lives. She took off her wig and makup in front of me.

'The glamour drag now gone, I can be me."

Her lookalike assistant came into the room, put on a huge swath of red lipstick and huge sunglasses along with a wig. She tied a scarf round her head, a beautiful coat and smiled at the crowd, signed a few autographs, got into the limo and then Joan and I exited with not one soul recognizing her.

She made a lot of cracks about her look, her glamor etc. Very funny lady.

Tara's husband does not look 61.

Portrait.

I never found her attractive, but she does seem like a cool old broad. Even when younger, not very attractive IMO. I never knew any straight guys that thought she was hot either.

I met Joan years ago, at a NYC charity fashion show. She was hilarious. Some fan working with the models backstage, she was one of the stylists, wanted a photo with Joan, but the film got stuck and the shutter locked. Joan asked for the camera, she was able to advance the film! Joan then posed for a few photos with the fan. Not many rude celebs would do what Joan did, they sure wouldn't have that sort of patience.

I don't understand why Joan has such a bad rep here at DL. Someone else I know met Joan, they said the same, Joan was funny and delightful. Could be some people met her on a bad day. Not everyone is 'on' everyday!

Tara sounds like her father. Any unlikely singing star.

She's a conservative, and not just the fiscal type.

She was the downmarket, British Elizabeth Taylor in the '50s.

DAME Elizabeth Taylor was British.

Wing?

Did you not see the bitchy remarks she made about longtime colleague Linda Evans' plastic surgery? She made the remarks just after she completed touring with Linda in a play. Linda had been specifically recruited to costar in the play with Joan to create buzz and more ticket sales.

And here's the best clip ever. Hilariously, Mrs. Garrett was actually at the premiere of Joan and Linda's play when she made this remark.

What a strange question, with this "three guesses" thing. I mean if someone thinks she sounds like Florence Ballard, that's the answer. Why would they need three guesses?

It's true. We know... for we were there. We are... those Luckybitches.

[Quote] Sasha, Ford, Tara too...

Sacha, 4, Tara, 2.

The line above includes a joke, as Tara was born before Sacha. Either the skit is implying that Joan doesn't know the birth order of her own kids, or the writing was sloppy.

And don't forget, Joan's son Sacha writes! Remember his bio a few years back, where he used over flowery language to describe his "mouthwatering" mother?

I think that Joan was much more beautiful at age 50 than she was at 35 or even 25. Supposedly she wears some stretching device under her wig, and the device is supposed to mimic the result of a facelift surgery. Until she removes it for the night, anyway.

[Quote] the writing was sloppy.

The chronology of that skit is part of the joke. There's a 1970s party scene with "Marilyn Monroe" in a frizzy blonde wig and a British accent.

The negative DL posts over the years about Joan were mostly about how Joan treated her fans. Most said she was always rude. I had a pleasant and much different experience, so did the others who interacted with Joan that evening at the charity fashion event.

All I know, I'd never want to be famous or in showbiz. Imagine having to constantly read what strangers think about a person they don't even know.

Eh... didn't Joan have ties to UKIP? She's become one of those Rent-a-quote celebrities, spouting conservative rhetoric.
