Joan Collins continues to prove that age is no barrier to beauty, confidence, or living life to the fullest. Now 90, the iconic actress recently turned heads with a striking photo of herself in a leopard-print swimsuit, radiating elegance and joy while enjoying some winter sunshine.
Best known for her unforgettable role as Alexis Carrington Colby on Dynasty, Collins became a household name in the 1980s, dominating TV screens with her commanding presence. At the peak of the show’s popularity in 1984, Dynasty drew in over 20 million viewers weekly, and Collins was earning $15,000 an episode—unheard of for a woman in television at the time. Her portrayal of a powerful, unapologetic woman broke boundaries and inspired generations.
In a 2019 interview with CBS, she reflected on the criticism she once received: “People called my character a snob and a vixen, but I was just playing a strong woman. Back then, that wasn’t always welcome on screen.”
Decades after her screen debut, Collins remains active in the entertainment industry. She recently appeared in Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex, and she’s currently working on a new project titled In Bed with the Duchess. On top of that, she’s embraced social media, sharing glimpses of her glamorous life with fans around the world.
Over the holidays, while many in the U.S. were facing bitter cold, Joan was soaking up the sun in Beverly Hills. She shared a photo from a sunny day by the pool with her husband, 57-year-old Percy Gibson, accompanied by a playful caption: “Thanks to the Bricusses and 82 degrees in Beverly Hills, I got to swim and enjoy a lovely lunch.”
Her swimwear choice—a bold leopard-print suit—earned praise from fans who couldn’t believe how radiant she looked at 90. The actress showed that grace, glamour, and confidence never go out of style.
Joan has been married five times, and she’s always been candid about her past. Her first marriage to actor Maxwell Reed ended in four years. She later married singer Anthony Newley, with whom she had two children, Tara and Alexander. After that came producer Ronald S. Kass, father of her daughter Katy, followed by Swedish singer Peter Holm—a relationship she’s openly admitted regretting.
“Some of my marriages were mistakes,” she once said. “But I don’t regret the children they gave me. They’re my greatest gifts.”
Now, Collins says she’s found true partnership with Percy. Their bond grew even stronger during the pandemic lockdowns. “Spending so much time alone with Percy made me realize how solid we really are. He’s my partner in everything,” she shared. “We’re a great team.”
There’s no denying it—Joan Collins is a living legend. With her charm, wit, and timeless beauty, she continues to inspire fans across generations. At 90, she’s not slowing down—if anything, she’s just getting started.
