- In-depth interview with actresses Linda Evans and Joan Collins about their time on the 1980's TV show "Dynasty". They discuss how they got their iconic roles of Krystle Carrington and Alexis Colby, the show's appeal, the fashions they wore, and their legendary on-screen catfights. In addition, they share their memories of late colleagues Rock Hudson and Aaron Spelling, and talk about working with John Forsythe, who was still alive at the time of this interview.
Other topics include their upcoming play "Legends", aging issues, and their personal lives. Joan talks about her marriage to Percy Gibson, a man thirty years her junior, and her lawsuit against publishing giant Random House, while Linda discusses her previous relationships with actor John Derek and New Age musician Yanni. - Zábava
There will never be another show that could even be compared to Dynasty. This TV show ran for 9years. And from beginning to end. I lived!!!!! For Weds evenings to see this show. I mean it gave people everything. Money,Power, Fashion and then some....Yesssss
agreed! I'm rewatching it now & oh boy...i'm obsessed!
I am on season 8 right now.
Agreed. I love this show. Got me through my childhood.
10 years if you count the reunion miniseries that aired in 1991
You had to be there in that time. Nothing exists in a vacuum, and watching it now is just sort of camp. Please somebody get me a time machine!
Linda has such a down to earth very humble sense of herself. Her voice is soothing too.
These Ladies ARE the Legends
Yes I think Joan Collins and Linda Evans are both great ladies long may they reign and seeing some of the older pictures of Joan Collins she was and is so beautiful what a lovely shape her face is and her bone structure is great after being mistreated by that man she married years ago I truly hope she is happy now and Linda Evans too❤
I saw Joan one day in Beverly Hills shopping at Neiman Marcus. She had no makeup and plainly dressed.....and still a head turner!
Supper
So jealous. Love her. Stunning and her acting was flawless! Born to play Alexis.
Joan Collins is a natural beauty
As if a woman like Joan Collins would ever go out without makeup 😂
Yes I doubt you saw her that way. It must have been a look alike.
It's 2021.... I just turned 40 an im so happy that i got the DVD set coming in the mail
Sweet
I've loved having all 9 series, plus The Colby's, during lock down. The perfect escape. Kept me sane enjoying the insanity! Happy Birthday btw!
You. Are. So. LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, were did you order ?
I love the way Linda talked about Rock Hudson. So much compassion!
stu wilks K
👌
Aaron made some great shows, he had the brains to hire Joan to play Alexis, it was one of the best decisions made to cast an Actress in a role.
YES!
True He did well in a lot of his choices in picking his stars. He was really great at what he did.
And what's crazy is that Heather Locklear changed the state of Melrose Place, just like Joan did all those years before (both were Spelling productions)
Aaron’s wife supposedly recommended Joan to him for the part
Joan is an hack of an actress
Joan Collins will always be one of my fashion idols - fashionista ❤️🙂
Both great women. Wow, they still look gorgeous. And they're talented, too.
Joan is brilliant. Linda is a genuinely nice person
Do you know them?
@@jellebigge do you?
I don't know them but I think Bo Derek who said she stole Linda Evans' husband when she was young said that Linda Evans Is a really great person since she was able to forgive her for her indiscretions and was decent enough to be part of her documentary. I hope I read it right. I might check out the documentary. Don't know about Joan though. I do hope both ladies are lovely in person. .
Linda is an absolutely lovely person!
Such a great show. Watching John and Joan was almost irresistible back then. Anyone else remember it being Wednesday night... and just having to be home to watch Dynasty??
YES! Not one eposide missed! She made my childhood much more memorable and exiting! I wanted to be like her as I grow up. Dont remember what day it was aired. Cheers from Finland.
Every Wednesday night at 9pm! I was in high school and organized my week around not being able to miss it.. doing homework during commercials 🎉
I met Joan decades ago in Monaco, and to my surprise she's actually quite sweet and friendly.
Why does that suprise you
@@jellebigge I thought she would be like Alexis 🤣
She DID look like Alexis tho, all glammed up and dripping in diamonds .
@@azabujuban-hito8085 Maybe you thought she would make a scene en throw a vase at you ;-)
She's a Tory
@@Irishgui83 Thats great
Joan Collins " I'm a pretty good actress I did play it quit well !" I just love her insights 😁
She has to! King is being so dismissive
I must admit that Dàme Joan Collins ages chronologically like a fine wine. She's still very youthful fòr her age. Linda Evan's is also looking good. The two of them were great in Dynasty.
