Confessions of a Hollywood bride: My favourite celebrity weddings, from Bogart and Bacall to Taylor and Burton

THE TELEGRAPH
By Joan Collins

I guess I know a thing or two about weddings. As I told Ivana Trump when she asked if I would be one of her 25 bridesmaids at her last nuptials: “Darling, I’m afraid I can’t – you see I’m always the bride, never the bridesmaid.” I’ve been wed five times and although that seems a lot I discount two marriages.
After all, I started when I was 18, because in those days a young girl got married and did not sleep around. I had admired the photograph of 18-year-old Elizabeth Taylor a couple of years previously at her marriage to hotel heir Nick Hilton. How pure and virginal she looked in her satin gown, and obviously madly in love.

The shot is among a selection of wedding photographs of Hollywood stars from the Twenties onwards, in a forthcoming book entitled Weddings and Movie Stars.


But the marriage was not to last. A few months later my Aunt Pauline told me she had been on the beach in Cannes where the Hiltons were honeymooning and had seen a miserable Elizabeth sitting alone while her new groom preferred spending his days gambling at the casino. Needless to say the union lasted less than a year, but she went on to have seven more!

Joan Collins’ trip includes chat with Dynasty fan Celine Dion

“It was the absolute perfect little break from Hollywood,” said English actress Joan Collins as she wrapped up a four-day mini-Las Vegas vacation at the Venetian. The famed Dynasty star was the picture of Tinseltown glamour as she checked into the hotel after driving here in a vintage Rolls Royce across I-15.

Close friend Judy Bryer, her former assistant and stand-in who now lives in Las Vegas, joined Joan on a gondola ride in the Grand Canal at the Venetian. Seventy-something Joan gushed style in a fedora and with a white Chanel purse. She laughed, “That felt like we were right in Italy!”  The two ladies continued their girl’s day with an afternoon of shopping at Barney’s while husbands Percy Gibson and Max Bryer played a round of golf at Spanish Trail Country Club. Joan and Percy had driven over specifically to see Celine Dion’s new show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and were surprised to discover when they went backstage to meet the superstar that she was a big fan of Dynasty.

Joan Collins and Raquel Welch the seventy-something sirens show younger starlets how to glam it up

When Joan Collins bemoaned the lack of glamour in modern Hollywood last year, she caused something of an outrage.  But never let it be said that the indefatigable Brit doesn't put her money where her mouth is, because the 77-year-old is prepared to tackle the problem single-handedly.  Not that she had to at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday, where she attended the the John Wayne Cancer Institute's 26th Odyssey Ball, however, because she was ably abetted by Raquel Welch, 70. 

   

In red and cream gowns respectively, Welch and Collins laid on a veritable masterclass on how to look glamorous.  It would've made their late friend, the late Elizabeth Taylor, proud. Both women accessorised their stunning floor-length gowns with tiny clutch bags - the ultimate in impractical glamour because you can't fit anything into them.  And their impeccably made up faces were framed by big hair and the kind of chandelier earrings associated with Collins' tenure in Dynasty.
