Today, glamorous English actress Joan Collins (1933) had her 80th birthday. One of the great survivors of the cinema, she began in the early 1950s as a starlet of the British film. 20th Century Fox brought her to Hollywood as their answer to MGM's Elizabeth Taylor. In the 1970s she was the ‘Queen of the B-pictures’, but in the 1980s Joan became the highest-paid TV star, thanks to Dynasty. Happy birthday, ms. Collins.

"One of the great survivors of cinema" is right. What a career. She had an amazing ability to reinvent herself.
