Dame Joan Collins has left BBC viewers in awe after her appearance on The One Show, where she promoted her upcoming murder mystery film, A Murder Between Friends. The Hollywood legend, who turned 93 in May, joined hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp, along with fellow guest Adrian Lester, to discuss the project. Dressed in a pale blue blazer and a patterned midi dress, Collins sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.
Fans React to Joan Collins' Ageless Appearance
Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their amazement. One user wrote, "Can't believe Joan Collins is 93! #theoneshow," while another added, "Wow Joan Collins at 93! What a woman." On Instagram, Collins received an outpouring of compliments after sharing about her TV appearance. "Joan Collins looks incredible - it's as if time has stood still for her," commented one fan. Another remarked, "Watching now, looking stunning and elegant. Look forward to seeing it." A third fan noted, "Dear Joan looking stunning as ever tonight on The One Show and in such a lovely blue ensemble. Looking forward to the movie, can't beat a murder mystery."
About A Murder Between Friends
In the Agatha Christie-esque drama, Collins plays Francesca Carlyle, a legendary TV detective who faces a real-life murder. She stars alongside Jacob Young, Toby-Alexander Smith, Nadia Bjorlin, Simon Cotton, India Thain, Hana Vagnerova, Jim Borstelmann, and Espen Hatleskog. Collins revealed that she loosely based the character on her iconic Dynasty alter ego, Alexis Colby. "Well, this was written for me, Francesca Carlyle. She is quite flamboyant and very sassy and has a line of sarcasm that is quite like her cousin, Alexis Colby," Collins said. She added that the character lives in an old castle rumoured to be haunted, which she rents out to a group of 20-somethings for a weekend, leading to "ghastly things" happening.
Upcoming Projects for Joan Collins
Collins is also set to star in My Duchess, a biopic about the final years of Wallis Simpson, including her relationship with French lawyer Suzanne Blum. Directed by Mike Newell, the film features Isabella Rossellini as Blum and has yet to announce a release date. A Murder Between Friends will debut on digital platforms in the UK on 15 June.
