Among the many confidences in One Night with Joan, Collins tells of the ups and downs of her career and screens rare and often hilarious film footage from her life. It's a chance to hear first-hand about her screen test for Cleopatra and why she lost the role to Elizabeth Taylor, her on-set encounters with the formidable Bette Davis and many others including Marilyn Monroe, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Paul Newman and Richard Burton; and, of course, her relationships! Other highlights of the evening include "Dynasty" outtakes and her legendary "bitch-fights"with Linda Evans in "Dynasty." The evening features a question and answer session with the chance to ask Joan anything you've always wanted to know about her amazing life.
