Rest In Peace ..Jackie Collins..She was a fun girl. Joan's little Sister. And she wrote some fun trash.

Oh gosh. I'm so sorry to her that.

Her sister Joan is amazing too.

Thank you for this notice. Every death is a tragedy, and I know Ms. Collins' family and friends will miss her, greatly. World literature. . . perhaps a little less ;-)

Whatever do you mean Ambi? Lmao

I always thought her work would rise to the level of Shakespeare.

Well I see it this way.. She was no Shakespeare..But She had over 32 Best Sellers according to The NewYork Times Best Sellers List.
Sold over 500 Million ( Yes 500 Million ) Books..I would say. The Girl did alright. Don't believe me ?? Look it up.
Not bad for our Dear Joan's little sister.......Johnny...

I think she did more than alright Johnny. She has written books that have entertained and will entertain millions for years to come.

In her final days she was as cheeky, courageous and stiff upper lip as ever, in fine British fashion. Gravely ill and just a few days before her passing from breast cancer, she gave an interview on British tv saying that she always researches all the sexual positions used by the characters in her books. And the recent exertion from such endeavors was why she looked so exhausted to viewers of the show.

Bravo Jackie!

I read a bit more about her in this morning's newspapers. She indeed sold over 500 million books, and who am I to talk about reading "trashy" books, as my favorite reading are gay porn stories, so while Jackie wrote about heterosexuals, the subject matter was much the same. If it entertains folks, we will buy it and read it, and she brought a lot of entertainment to a lot of people in her lifetime.
