Joan Collins, best known for her iconic role as Alexis Carrington on Dynasty, has lived a glamorous yet challenging personal life. Now 22 years into a happy marriage with her fifth husband, Percy Gibson—32 years her junior—Collins reflects on her journey through love and hardship.
Before finding lasting love, Collins endured four marriages, including a troubled first marriage to Maxwell Reed, where she experienced abuse. Her second husband, Anthony Newley, was unfaithful, leading to divorce despite having two children together. Her third marriage to music executive Ronald S. Kass ended due to his financial struggles and reported heroin addiction, though they had a daughter, Katy. Her fourth marriage to Swedish singer Peter Holm ended in a bitter divorce after just 13 months.
