Joan Collins, the British actress who played Alexis Carrington Colby in the '80s soap 'Dynasty,' has written a new memoir, where she described being faced with the casting couch.
When Joan Collins arrived in Hollywood, she received an ominous warning from Marilyn Monroe. The future 'Dynasty' star was at a party at Gene Kelly’s house when she spotted 'a nondescript blonde' by herself. 'I only met her once,' Collins told Fox News Digital. 'She was sitting at the bar at Gene Kelly’s house. Gene Kelly and a group of friends were talking animatedly about politics. She was looking lonely and lost.
Still, he persisted, Collins claimed. After her third test, the unnamed producer offered her a ride home 'in his flashy Bentley.' During the ride, Collins claimed he 'grabbed my hand and put it on his open fly.' 'I screamed in horror and yanked his hand away,' Collins wrote. ‘What’s the matter? Don’t you want the part?’ he leered. ‘Not that much,’ I cried, childishly bursting into tears as I realized I had blown my chances.
Collins also detailed how her agent secured her an interview with 'a very famous producer' for a part she wanted in a film. When she went to the producer’s office, his secretary was just leaving and told Collins to find him in a back room. 'I entered a bedroom, and a voice called, ‘Come on in,’ from another door,' Collins wrote. 'I tentatively walked in and there he was, lying in the bath without as much as a bubble to cover his embarrassment, with which he was tinkering.
While filming 1957’s 'Sea Wife,' Collins claimed that Burton, her co-star at the time, told her that he slept with all his leading ladies. Collins said she declined his offer and he 'barely spoke to me for the rest of filming.' A similar encounter allegedly occurred with George Peppard in the 1970 film 'The Executioner.
