Featuring stories and secrets of her celebrated life and career as one of the world's most glamorous and intriguing actresses, One Night with Joan is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to spend an intimate evening in the company of a true English Hollywood legend. Joan Collins will take to the stage with honesty, style and grace and with the same engaging wit and frankness that turned her two memoirs, "Past Imperfect" and "Second Act" into international bestsellers. Her latest memoir "Passion for Life" has just been published by Constable & Robinson. Tickets for One Night with Joan range in price from $60 - $75 and are on-sale now and available by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.

Located within Hotel Nikko (222 Mason Street, San Francisco), Feinstein's at the Nikko presents a wide range of entertainers from stage and screen all within an intimate 140-seat cabaret setting.

Cheese and dessert platters will also be available in the showroom.

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.
