“Wishing our #indomitable #queenizabethII a #happybirthday- I’ve always loved meeting her @theroyalfamily.”
Collins is one of the recognized dignitaries in Hollywood, and she has earned her significance with years of hard work. Once speaking about challenges she faced, the “Dynasty” actress admitted fame was not an easy feat.
The 87-year-old recalled being young and pretty as she listened to discouraging opinions. She shared that she was once told that no one took pretty actresses seriously.
Collins was determined that this would not be her story. She shared in an interview that she felt unsupported as she built her acting profile. The actress noted that she experienced tough times.
The award-winning actress mentioned that she felt she got recognition when her looks were no longer the focal point. Collins remembered her dad did not believe she would be relevant beyond her 20s.
