On a trip to France's Côte d'Azur this summer, Dame Joan Collins went boating, caught up with some longtime friends and posed for Harper's Bazaar Arabia. The former Dynasty vixen, who turned 91 in May, still has more energy than many women decades younger. "I refuse to be defined by a number, by an age," Joan says. "I think that's terribly old-fashioned and not relevant in today's world."
Staying active has always been Joan's fountain of youth. She recently toured England with her one-woman show, Joan Collins Unscripted, and now she's gearing up to play Wallis Simpson, the late Duchess of Windsor, in a film. "A question I'm often asked is, 'Why are you still working?"" Joan says. "It's such a fatuous thing to say. I keep on working because I love being busy."
