My Unapologetic Diaries
My Unapologetic Diaries | Joan Collins
3 posts | 3 read
'Wonderfully rich and mesmerising' William Boyd 'As brutal, withering and funny as you'd expect' Julian Clary 'Fabulously entertaining, impossibly glamorous, and utterly irresistible' Piers Morgan 'A treat from start to finish' Elizabeth Hurley *** Joan Collins has been a diarist from the age of twelve, writing enthusiastically over the years. She dictated most of these entries in real time into a mini-tape recorder at the end of the day, and now she is spilling the beans - well, nearly all of them. What you will discover was written when Joan 'felt like it' between 1989 and 2009. Whether it is an encounter with a superstar or a member of the Royal Family, or her keen and honest insights into other celebrities at dinner parties and events, Joan is honest and unapologetic. Taking us on a dazzling tour around the globe - from exclusive restaurants in Los Angeles to the glittering beaches of St Tropez, from dinner parties in London to galas in New York City - some of the characters you will meet in these pages include Rod Stewart, Princess Margaret, Donald Trump, Michael Caine, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, Rupert Everett, Roger Moore, Shirley MacLaine, Andrew Lloyd Webber and many more. Her diaries are intimate and witty, and they pull no punches, with NO apologies to anyone mentioned in them!

Have recently discovered that I enjoy a biography/autobiography when listening to an audiobook. Joan‘s diaries are funny and irreverent showcasing not only how like her Dynasty character she can be but also how human she is as well.

Interesting insights into the industry and how differently people are treated.

How could I resist reading the unfiltered diaries of the amazing Dame Joan Collins! Loved all the juicy Hollywood gossip, name-dropping & scathing behind the scenes drama, especially on Legends, a play I saw with Joan & Linda Evans.Thrilled to land this signed & numbered limited US edition. And had to include this photo of the biggest Dynasty fan I know:my 93-yr-old Mom, who met Joan at a Dynasty Reunion in 2014.Mom & I are bingeing Season 4 now!

TheBookgeekFrau What are you watching it on? My mother also LOVED Dynasty (we were all under a threat of death if we forgot to record for her on Wednesday nights 😂) 1y
LeahBergen Aww, look at your Mom! ❤️❤️ 1y
batsy Love that photo of your mum and Joan Collins 💕 1y

batsy (my mum was also obsessed with Dynasty and that's how I ended up watching it 😆) 1y
Deblovestoread Love everything about this! 1y
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau @batsy 😂 I see our moms are very similar! My mom was so addicted to watching Dynasty that she refused to answer the phone if we called on Weds nights. And we were 3,000 miles away! That‘s how I ended up watching it too! I bought her the entire series in DVD. 1y
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau @batsy I must admit, I can‘t wait for Dex to show up. He made me swoon back then! 🥰 P.S. This book didn‘t have enough gossip on Dynasty, so I may have to read Joan‘s earlier memoir. 1y
UwannaPublishme @LeahBergen @batsy @Deblovestoread It‘s Mom‘s fave photo… and mine! She was so mesmerized meeting Joan. And Joan was very sweet. 1y
TheBookgeekFrau @UwannaPublishme Omg, Dex! Loved him! And yes, our moms are similar 😂 I'm bummed it's on DVD and not a streaming service. At first I was like, cool I'll get the DVDs for my mother's bday next month; but, yeah, right--she doesn't have a DVD player. But she probably still has the VCR we used to tape it 🤣 1y
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau I hate to admit that both my mom and I have working DVD and VHS players. 🤣 But I just found out you can watch Dynasty on Prime Video, Vudu and Apple TV. 🙌🏻 Hope you get to watch soon! These episodes are hysterical! 1y
TheBookgeekFrau @UwannaPublishme I also have both DVD and VHS players, but I'm in CO and mom's in NY soooo 🤷‍♀️😂 But when I tell her about Dynasty on those streaming services she's gonna leap technologically beyond me 🤣 1y
UwannaPublishme @TheBookgeekFrau 😂🙌🏻💃🏻 1y
PurpleyPumpkin This sounds like a fun read! And wow, amazing that your Mom got to meet Dame Joan! 😍 1y
UwannaPublishme @PurpleyPumpkin It was definitely my Mom who got me interested in reading celebrity memoirs. She has been a star gazer from way back. She even has what we call The Celebrity Wall—with photos of all the stars she met. 📸 1y
PurpleyPumpkin That‘s so cool! Would love to see your Mom‘s Celebrity Wall. Not many can say they have that! 1y
