Actress Joan Collins speaks at Port Huron Town Hall

Nancy Ichenberg couldn’t wait for actress Joan Collins to strut onto the stage at McMorran Theatre Monday morning.
“I used to watch her on “Dynasty” so I had to see her in person,” Ichenberg, of Smiths Creek, said. “She was such a villain.”
Collins covered much more territory than her nine years on the soap opera during Monday’s Port Huron Town Hall.
The longtime soap actress, who portrayed character Alexis Carrington on “Dynasty,” spoke of her acting heritage, her start in Hollywood, her years as a soap star and everything in between.
Throughout her career, Collins said she bore moments of adversity with a smile, but she never forgot the lessons she learned in Hollywood.
“Never trust anyone, particularly lawyers, agents and business managers and certain husbands,” she said.
Collins said she never encouraged her children to pursue an acting career.
“I think it’s a terribly overcrowded profession and a terribly difficult profession,” she said.
Her role as Alexis Carrington was one of the high points of her career, particularly because of the strength of the character, Collins said.
“I felt that Alexis did a lot to empower women,” she said.
Collins hoped her speaking schedule at places like Port Huron Town Hall would serve a similar purpose.
“I hope they’ll be entertained and, perhaps, empowered,” she said.
The actress was encouraged to take up a speaking circuit by fellow actor Gregory Peck. She begins a new speaking tour in England in April.

JOAN TELLS JUDY,,TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
"Fear In The Night" was one of the last of Hammer's cycle of suspense thrillers, in the style of "Les Diabolique" and "Psycho". It also proved to be the last film for Hammer, by their most prolific director and writer Jimmy Sangster. It was the films star Ralph Bates, 5th film for Hammer and his 2nd for Sangster, the other been "Horror of Frankenstein".  The script for "Fear in the Night" had been knocking around the studio since the 60's. It had begun life as a story called "Brainstorm" and went through various stages. Before it finally became "Fear", it had been called "The Claw" and had been set on a houseboat on the Thames. Sangster decided it needed a different angle and gave it to a friend, Michael Syson who reset it in a boy's boarding school. This relocation was enough to get the green light from Hammer bosses to film. Sangster was delighted with his cast and described the film as "The story of a young girl, primed to commit murder!"

JOAN GETS A HEAD START ON JUDY!

Peter Cushing was still mourning the death of his wife Helen, he had previously pulled out of Hammer's "Blood From The Mummy's Tomb" due to his grief, this was his first major role since her death. Joan was pregnant at the time of shooting the film, but she had failed to mention her condition when accepting the role! She had not said a word to the producers and the news of her pregnancy only came to light when the wardrobe mistress complained that Joan's costumes failed to fit! She asked the producers to tell Joan to stop eating! Joan eventually admitted to her condition and concessions were made! Joan said of her role.

" It's a marvellous script.. I love being the villian of the piece, instead of the heroine.. A real challenge!"







JOAN IS ARMED FOR MURDER!

Judy Geeson had just finished the classic "Ten Rillington Place" and had also co-starred with Joan in "The Executioner", while Ralph Bates would go on to star with Joan in the 1975 shocker "I Dont Want To Be Born". Hammer at that time were not doing too well at the box office, so they decided to release their films as double bills to try and generate better box office returns. "Fear in the Night" was released with another psychological thriller,"Straight on till Morning" which starred Rita Tushingham. But even a Hammer double bill failed to set the box office alight and Jimmy Sangster finished his lengthy run with the company. Box offie hit or not, "Fear in the Night" is a worthwhile thriller and it has an excellant cast, with Joan on fine form as the icy villainess!

Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys!

Dramatic Feature

106 minutes

Director: Leo McCarey

Joan Collins is steamy in this 1958 film based on a Max Shulman comic book. Starring with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Joan plays vamp Angela Hoffa, an ambitious gal who desperately wants her lunchbooks adopted by Harry. Her efforts lead to a dizzying series of recriminations and misunderstandings. Harry Bannerman (Newman), a Connecticut suburbanite who becomes involved in various shenanigans with his wife Grace Oglethorpe (Joanne Woodward), leads a protest movement against a secret army plan to set up a missile base in their community. The all star cast helped to make this film a racy success in the late 1950s. With Joan on board as the vamp, undoubtedly, raciness still abounds!