I saw Legends when they toured!!! It was a BLAST! I went with my mom and aunt and we were all big fans of the show. Very fun memory and I’m glad to have found this to verify this even happened! 🤣. Who would ever think they would come back together
Two of the most beautiful women that ever graced television..and a huge part of the lives of so many of us during the 80's. What a wonderful interview..thanks for the upload! =)
What a stupid thing to say .........
@@shellc6743 What's wrong with you
You could feel the pain in Linda’s voice when she was talking about wanting children. God bless her 💕💕💕 it’s a tough regret to have..
I met Linda years ago she was very sweet in person
Twaddles McGee, I met the both of them in Boston after Legends, Linda was a sweetheart, Joan was nasty. Very true.
That is imaginable..JC plays (who knows if its real ) her part....😩
I spent an entire weekend with Joan, and she was such a bitch, but i loved her.
I m sure Linda Evans really is a wonderful lady Twaddles MC GEE
@@roberta.lofgrenjr.9182 Is that true Robert ? Linda Evans was nice and Joan Collins was not nice thank you for sharing that
in this day and age of internet and social media Dynasty may have been ever bigger than it was in the 80's.
you tube 425 Linda is quite graceful. Joan is annoying and self-absorbed.
@@rogerjoseph8522 i think it's just their backgrounds combined with very different experience.. linda grew up in california and built her career on television, so she always felt like the down to earth all-american girl next door, while joan was raised in a showbiz family and trained at the royal academy before being brought over in the era of the old hollywood studio system where they taught you how to walk, how to talk, how to dress, how to do an interview, etc, so i think she just tends be more guarded and defaults to a persona she was trained to believe the public expects from a "star", so i wouldn't judge her too harshly based on high profile interviews booked for publicity..
@@rogerjoseph8522 Both ladies are fabulous
Joan and Linda really have great chemistry
How sweet of Joan and Linda to sing his praises.....classy ladies !
Linda elegantly dodges the question of whether she and Joan got along in real life, but she has said on British TV that Joan was very difficult to work with.
Who can doubt that?
Joan and Linda work so well together, they are a fantastic contrast. I love the way Joan kind of rolls her eyes when Linda says that she went to an enlightenment school and went "inward"- hysterical. Joan is very down to earth and Linda is up in the air, they are yin and yang!!!
Messylin two people who lives are different what the problem. Ms Evans did her own thing..☺️✌🏾
Maybe you saw a different interview JC down to earth....I can not anymore ...
TV Legends being interviewed by a media legend. That was well worth the time to see. Thank you for posting.
You're most welcome.
The more I learn about Linda Evans the more I am impressed. She even pays sincere compliments to a man who treated her incredibly hurtful and left her for a teenager he had an affair with.
I couldn’t do that. Wonderful woman!
I Was a Dynasty fan in the 80 's . I love those two fashion beautiful and glamour LADYs especially J.Collins.
Oh my goodness, I love both of them,I watched them as a child and just thought they are so beautiful glamorous and such good actresses.
Larry King was really awful at the end towards Linda, asking her about not having kids. You can see it is painful topic for Linda- she always wanted children and never got a chance to have them. Totally disrespectful.
right. so said
Rewatching dynasty I’m convinced Linda is manly
Yes I agree 💯
i love dynasty ... i love Joan ...
I think if they really hated each other we would'nt get that chemistry,,,i love and respect both characters,,,,i watch the videos over and over again i am fully entertained,,,thank you Alexis and Krystle
Joan and Linda got really well, it was Joan and John Forsythe who didn’t get on
I agree with Joan that the clothes in Dynasty were central to the show. Unless you were around back then most people wouldn't realise the incredible impact the show had on fashion. Those clothes were flattering and wonderful. They were 1940s revival fashions and the lines and silhouettes defines the whole decade. It was true "dressing up" / since then no one "dresses up" anymore they dress down.
I long for the comeback of pleated slacks for women - so flattering
@@escherita True!
I absolutely love this interview. Legends was engaging, fun, fast-paced and bitchy. It was excellent.
Great interview but I especially like how Joan Collins keeps bringing the focus back to their play 'Legends' She stays on point.
