<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">From
childhood I loved Enid Blyton and Charles Dickens. But I had nightmares

he is wonderfully descriptive.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The
last good book I read was Can I Go Now? The Life Of Sue Mengers,
Hollywood’s First Superagent, which was really engaging. My favourite

listen to Magic FM when I am in London, or Riviera Radio when we are in

copied it when I edited my school magazine a bit later, calling it Much
Binding in the Fourth Form. Then there was The Goon Show, which came a

She was more than a sister to me. I considered her a true and
wonderful friend (whose advice I didn’t always listen to, unfortunately,
and to my disadvantage). She and I understood and empathised with each
other more than practically anyone I know and I felt her loyalty to me
was unbounded and her love was unconditional. We shared so many of the
same memories and confided in each other without fear. We gossiped and
giggled when we were together and loved to go see the latest movies at
weekend morning showings at our favourite Los Angeles shopping centre.<br />
My sister always believed that truth is much stranger than fiction.
This is why she became one of the most successful and top-selling
novelists in the world. There were many imitators, but only <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/jackie-collins" title="">Jackie Collins</a>
could tell you what really went on in the fastest lane of all. From
Beverly Hills bedrooms to glittering rock parties and concerts, from
stretch limos to the mansions of the power brokers, Jackie’s books
chronicled the truth, which she knew from the inside looking out.<br />

Director Louis Malle called her a “raunchy moralist” and <i>Vanity Fair</i>
referred to her as “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust”. She gave millions
of her readers an unrivalled inside knowledge of Hollywood and the
glamorous lives of the rich, famous and infamous. “I write about real
people in disguise,” she once said. “If anything, my characters are
toned down – the truth is much more bizarre.”Born in London on 4 October 1937, Jackie started writing
exciting stories at the age of 10, and made her schoolmates pay to read
them. Expelled from school in her early teens, she became an actor for a
while, appearing with Roger Moore in <i>The Saint</i>, Dirk Bogarde in <i>Cocktails in the Kitchen</i> and Alec Guinness in <i>All at Sea</i>. But it was the writing she adored and in 1968 she wrote the groundbreaking novel <a class=" u-underline" data-component="in-body-link" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://bookshop.theguardian.com/world-is-full-of-married-men.html" title=""><i>The World Is Full of Married Men</i></a>. It became a sensation because of its open sexuality and how it dealt honestly with the double standards between men and women.<br />

Jackie was always an advocate for equality. She believed deeply that
children should grow up in a world where they are accepted for who they
are and not where they come from or what sex they’re born. This great
legacy will live on in the many terrifically entertaining and
page-turning novels.<br />
And she was tireless. In spite of raising three children and
accompanying her husband, Oscar Lerman, to his nightclub, Tramp, several
times a week, she still managed to write more than a dozen bestsellers
in the next 15 years. She then moved to Beverly Hills where she wrote 20
more – all bestsellers.<br />

She always put other people, particularly her family, ahead of
herself, and she had more concern for others than she did for herself,
even to the end. She tried to keep her illness to herself for many years
to avoid saddling people she cared for with grief. Anyone who knew
Jackie would tell you how courageous and selfless she was.<br />
This was one of the reasons for her great success, both in her
personal and professional life, and why she was loved and admired by so
many people. She was a strong, independent, loyal, caring, maternal,
fun-loving, witty, generous woman.<br />
Her
generosity was limitless and she never forgot to send a thank you note
or Christmas card to everyone she worked with. Her munificence at
Christmas was without par and no one could keep up with the lavish gifts
she heaped upon her family and friends.<br />

<br />
She was a woman of contrasts. She was completely disciplined about
her writing but somehow also managed to watch practically every major TV
show on air, and the various DVRs scattered throughout her house were
constantly “on record”. She would shop at Tiffany’s but you would
also be likely to see her at the bargain stores. She loved staying home
and cooking for her family but she also loved the buzz and theatre of
restaurant life. And although she was fearless about living alone in an
enormous house, she couldn’t face a spider or cockroach.<br />
The loss of Jackie has caused a massive hole in my heart. Like the
Grand Canyon, I can’t ignore it, walk around it or get over it. I must
simply face its empty majesty and it will remind me of my beautiful,
brave and ballsy sister.Legendary Damehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18054158541568306555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341475350391550384.post-7992213020580202292015-11-19T14:39:00.004-05:002015-11-19T14:39:53.829-05:00VANTAGE MAGAZINE ...

I just throw on my foundation and lipstick, which takes one minute to go to the gym, but if I’m going to a shoot or a red carpet event it can take me up to an hour!</span></div>
