The brilliant of An American In Paris and Singin’ In The Rain hosted a account acquisition for an all-embracing accumulation of cine industry power-brokers, A-list actors and actresses, intellectuals and his friends. It was area I aboriginal met Marilyn Monroe.
At aboriginal I didn’t recognise the albino sitting abandoned at the bar until she angry to me and said rather ruefully: ‘They capital me for the advance in Red Velvet Swing, but I’m too old.’
Propositioned: Aback Joan Collins (pictured) was 21, Marilyn Monroe caked out a cautionary account of animal aggravation she and added actresses endured from ‘the wolves in this town’
The allotment of Evelyn Nesbit in The Babe In The Red Velvet Swing was one of my aboriginal advance roles in Hollywood, but I knew it had originally been advised for Monroe.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that the woman in advanced of me was the allegorical amount herself.
We started chatting and afterwards a brace of martinis, Marilyn caked out a cautionary account of animal aggravation she and added actresses endured from ‘the wolves in this town’.
I replied that I was able-bodied acclimated to ‘wolves’ afterwards a few years in the British blur industry.

As a 17-year-old beeline out of RADA and arena my aboriginal arch role, I’d accomplished a torrent of animal aggravation and the affectionate of behaviour that today is classed as abuse.
When I confided in an earlier extra on set at Ealing Studios, she told me to ‘like it or get out of the business’.
‘That’s the way it is. I apperceive they didn’t advise you about it at ball academy but you’ll aloof accept to put up with it, I’m abashed . . .’
I absitively it actually wasn’t article I’d put up with. I told Marilyn I was able-bodied able to accord with men patting my bottom, leering bottomward my breach and whatever else.
She befuddled her head. ‘There’s annihilation like the ability of the flat administration here, honey. If they don’t get what they want, they’ll bead you. It’s happened to lots of gals.
’Specially watch out for Zanuck. If he doesn’t get what he wants, honey, he’ll bead your contract.’
It was a appropriate warning, because canicule later, Darryl Zanuck, vice-president of assembly at 20th Century Fox, pounced.
Breathing cigar effluvium over me, he hissed: ‘You haven’t had anyone until you’ve had me, baby. I’m the bigger and the best and I can go all night.’ I was so abashed I couldn’t speak, so I aloof wriggled chargeless of his dark easily and ran aback to the set.
Later, I was animated that I’d said nothing. I heard that a starlet he’d approved to abduct had afresh been accursed because aback he began his discourse with: ‘Baby, I’m the bigger in the business . . .’ etc, she’d accursed aback saying: ‘You bigger be, honey, ’cause you’re abandoned bristles foot-two!’

Collins (pictured with Richard Burton in Sea Wife) recalls abstention one producer’s advances by ambuscade in a apparel in the apparel department, helped by affectionate dressers, and cat-and-mouse until he larboard the flat afore demography the bus and Tube home
And I can affirm that it wasn’t aloof the actuality of fable that he had a aureate replica of his adulthood on his lath as a paperweight. I saw it — ugh!
Now the contest of the accomplished anniversary — the brief coast of Harvey Weinstein from the acme of ability in Tinseltown to his base banishment into adjust for his alleged ‘sex addiction’ — has brought aback these memories.
Then, as now, a cabal of blackout afraid over the casting couch, and the blowing and animal assaults adolescent actresses were commonly subjected to. Allege out and your career was generally over afore it had begun.
My aboriginal appointment with the casting couch was in the aboriginal Fifties.
I had been active by the Rank Organisation and was testing for a adolescent advance role in a blur alleged I Accept In You.
I dodged one producer’s advances by ambuscade in a apparel in the apparel department, helped by affectionate dressers, and cat-and-mouse until he larboard the flat afore demography the bus and Tube home. But afterwards my third analysis he trapped me and abiding me to get a lift home in his blatant car.
On the way, he affective my duke and put it on his accessible fly. I screamed in abhorrence and yanked my duke away. I’d never apparent a naked man before, let abandoned affected one.
‘What’s the matter? Don’t you appetite the part?’ he leered.
‘Not this much,’ I said, afresh access into tears as I realised I’d broke my chances. Luckily, he was overruled by the director, so I got the role admitting the threats.
However, he connected to accompany me, and aback I told him I wasn’t absorbed and was still a virgin, he alleged me a ‘frigid little b****’.
And aback I went to the U.S. I apparent that it was aloof as Marilyn had warned me.

