Joan Collins, renowned for her role in Dynasty, continues to thrive at the age of 93. Currently starring in a new film My Duchess, she offers valuable advice for aging gracefully.
“I just love life,” Collins shared with The Independent at Variety’s Women of Power event. Her secrets include enjoying fresh air, getting adequate sleep, staying hydrated, and maintaining self-care.
Dennis Quaid may revel in his own paradise, but Collins emphasizes her personal approach. She finds confidence through watching classic films, particularly those featuring Bette Davis, and prefers movies from the ’80s and ’90s starring personalities like Jack Nicholson and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Maintaining physical health is a priority for Collins. She told The Telegraph about her gym routine, noting she prefers basic Pilates exercises over using reformer machines. However, she finds walking mundane, opting to stroll in her apartment, tending to her flowers.
Collins attributes her youthful vitality to good genetics. Her father lived to 87, an impressive feat for someone born in 1903. Similarly, her mother was diligent in caring for her and her sister by providing supplements.
Love plays a significant role in her life. Married to Percy Gibson since 2002, she has discovered a fulfilling partnership despite the 32-year age gap. Their friendship blossomed through shared interests, collaboration, and written correspondence.
“He is a really nice, kind, grounded person,” she remarked about Gibson. Collins dismisses age as merely a number, advocating that it’s never too late to find love.
Enthusiastic about life, Collins recalls her childhood vibrancy and pursuit of diverse interests. She views life as a precious gift to be cherished.
In her memoir, Behind the Shoulder Pads, she talks about her zest for life, which sometimes exhausts Gibson. Stephanie Nolasco provides entertainment coverage for Foxnews.com.
