Joan Collins didn’t like her “Denver Clan” colleague John Forsythe at all. Now she explains why.

Joan Collins (88), John Forsythe (1918-2010) and Linda Evans (78) became absolute stars with the cult series “The Denver Clan” in the 1980s. Collins never liked her colleague Forsythe, as she has now told on British television. In an excerpt from the show “Piers Morgan’s Life Stories”, that the “Daily Mail” showsCollins responds to rumors.

When asked about the subject by the controversial presenter Piers Morgan (56) on his show, Collins stated that it was “absolutely” true that the two didn’t like each other. But why? “I didn’t like him because he was a misogynist ass,” Collins says frankly.

The two deserved that back then

According to the report, the actress went on to explain that Forsythe always had to be the center of attention and earn more than his peers. She initially got around $ 15,000 per episode, but his salary was more like “$ 25,000 to $ 30,000”. Forsythe allegedly even stipulated in his contract “that he had to get $ 5,000 more per episode than anyone else on the cast and that he always had to be the center of attention in every commercial for the series.”

Those responsible were so “misogynistic that they allowed that to happen,” said Collins. At her best times she later earned up to $ 120,000 per episode. However, she only appeared in half as many episodes “because they couldn’t afford me”. During the lockdown, she looked back into a couple of old episodes and said, “Frankly, I think I do more [Geld] should have gotten. “

“Beware of the wolves in Hollywood”

When Collins had just come to Hollywood, the legendary Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) gave her a tip: “Beware of the wolves in Hollywood, honey, because if they don’t get what they want, they’ll cancel your contract.” Collins never got involved on the infamous “Casting Couch”: “It would probably have made me a lot more successful. Can you imagine how much more successful I would have been?”
