Legendary British actress and star of the long-running soap\u00a0Dynasty<\/em>, Joan Collins, has just put her\u00a0Manhattan pied-a-terre\u00a0up for sale for almost $2.1 million.<\/h4>\n

Joan\u2019s life achievements in film and television tended to keep things in the family.<\/p>\n

Starting out with a bang as a child actor whose father was a talent agent managing such stars as Tom Jones and the Beatles, her sister, Jackie Collins, was equally well known for her New York Times best-selling-racy novels that sold over 500 million copies.<\/p>\n

Several of Jackie\u2019s books were made into films including\u00a0The Stud<\/em>, which starred Joan in the lead role, and made over $20 million.<\/p>\n

Joan began her formal training at age 16 at London\u2019s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, preparing her technically for the many varied parts she was to play in her future.<\/p>\n

Cast in memorable leads in both film and television, it was in the long-running, television-nighttime soap opera,\u00a0Dynasty<\/em>, where Collins became a US and international household name.<\/p>\n

Dynasty\u00a0<\/em>ran for nine years, and was the number one rated television show in the US in 1985.<\/p>\n

Excelling in parts as the bad-girl protagonist, Joan, with her sultry-dark beauty, was often referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the world.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Queen Elizabeth II named Joan a dame \u2013 the female equivalent of a knight \u2013 in recognition of her charitable work.<\/p>\n

As with many stars who crisscross the globe filming, it was convenient to have glamorous homes in locations where they spent the most time.<\/p>\n

And Joan Collins, still shockingly glamorous at age 87, made reference to her real estate holdings last year in an interview with Express, saying that she \u201cliked to work, . . . how else would she support four homes!\u201d<\/p>\n

But Joan sold her Hollywood home in 2017 and has now also decided to let her New York apartment go.<\/p>\n

She has been living in London but summers at her home in Saint-Tropez in the South of France and spends time on her yacht in the harbour.<\/p>\n

Not to do things in a small way, Joan\u2019s New York apartment in the Dorchester in Midtown Manhattan is a combination of three units in a white glove co-op only a few blocks to Central Park, fine dining and shops.<\/p>\n

She and fifth-husband, film-producer Percy Gibson, purchased it in 2002 when they were first married.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
