The authors of the series - Spouses Richard and Esther Shapiro, and Producer Tentogsaga is the Great Television Aaron Spelling. The main roles of oil magnate Blake Carrington and his wife Crystal - performed John Forsight and Linda Evans. But it was with the advent of the Heroine Alexis Carrington in the second season of the project (later she will be Alexis Colby), the former wife Blake, whom Joan Collins played, his ratings were sharply jumped up.
In the second half of the 60th career, the actresses in the Big Cinema after several failed tapes went to a dead end and actually survived the second birth in 1981, when Joan was invited to the role of the virtual wife Blake. In 1983, the role of Alexis brought Actress to the Golden Globe Prize and at the same time, when she was 50, Joan starred for Playboy magazine.
The fate of the actress is similar to the fate of her heroine: Joan Collins, like Alexis Colby, was married more than once. Collins had five husbands and at least one reason for each of the four divorces. From the first husband - Maxwell Reed, the British actor, - the actress left after he decided to sell it to Arab sheikh. The second husband, British actor Anthony Newly, changed Collins and "believed that infidelity is a lifestyle and necessity." The third, producer Ron Kass, was a "glorious" drug addict. And the fourth - Swedish pop singer Peter Hill - "The biggest mistake in life." He not only changed Joan Collins, but also tried to sue her 2.6 million dollars. The last (at the moment) husband Collins became the theater manager of Percy Gibson - "the most noble" and young, younger wife for 32 years.
Here's how the actress comments on the details of the filming in the series, brought to her world fame:
- Dynasty became the first series in which a significant part of the budget was invested in scenery and costumes. "Costume artists created us such outfits that were difficult to imagine. Each character had his own unique style, "says the actress.
- During the surveys, the heroine was real jewelry worth a few million dollars: "We were accompanied everywhere two keeper's body so that no one stole these decorations, they even followed us in the lady's room. What time it was - we were asked: you want emeralds, diamonds, rubies? And we said: perhaps, we wear everything. It was just great! "
- The familiar episodes of "dynasty" are reviewed in a new way when you know what happened at this time behind the scenes. Especially the actress notes a bed scene Alexis and Cecil. "Most bed scenes were very difficult for us, because it was impossible to keep laughter. Especially in that scene, where we make love with Cecil Colby. His wig slipped all the time, and we laughed. All remembered this scene, "recalls Joan.
- In the TV series "Dynasty" for the first time on the screen of television, a hero-gay, bright fights of the main characters and even mass murder appeared. "My favorite" cat fight "(the branded sign" Dynasty "- the scene of the track between Alexis and Crystal. - Ed.) It was the one in which I was dressed as Queen Elizabeth I, and we fought over the mud bath. It was very funny".
Joan Collins confessed that the character of Alexis influenced her own. "After the" dynasty "I changed: Alexis brought me fame, but in eight years her terrible character put his imprint and on me," she admits. - Alexis is really a negative character, but at the same time it is a bright personality, against which good women look like dolls. For example, like Alexis, I also do not mind to start a novel on the side - let's assume that this is a revenge of my wrong husbands. But whom I never wanted to play, so this character Crystal Carrington. In the "dynasty", in my opinion, it is just a soft and unimustal. "
