What a life - and she's still living it

Well, that was nothing but fun! And considering that the subject of this most entertaining of show biz docs never came close to making a great film and damn few good ones, while competing for 80s TV schlock monarch with Larry Hagman, the reason must lie not with Ms. Collins' career, and certainly not with her four rather schlubby ex husbands, but with the amusing, chatty, occasionally bitchy, more frequently insightful and blessedly unpretentious personality of the dame herself. Give it a B.
Top 5 tidbits/anecdotes (in no particular order):
1) RFK propositioning her
2) Marilyn M warning her away from Zanuck
3) John Forsythe insisting in his contract on center billing on all "Dynasty" PR shots
4) Brando having no respect for his craft (somehow, I always suspected this)
5) Richard Burton as the mother of all skirt chasers.
