The news of the death of English actor and author Joan Collins broke quickly in September 2022, causing concern among fans worldwide.
The news of Collins’s death was posted on Facebook with the caption, “At about 11 a.m. on December 03, 2022, our beloved actress Joan Collins passed away. She was born on May 23, 1933 in London.

Likewise, the post was liked by nearly one million people. Many Collins fans immediately began posting condolence messages on Facebook, expressing their sadness that the talented 89-year-old actress had died.
Some people believed the news of Collins’ death, while others were skeptical of the story. Fans of the actress also pointed out that the information had not been broadcast on any major British network, implying that it was a hoax.
Is Joan Collins still alive?
Fortunately, Collins is alive and in good health. On September 07, 2022, the actress’s representatives officially confirmed that Collins was not dead.

Following the disclosure of the truth about Collins, some fans have expressed outrage at the fake report, claiming it was reckless, distressing, and hurtful to Collins fans. Others argued that this demonstrated her worldwide popularity.
Many people believed the news of the actress’s death because she was already 89 years old. On the other hand, Collins is not concerned with her age.
In an interview with Saga Magazine, the actress stated that she still considered herself to be 40 years old.
Collins argued that her age was unimportant because she was concerned with how she looked, felt, and behaved. She said, “My mother’s generation never did it. But you know people have been calling me an older woman since I was 38.”
What is Joan Collins doing today?
Collins is currently doing well in her life. She recently spent the weekend in Malibu, evidenced by her Instagram post on December 04, 2022.
Likewise, the actress’s Instagram is full of photos of her and her husband. She was married to Percy Gibson, who is 32 years her junior, and later this year, the couple will mark their 20th wedding anniversary.
Collins feels fortunate to marry Gibson. She said, “He takes care of everythings. He takes care of my children and all our finances. He’s the love of my life. It’s a great marriage, a great relationship.”
On October 14, Collins shared a photo of herself and her husband posing inside a plane to wish him a happy birthday. She captioned the post, “Wishing my wonderful gorgeous husband a fabulous birthday full of surprises! I love you darling.”
While she is in her late 80s and living her best life, she has had some health issues. Collins was sir-lifted to a hospital in Monte Carlo in July after suffering from a pinched nerve in her leg.
