'Some stories from my amazing adventures in life I've only ever shared with friends... Until now!'
Dame Joan Collins has always believed one should retain some mystery in life, and hide a knowing smile behind one's shoulder pads. Returning in dazzling form, she shares her most memorable moments from a vibrant life in the limelight. From her early years as a young star in the golden era of Hollywood to stamping her stilettos in Dynasty; from the glittering heights of Saint Tropez to the busy Oscars season, join Joan as she takes you on an incredible journey through a life well-lived!
Filled with her most spectacular stories, including with the late Queen Elizabeth, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, Warren Beatty, Diana, Princess of Wales and many more, Behind the Shoulder Pads is a tour-de-force of shock and delight in equal measure.
Hilarious, intimate, and completely spellbinding, Joan invites you into her life like never before, sharing the stories she only tells her closest of friends.

An interesting window into another world
Having just finished Barbra Streisand’s tome of performances, the continual striving for perfection and a life devoted to political action and charity this was a different beast. Don’t get me wrong I was fascinated and enjoyed all the anecdotes, it just felt more superficial.

Exceptional
Such a delight to listen to. Dame Joan is so very grounded and experienced so many amazing times/locations/moments in history. Her family is everything and nothing is taken for granted. Loved it!

Joan Collins never fails to entertain
This is my third JC audiobook. In my opinion she is fabulous. Her zest for life in old age is incredible. She brings passion and personality. I love her attitude for life. 70 years in the industry is such an achievement. Throughout the book you can tell JC is very happy in life. A wonderful actor, mother, wife & friend who you can tell loves her family and has always put them first whilst managing her very successful amazing career. Looking forward to JC’s next audiobook with more tales of her life which she lives to the full.

Fantastic, inspiring woman
It’s wonderful to listen to a woman who has experienced so much of what life has to offer, the good and the bad and still be optimistic and full of life. Joan Collins is ageless in many ways, a cracking book full of insights into a life very well lived.
