Joan: My 'Rolls-Royce' genes keep me young

Hollywood star looking good aged 90

- MARK JEFFERIES

ACTRESS Joan Collins has put her youthful looks down to "good genes" and "a life lived in moderation".

The Hollywood star, who played scheming Alexis Colby in hit 1980s TV show Dynasty, looks much  younger than her 90 years.

Asked how she maintains her looks, Joan said: "Largely, I chalk it up to good genes. My father and sister all had the youthful looks and so does my brother.

"But also, to a life lived with moderation.

"If you're lucky enough to be given a Rolls-Royce, you have to maintain it, after all." Londoner Joan said she and her novelist sister Jackie, who died aged 77 in 2015, both lacked confidence when they were young.
