The World According to Joan
"...In Joan Collin's latest memoir, she shares her life experience with her trademark humour and wisdom. From manners to men, via fashion and family to ageing and marriage, she takes on subjects close to every womans heart..."-- Publisher description.
Possessed
'I've been protected by studio publicity men most of my life, so in some ways I'm a goddam image, not a person. I was a commodity, a piece of property... I felt an overwhelming obligation to my career, and so I was an actress first, a wife second. I worked almost constantly, and even when I wasn't working, there was that image thing of looking like a star, conducting myself like a star. I just went ahead like a bulldozer. I was a very selfish woman.' Joan Crawford was a complex, contradictory, driven human being, but not the alcoholic, sadistic monster depicted in the notorious book, Mommie Dearest, which appeared a year after her death.

Notes from an Italian Garden
Thirty years ago Joan Marble and her sculptor husband, Robert Cook brought an unpromising piece of land near the little hamlet of Canale, north of Rome, that was the home to the ancient Etruscans.

'Why do you want to have a garden here?' they were asked. 'There's no water, the ground is like cement, it's too cold in winter and too hot in summer, it never rains, it rains too much, the roads are impassable...' But Joan and Robert's enthusiasm for the land, their ignorance of the obstacles that faced them and their downright obstinacy - all served to conquer the intransigent terrain.

And That's Not All
Joan Plowright was a north country girl who came to London, acted at the Royal Court Theatre - and married England's greatest actor, Laurence Olivier. She recalls what began as an illicit romance by drawing on the love letters they wrote to each other. Here for the first time Joan Plowright talks intimately about life with Olivier - not always easy as she is the first to admit. Their marriage produced three children and a theatrical partnership that helped launch what became the National Theatre. The story of the ups and downs of the National's early years has never been told so frankly. In And That's Not All Joan Plowright reveals herself as a natural raconteur: her memoirs are a delight.
