'Some stories from my amazing adventures in life I've only ever shared with friends... Until now!'

Dame Joan Collins has always believed one should retain some mystery in life, and hide a knowing smile behind one's shoulder pads. Returning in dazzling form, she shares her most memorable moments from a vibrant life in the limelight. From her early years as a young star in the golden era of Hollywood to stamping her stilettos in Dynasty; from the glittering heights of Saint Tropez to the busy Oscars season, join Joan as she takes you on an incredible journey through a life well-lived!

Filled with her most spectacular stories, including with the late Queen Elizabeth, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, Warren Beatty, Diana, Princess of Wales and many more, Behind the Shoulder Pads is a tour-de-force of shock and delight in equal measure.

Hilarious, intimate, and completely spellbinding, Joan invites you into her life like never before, sharing the stories she only tells her closest of friends.

The way she constantly name drops. Plus whiney voice when she’s imitating someone. So corny

Having just finished Barbra Streisand’s tome of performances, the continual striving for perfection and a life devoted to political action and charity this was a different beast. Don’t get me wrong I was fascinated and enjoyed all the anecdotes, it just felt more superficial.

An interesting window into another world

Boring book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The woman is a lady..Joan is from that beautiful era of true Leading Ladies that we won't have again.. there is a lot of name dropping from her glamorous life which you can only really enjoy if you know that era..the most endearing part of her story is her meeting her future husband Percy and the deep love and adoration they have for each other

The Joan and Percy love story