That is one of the best interviews of Larry King. You could tell he was smitten by Joan and Linda. Joan still very beautiful but Linda's face looks very different, but she seems always calm and peaceful. Best wishes to both of them.
Both ladies look amazingly gorgeous
I was a Dallas girl, but after all these years I just might watch dynasty.
Both are iconic legends forever 👍👍
Linda does seem like a very nice lady. Thoroughly enjoyed that interview. Class ladies
I remember the rumors/tabloid covers during the show that said Linda and Joan hated each other. Apparently LIES. They are very pleasant together and their is an obvious camaraderie.
Linda is so beautiful inside and out such a lovely lady.
They were the reason everyone watch this show awesome times
Larry King does the best interviews. Thanks Mr King for asking the questions we all would have wanted to hear.
MAJOR3058 Exactly. Lol
I'm not sure if he catches them off guard or if they were warned before coming on the air. Either way, interviews don't get better than Larry King and Barbara Walters in her day.
We're almost 20 years later and Joan hasn't changed a bit. She has THE best surgeon for sure!
Love Die-nasty ( as my daddy use to love to call it). Watching all nine seasons on Amazon Prime. Missed a lot because I was a kid and it was my bed time when it aired.
Seeing the complete Dynasty again (currently running on POP Tv, formally TVguide Channel) is a real kick. I wasn't an avid watcher back in the day (always preferred Dallas and Knots), but now I get why it was such a mega hit ... the score, the sets, the story lines, the acting; it's really was quite special.
Dynasty was a Soap Opera; a nighttime Soap Opera, but still... better I guess to call it a 'Soap-Drama'. People get totally addicted to them. You sit quietly, unnoticed, somewhere in the corner of the room, - and watch this family, - love and hate, - cry and laugh;
and suddenly your not alone, you're a part of it all. Super interview 👍.
Thanks for posting this treasure :)
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE JOAN.
He didn't ask about how they felt wearing millions of dollars worth of jewelry! That would have been my second question after the fighting.
J’aime cette série et tous les acteurs principaux à chaque fois quand je vois une scène je suis toujours replongée dans les années 80 j’avoue que Dynastie avec la famille Carrington nous a ouvert les yeux sur les souffrances cachées des familles aisées
Merci à Dynastie
To think both of them were in that show until the end is amazing and such a reward. They’ve made their legacy and it lives on today love em ❤️💖🌸
Larry is so rude here and assuming here. very annoying, but Linda and Joan are so charming and sweet!
this was just his style.. . and at the time, he really was the king of this format.. i'm sure the ladies knew exactly what they were signing on for and i doubt they found him rude.
He was always rude.
What beautiful, classic women.
That used to be my favorite show.
I loveeeeeee Joan Collins and her British wit and flair. Linda Evans (oops there I say it) reminds me a little of a blond Cher here
Very nice to go back in time
Two beautiful women....he is lucky to interview them.
What do you call Joan Collins abroad she should have called him an old fart
Two amazing beautiful women
They were throwing so much shade at each other but OH SO CLASSY‼️‼️‼️ Their dynamic indeed is very interesting
I feel like Linda is more articulate than Joan. What do you think?
Dynasty and Knots Landing was the best night time soaps!!
Oh no there was one number one...dallas!!!
Joan still looks great
I watch every day I like the show
Wow -- really impressed with both of those actors.
Love how he calls Joan a "broad" and she nearly does a spit take.
King is being a total richard toward her.
Linda, he puts on a pedestal.
I used to hate Krystle’s hairstyles when I was younger watching the show but now as an adult and hairstylist I like them lol
Im so tickled watching this listening to classic rock and soul music on Amazon music
People just don't physical fights anymore. Now it's twitter.
Yeah, the cowardly way and in front of everyone. :/
😂😂😂😂
This was NOT a real reunion without Dominique Devereaux, Diahann Carroll's character! There would be no Dynasty without her
It was amazing that two older women were the lead characters ...
Linda Evans is stunning
I’m team Joan, Linda is a lovely lady too
Joan Collins 4EVER!!!!! LOVE
Linda Evans looks like the mother of Rachel Hunter
I love how Joan collins says she tried to get in touch with spelling when he was sick but "he wasnt taking any calls". then Linda steps in and says oh I just spent some time with him 8 months ago.... LOL
SHADE
LOL! Yes, Spelling made Linda's and Forsythe's salary renegotiations easy because they were nice to people, but he made Collins' renegotiations much harder because Joan always tried to be "difficult" for purposes of establishing status -- and while that might have impressed some producers, not Aaron Spelling. He knew DYNASTY had to have Joan, but he wasn't going to reward her questionable on-set behavior too easily... So much so that once he was dying, he never bothered to speak with Collins or return her calls, yet he invited Forsythe and Evans to his house! Ha!
