Joan’s the queen of Insta-glam ...aged 87!

- By Emma Powell Showbusine­ss Correspond­ent

THEY were in their silver screen prime half a century ago.

But these two golden girls are not going to let a little thing like the pandemic slow them down, even though they are now in their 80s.

Joan Collins was back to work this week, posing for a poolside shoot in Los Angeles, while Jane Fonda showed off her intense workout regime.

Dame Joan, 87, oozed old-style Hollywood glamour as she posed in a black sequined dress, heels and diamonds at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The British actress, who was among the first high-profile figures to receive a Covid19 vaccinatio­n, sprawled out on a pink sheet and what looked like a huge black feather boa, resting her sunglasses on the tip of her nose.

She shared the image on Instagram and captioned the shot, ‘Heigh-hi, heigh-go it’s off to work we go’ in a near-reference to Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. Dame Joan, who saw her career hit new heights in the Eighties when she played shoulder-padded schemer Alexis Colby in American TV soap Dynasty, was criticised for flying to Los Angeles from London, despite explaining that it was for work purposes.

Miss Fonda, 83, who released a series of fitness videos in the Eighties, masked up for her stretches. Her first video, Jane Fonda’s Workout,

released in 1982, is the highest-selling VHS of all time.

The actress, whose films include Barbarella, Klute and Coming Home, is now an environmen­talist and political activist. She shared a picture of herself stretching and squatting using a resistance band and foam roller.

Miss Fonda wore a T-shirt with a picture of the Earth bearing her initials on the front and ‘There is no Planet B’ on the back – a reference to the environmen­tal movement she spearheads with Greenpeace. Her post came a day after she received her second shot of the coronaviru­s vaccine.
