British-born actress Joan Collins, pictured here with co-stars of "Dynasty", John Forsythe and Linda Evans, celebrates her 70th birthday on 23rd May 2003. With a varied career ranging from stage and screen acting to writing, producing and working in the fashion business, she is most widely known for playing Alexis Carrington Corby in the popular TV series 'Dynasty'. Her private life, too, has always gained her a certain notoriety and she married her fifth husband Percy Gibson in Ferbruary 2002. Joan Collins, at the age of 70, seems reluctant to slow down. In 2001 she returned to the London stage to appear in Ken Ludwig's 'Over the Moon' at the Old Vic, and in 2002 she has had two books published. (KEYSTONE/CAMERA PRESS/Jerry Watson) === S ===
