Dame Joan Collins

Louis Theroux takes a trip to the French Riviera to spend time with actress, author and one of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s golden age, Dame Joan Collins.

Louis Theroux travels to the glamorous French Riviera to spend time with actress, author and one of the last surviving icons of Hollywood’s golden age, Dame Joan Collins.

Welcomed into Dame Joan's secluded villa near St Tropez, Louis talks to her about the ups and downs of her multi-decade career, which has so far spanned over 70 years. From her beginnings as a drama student at Rada in the 1940s to the silver screens of Hollywood in the 1950s, the horror movies of the 1970s and the worldwide success of Dynasty in the 1980s, Dame Joan candidly reflects on her triumphs, setbacks and her experiences of the predatory nature of an often toxic entertainment industry.