RIP #LarryKing
Back in the day when people had class.
Sadly, the play "Legends" did not live up to expectations. The reviews were bad. Also, the experience between the two during the play run dissolved quickly. Joan did something to Linda that was very hurtful. She sold or gave Linda diary to a London tabloid. I was told this by the actor who portrayed Adam Carrington on "Dynasty" one time he came to me when I was doing massage therapy in Los Los Angeles.
Oh wow.
George Hirst I’ve always believed Joan was jealous of Linda ( Linda wasn’t that kind of lady that acted like) . Linda ruled the 80s , she did what she needed to do and bounced out of Hollywood ✌🏾. Jealous always try to loud talk or 1 up, . Just observed. The best to both of them.☺️✌🏾
@@tanedasmith9370 She had to be jealous of Linda. Linda won the Peoples' Choice Award year after year in the 80's.
2 beautiful ladies, love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️❤️
An ailing Aaron Spelling wouldn’t take Joan’s get-well calls but was willing to have a sit-down dinner with Linda Evans and John Forsythe? Meow!
Didn't Linda mention that dinner was some months before his demise? And I believe Joan didn't mention when she placed the call. Could have been closer timewise, to his demise. Joan in London. Aaron in L.A. Eight hours difference with time zones. Not only his illness, but an inconvenience if he was bedridden & phone calls were intrusive. Linda in the same time zone. ETC.
@Timothy Chung What are you referencing to, 13/14 hours?
According to Joan she demanded equal pay and Forsythe insisted he be paid more than everyone else on the show and they catered to him.
A bit of a dig
RIP Larry King
❤BEAUTIFUL❤ legends❤we will never forget ❤
funny how they got bored at the end but imo s9 is one of the best
Its 6/19/24 Watching Dynasty right now on Pluto tv
I adore Linda n Joan. I don't care how old they r
The things that they do to each other is funny all under the guise that they’re friendly
During this interview or otherwise?
I love the catfights and obvious stunt doubles! I swear some of those stunt doubles are men. What about Krystle fighting with her lookalike, Rita (also played by Linda Evans)? That was Dynasty's most hilarious fight EVER.
+David G. More like a dog-ghetto-fights. And it`s so low class and low eye-brow to do that... No self-respected lady would let herself down to that level. Please... Nor would of a rich lady, who runs a business empire.
The stunts were women. There’s a picture of Joan and Linda with their stunts somewhere and they did all their cat fights (or parts of them)
Joan is 73 here, but only looks 40.
Joan is incredibly beautiful and glamorous.
You obviously don’t know women in their 40s…😂
I loved Dynasty and Dallas - Falcon Crest was the best tho - Angela Channing was awsome
My 2 Favorite Beautiful Gorgeous Ladies ❤❤❤❤❤
Larry: “So you get top billing?”
Joan: “Of course”
😂😂😂😂
Just noticed how Joan Collins was immeadiatly looking away at 2:30 when Linda Evans mentioned John Forsythe. Man she really hated him :D
Yes!! I noticed that too and wandered into the comments section to see if anybody else had and there was your comment! He didn't like her one bit - only because she ultimately was hands down the star people tuned in for.
i can not imagine anyone else will play Alexis,Alexis is Joan
Joan collins was the ish loved her bad movied and her good ones she did her thang and notably stood out
I love Alexis so much.
iam Alexis too
We all do💜
Not me ... she seems to be very pixilated . She also is always only Alexis .. in her private live . This is not much in her age ...why must she always be so craving ?
Joan Collins played Esther in the movie Esther and the King with Richard Egan as the king
They have chemistry off screen, too. If they did a buddy pic, it would work.
If only Joan could play the Alexis part one more time,
Joan ♥️
I would love to see joan collins without makeup. You can defitinitly see her natural beauty through all that make up. And she seems like a very nice person.
Joan Collins was on an episode of Fran Dreschers the Nanny
Collins is a Diva
