Joan Collins has been a Hollywood staple for many years and has an extensive career in the industry. She first burst onto screens in "Dynasty" and then found herself in many more famous roles.
Now, she is not as active in Hollywood, but she shares a beautiful relationship with her husband, to whom she has been married for many years. She has also recently talked about how she maintains her appearance.

Collins is an English actress who grew up in Paddington, London. When she moved to America, she had already established herself as a capable actress and was cast in many of 20th Century Fox's productions.
Being the beautiful and successful woman she was, Collins never had trouble finding love, yet she did have trouble keeping it close. The actress has been married five times, and it was not until she met her current husband that she finally got her happily ever after.
The actress is now married to Percy Gibson, who she met in 2002. Gibson was the manager of a company for whom Collins was in a play in San Francisco. The pair have a 31-year age gap, but it remains Collins' longest-standing marriage.
Gibson and Collins married in 2002 at Claridge's Hotel in London. Their age gap does not matter to the actress and Hollywood producer. Collins effused:
"I've finally found my true soulmate. And my husband forever.”
While Gibson and Collins are not bothered by their 31-year age difference, many others are. The couple has often been asked about the gap, to which Collins replies: "The fact that I was older didn't matter to us. It was giddy, it was fantastic, and Percy and I fell madly in love."
Collins has a beautiful sense of humor regarding questions about her being much older than her husband. Once, when asked if she thought she and her husband would have met when she was in her 30s, she joked it would be impossible because he wasn't yet born.
Gibson and Collins do not share any children, but Gibson is the stepfather of Collins' three children from previous marriages and treats them as his own. The couple split their time between living at the French Villa in St. Tropez, a home in LA, and one in England.
Collins and Gibson are endlessly supportive and encouraging of one another, even after all this time and are "madly in love." In fact, Gibson was the person who convinced Collins to post a recent Instagram post that showed off her body.
How Does Collins Show Her Legs at 89?
Collins had been in the entertainment industry for so long that she knew precisely how to add the wow factor to her life. Most recently, she did this by posting a photo of her bare legs on Instagram.

The photo shows Collins standing in a doorway wearing a pink and white striped shirt and no pants. Yet she does wear a pair of black pantyhose as she pops one knee and points her toes.
Collins rests her hand on her hip and smiles at the camera in the photo as she looks up from underneath her eyebrows. She mentioned in the caption that Gibson had "insisted" she post the image to honor #rednoseday.
She explained that she had been wearing the t-shirt and others like it to bed and then told her followers where they could purchase them and how much they would pay for them.
Yet, her t-shirt is not at all what fans were focused on. Instead, they were stunned by Collins' legs. One fan said Collins got better and better with age, while another gushed: "Those legs!" Some fans said she was what they aspired to be like when they were older, and another gushed:
"Absolutely stunning, fabulous legs, ageless beauty, with that impish smile."
However, this is not the first time Collins has shown her ageless beauty. She has never been shy to share her stunning appearance on social media. In December last year, she shared photos of herself in a swimsuit.

Her first photos were shared on Boxing Day 2022. The first showed Collins with a stylish updo and black sunglasses lounging in a swimming pool wearing a cheetah print swimsuit and silver earrings.
The next showed her opening Christmas presents, while the one that followed showed her and Gibson in the same pool as before. Her last photo showed her having dinner with friends.
Three days later, Collins shared a photo of herself and Gibson in the pool again. She wore the same swimsuit, but in these photos, she had paired it with a wide-brimmed, white sun hat.
What is the Secret to Collins' Ageless Beauty?
While her fans enjoyed the photos she shared in her swimsuit and the one she posted showing off her legs, many could not believe she was 39 and wanted to know how she did it.

She has kept a trim physique and gorgeous complexion the entire time she has been in Hollywood, and while she is not afraid to tell fans how she does it, it's not something attainable for everyone. She explains:
"I was born with the happy gene and the energy gene. What makes me happiest is seeing my children happy."

Although she acknowledges all the hard work she has done in her life, she never fails to realize how lucky she is. She says she knows she has more than she could ever need and is also healthy and fit, which is a bonus.
Unlike many women her age in Hollywood, Collins has never had facial plastic surgery. Instead, she focuses on a diet rich in vitamins C, E, and Omega oils. She also says avocados are beneficial to her beauty.
She tried botox once in her 70s but did not enjoy the experience, so she bought high-end beauty products instead. The actress believes a good foundation can disguise years of aging.

While she is happy to age gracefully, Collins is not as comfortable without any makeup. She always wears foundation to protect her skin from harmful elements and never goes without lipstick. She is an icon, indeed!
