Gregory Peck! Robert Mitchum! Paul Newman! Jack Palance! My Leading Men with Dame Joan Collins!

Superstar Joan Collins remembers her pre-"Dynasty" days as a western leading lady to good guy Gregory Peck in "The Bravados" and her adventures as a Euro-western star with bad guy Jack Palance. Plus, tough guy Robert Mitchum and smooth as silk Paul Newman are recalled. As a Hollywood starlet and contract player in the 1950s, British actress Joan Collins was given horseback riding lessons. Could she ride? Find out from Joan as she remembers Peck's riding tips and her dangerous location trip to Mexico. Joan starred in another western called “The Great Adventure” starring Jack Palance and shot in Spain. How does the rough handling she received from Palance compare the tough guy acting style of icon Robert Mitchum in “The Big Sleep?” With lots of leading men over the years, who was Joan’s favorite? When Dame Joan joined the cast of "Dynasty," the ratings took a huge leap! Was it those dangerous shenanigans between Joan and Linda Evans that made "Dynasty" among the most watched shows on television. Find out from the grand Dame herself in this lively, revealing, and extended conversation with Joan and producer Rob Word from 2015 filmed at The Autry Museum.
