Beacon of glamour Joan Collins, 77, has hit out at the actresses of today, sating that they are nothing compared to the actresses of the age of the classic Hollywood beauty.
Unlike the ‘golden age’ of film (and yes, those immortal words “back in my day” do spring to mind), she says the public is now ‘starved of gorgeous people’.
She says: ‘When I was young, everybody on screen was gorgeous.
‘I have to say, there aren’t that many good looking actresses around today. I mean, there’s Angelina Jolie and there’s... Angelina Jolie.
‘Jennifer Aniston is cute, but I wouldn’t call her beautiful. She’s no Ava [Gardner] or Lana [Turner].’
In an interview with Hello! magazine, she points to this void of beauty as the reason a certain Cheryl Cole has so enchanted the nation.
She said: ‘Perhaps actresses of today, in their desire to be “taken seriously”, feel that being groomed and well put together detracts from their ability.
'Yes, I know fashions change and everyone attempts to look up-to-date but the movie-star styles of the Twenties, Thirties, Forties and Fifties changed radically each decade. What didn’t change, however, was their individual style; they were all one-offs.’
