Sometimes life can be just as compelling as fiction – and best-selling author Jackie Collins was proof of that. The late star, who passed away from breast cancer in 2015, aged 77, became an icon thanks to her fabulously raunchy romantic novels, unashamed ambition and penchant for all things leopard-print.
Her motto “Girls can do anything” and strong female characters inspired a generation of women to grab life by the horns. So when daughters Tracy, 59, Tiffany, 54, and Rory Lerman, 52, discovered countless diaries and an unfinished autobiography in Jackie’s home after her death, they knew she would have wanted the world to hear those words.
That’s when they approached John Battsek at Passion Pictures, who agreed that their mother’s story could and should be made into a film. With director Laura Fairrie at the helm, they joined forces with aunt Joan Collins and many of Jackie’s closest friends to create a film celebrating their mother’s wonderful life and legacy. Using her own words as its foundation, Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story covers her growing up feeling inferior to her glamorous film star sister, her tumultuous love life and marriages, the rise of her half-billion-selling book empire and her cancer diagnosis – which she kept secret.
Here, Tiffany tells OK! about giving her mum the final chapter she deserved, why she’ll always be the rock of the Collins family and plans to make a biopic about her relationship with Joan.
Hi, Tiffany. How did the film come about?
