DAME Joan Collins says she misses the 1980s – the decade of greed and selfishness symbolised by her iconic Dynasty role as super-rich schemer Alexis Colby.
Dame Joan starred as the exwife of oil tycoon Blake Carrington from 1981 until the series finale in 1989.
She won a Golden Globe in 1983 and earned five other nominations for playing the character fans across the world loved to hate. And recalling her Dynasty days, the 88-year-old star tells BBC special This Is Joan Collins: “It was the right show for the right time. It had beautiful people, beautiful clothes, beautiful sets, real flowers, real caviar, real anger behind the scenes from some of us.
“The 1980s was the 'me' decade. The markets were trading bonds with the bravado of Gordon Gekko. And the stock market soared. People were making a lot of of money and investing it and living the good life.”
She added: “The 1980s was a great decade. I don't care what people say about it. I don't care if they say it was all greed and Gordon Gekko. I loved Gordon Gekko and I miss it."
