Dame Joan Collins feels ‘nun-like’<\/p>\n
The 90-year-old star – who married fifth husband Percy in 2002 – has reflected on being labelled a “man-eater” earlier in her life, and she pointed to a double standard in the way people look at women and their sex lives.<\/p>\n
In an episode of ‘Louis Theroux Interviews…’ set to air on BBC Two in the UK next week, she said: “If you compare how I was in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s in between husbands with the way that some actresses \u2014 I shan\u2019t mention any names \u2014 are today, I was positively nun-like really.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, I had a lot of boyfriends at [drama school] Rada \u2014 it was the normal things that you do.<\/p>\n
“You try out different permutations of men.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJoan – who has previously been married to Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley, Ronald S. Kass and Peter Holm – joked she walked down the aisle so many times because she has faith in the idea of marriage, and with Percy it’s “finally” paid off.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cI believe in marriage \u2014 which is why I\u2019ve done it five times \u2014 and I finally have a wonderful marriage.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cPercy is 30-odd years younger than me, but I don\u2019t even feel my age. I don\u2019t even talk about it, I don\u2019t even think about it.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI have some friends around my age and I don\u2019t find them interesting \u2014 everyone\u2019s gotten older except me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAnd he got the vote of approval from her late sister Jackie Collins, who died aged 77 in 2015, and she revealed they “all got along” before her tragic death after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
\nJoan said: “Unfortunately a lot of people in my life she hated. Luckily she adored Percy and we all got along in the last, sadly, few years of her life.<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s so sad. I think of her all the time, but that\u2019s life, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
