In Joan Collins' defense I feel she had alot of potential when she was younger. She was either misused or misguided but I've had the opportunity to see some of her earlier performances and she realy isn't as bad an actress as people try to make her out to be. Later on she played up "the bitch persona".
Anyone only needs to check out some of her early films to know what I'm talking about:
"The Virgin Queen"
"Decameron Nights"
"The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing"
"The Wayward Bus"
"Island in the Sun"
"Sea Wife"
"Rally 'Round The Flag Boys!" (she gives a great comedic performance in this one alongside Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and Tuesday Weld)
