JACKIE COLLINS TALKING ABOUT ________ ????

Dear Jackie,

I know that you can hear the audio in this video clip but that's because you are tuned into your past, present, and future. For the rest of us, we have to read aloud the following transcription. This is from when I interviewed you *so* long ago! ;) This bit is from when you are talking about Fontaine Khaled, my *first* favorite Jackie Collins character...
(cue: play video now and read the following)
"Fontaine is a woman who’s completely obsessed with herself and what she can get out of life. She really doesn’t have a lot of integrity; she’s out for everything. She is a consumer in every way. She wants the best car, the best fur. She doesn’t care that it’s not politically correct to wear a fur. She wants the best men; she wants sex when she wants it. To Fontaine sex is a game and she plays Tony Blake."- Jackie Collins

JACKIE COLLINS ON THE INDIAN RESERVATION

"If it was 100 years ago, I would be sitting by the camp fire saying, "Let me tell u a story..."

SUNDAY BEST: BROOKE SHIELDS (AS CARRIE FROM JACKIE COLLINS' CHANCES)

"Carrie lay on the bed and gazed at the ceiling. She was back in business. It was a day to remember. December 7, the same day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The next day America declared war on Japan. America declared war. And she was a whore again."

— Jackie Collins (Chances)

JACKIE COLLINS FACT: HARD AT WORK

Celebrity biographer Marshall Terrill says, "Everyone seems to think (writing ) is a glamorous profession or something they can do if they don’t want to get a real job. The reality is that it is extremely hard work. People think that writing a book is a warm and fuzzy experience and an easy lifestyle. If you talk to any published author, you’ll find that’s not the case. I once interviewed Jackie Collins and I asked her about her work ethic. She puts in 8 to 10 hours a day on the computer."

ROCK & ROLL (CRAVAT HUNK) MICK JAGGER INSPIRED JACKIE COLLINS

Jackie Collins pontificates about The Stud:
Sarah Baker: Tony Blake, The Stud, is a highly sexualized character. Tell us about this sexualized male character in relation to popular culture...
Jackie Collins: I know. Well, he was based on a real life character that ran a discothèque that my husband owned. And that’s what happened, I mean, the women would come in and discuss him like a piece of meat. He was actually having an affair with a very young girl and there was the older woman and I observed the whole thing. He’s an interesting character to write about because- don’t forget, The Stud came out 1969 or 1970 so it was the end of the 60s, the end of an era. The Stud was the guy that women really went after as opposed to guys going after women. It was the time of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Everybody was just becoming famous, the swinging 60s of London.

JACKIE COLLINS FAVORITE PAINTER, BERYL COOK, EXHIBITS AT TATE BRITAIN

Dear Jackie,

You won't believe this but Beryl Cook is finally in an exhibition at the Tate Britain! Remember back in 2008 when I interviewed you and asked you about the fact that Beryl Cook was excluded from the Tate, though her work is very popular with the British public. Do you think its just a coincidence that she is finally included in the high art establishment now that she is dead?

It could also be due to the fact that the Tate curators have put together a noteworthy exhibition, "Rude Britannia: British Comic Art" and finally Beryl Cook's paintings work within the exhibitions brightly colored walls. I can tell you that there are some people in the Tate that are moving in a highly progressive curatorial direction and giving recognition to artists and movements who have in the past been considered too low brow. I mean, what is taste anyway? And why bother with it?

Jackie, you have obviously recognized Beryl Cook's talents for years before she was critically cool and kudos to you that your LA home is completely covered in Beryl Cook paintings. We can see your exquisite collection clearly in this picture and in this picture. Well, Jackie, it's only going to be a matter of time before the Tate Britain is contacting you to borrow some of your collection for the overdue Beryl Cook Retrospective!

CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS WITH SARAH AND FONTAINE FROM THE STUD

It would be rather amusing to have Tony here for a few days. Show the sexy animal off. Tony would love New York. I could buy him some clothes, show him the city...
I dressed carefully. Lunch at 21 with Sarah, wife of the man I'd had the two-hour affair with. I knew she wanted to tell me about her latest lover. The gossip around town is that he was a Chinese waiter. Well Sarah has always been kinky, so I wasn't surprised.
Sarah would adore Tony. She's a very well educated society matron in her 30's, thin and beautiful; we used to model together. Sarah looked divine. She wore yellow, this season's Dior; I was a little more avant garde in Yves Saint Laurent.
We started with champagne cocktails and ordered melon and steak. Life is a permanent diet. "Tell me all," I demanded. She smiled dreamily. "Fontaine, my darling, if you haven't tried the mysteries of the East you haven't lived..."

-Jackie Collins, The Stud (1969)
