Our Joanie is one hell of a Dame

oh, DeAr! Does that mighty jawline need some work at last? Is white the best colour next to the neckline for ageing skin? And those shoes. Are they really a good choice for a swelegant night out in hollywood?

But enough about Percy Gibson, doesn’t his wife Joan Collins look marvellous?

The indefatigable Dame Joan went out for dinner in hollywood — after working for 14 hours on the set of hit series American horror Story. What a fabulous trouper.

her life is still a whirl of fun and glamour — as her Instagram account reveals. Palm Springs for easter. Lunch at The Wolseley in London with the new Vogue editor. St Tropez for her birthday. Baccarat candlesticks and place names on the table for a family dinner. Independence Day on the beach at Malibu in Breton stripes and an elegant sunhat, looking fabulous. After summer, she embarks on another UK tour, going from Beverly hills to Basingstoke, Buxton and beyond.

Joan, pictured with Percy, is an inspiration to all and the living embodiment of actress Bette Davis’s maxim: ‘While I’ve still got my legs and my make-up box, I will never retire.’ Is Joan the greatest dame of all? Sometimes I think so.