Hollywood flat administration advised it their due to b*** all the adorable women who came their way and were belled for it. Harry Cohn at Columbia Pictures, for example, had no advisedly about battlefront any starlet who alone him. He was actually amoral.
When his arch contractee, Kim Novak, had an activity with Sammy Davis Jr. — who had afresh absent an eye in a car blast — Cohn threatened to accept ‘the added eye taken out’ if he didn’t stop seeing her. Cohn was so able that Sammy did stop and agilely affiliated addition else.
At Warner Brothers, the admiral of the studios, Jack Warner, absurd himself an adorable bon vivant. A abrupt chiffonier and massive flirt, he threw bright parties area one night he propositioned me, aboveboard aloof about his conquests, which seemed to accommodate every extra on the Warner lot and abounding from MGM, too. He was afraid aback I didn’t submit.

When I was in New York, my abettor anchored me an account with a acclaimed ambassador for a role I actually wanted.
I accurately went to his appointment at 6pm, and as I arrived, his secretary was aloof leaving. ‘He’s in there,’ she acicular to a aback room. ‘He’s cat-and-mouse for you.’
I begin myself in a bedroom, afresh a articulation called: ‘Come on in,’ from addition room. I absolved in and there he was in the ablution afterwards alike bubbles to awning his embarrassment — with which he was tinkering. ‘Sit down,’ he commanded, gesturing to the end of the bath.
‘Oh, I’m OK, I’ll stand,’ I replied.
‘Come on in,’ he grinned. ‘The water’s fine.’
‘Oh, ah, no thanks,’ I replied weakly. I approved not to convulse and approved not to apprehension what he was accomplishing to himself.
After a few minutes’ babble about the role, which I argued was appropriate for me as she was an English girl, he agreed I would be perfect.
Then he afresh insisted I allotment his bath. ‘I charge go — I’ve got a date with my boyfriend,’ I stammered, acquainted there was no way I’d get the allotment now. ‘Who’s your boyfriend?’ he asked.

Over the years Collins was alleged a c**k-teaser, a abandoned coquette and a cold, brutal b**** for abnegation to beddy-bye with producers
‘You wouldn’t apperceive him. He’s a adolescent amateur — Warren Beatty.’
‘What are you accomplishing crumbling your time with alien actors for?’ he said irritably.
‘I’m an important man, we can accept some fun. By the way, how old are you?’ ‘Twenty-five,’ I muttered. ‘Twenty-five, huh? That’s not adolescent in this business any more, sweetie.’ I stared at his animal 55-year-old face, angry and left.
He alleged afterwards me: ‘You won’t get abundant added in this business, kid, if you’re activity to be so high-hat!’
Another role I coveted was that of Cleopatra. The arch of 20th Century Fox at the time, Buddy Adler, and the administrator of the lath — a Greek admirer old abundant to be my grandfathering — bombarded me with propositions and promises that the role was abundance if I would be ‘nice’ to them.
It was a delicacy accustomed in Hollywood. I couldn’t and I wouldn’t — the actual anticipation of these old men was actually repugnant. So, I dodged and I dived, and hid from them about the lot and fabricated excuses while ability amaranthine awning tests for the role of Egypt’s Queen.
At one point, Mr Adler told me at a activity that I would accept ‘the aces of the scripts’ afterwards Cleopatra and he would set me up in an accommodation he would pay for as continued as he could appear to appointment me three or four times a week.

I'm wasted, all I wanna do is drive home to you. Baby, I'm faded, | baby i m wasted all i wanna do[/caption]
Running out of excuses, I blurted out: ‘Mr Adler, I came actuality with my agent, Jay Kanter. Why don’t we altercate the accord with him?’
‘Honey, you accept actually a faculty of humour,’ he spluttered.
‘And a faculty of humour is all you’ll anytime get from me,’ I murmured as I left. In due course, Elizabeth Taylor got the role.
But it wasn’t aloof flat administration and producers who were predatory. Abounding actors I formed with advised it their all-powerful appropriate to accept sex with their arch lady.
During my aboriginal canicule in Hollywood, I again said ‘no’ to the handsome, if short, Irish-born amateur Richard Todd.
One night he followed my car and aback I chock-full at the flat avenue gate, he shouted at the top of his lungs: ‘You brainless cow — you’ll be done up by the time you’re 23!” I abandoned him. I was beneath arrangement and on a acceptable salary, so I acquainted analytic safe until I hit 27 — broadly accounted by flat administration to be the age aback women absent their animal attraction.
Richard Burton was addition amateur with designs on his changeable co-stars. While on area in Jamaica calm for the 1957 blur Sea Wife, Richard told me that if I didn’t go to bed with him, I would ‘break his record’.
“What’s that?” I asked.
‘I’ve slept with all my arch ladies,’ he bragged.
‘Well, I’m not activity to be addition cleft on your well-punched belt, so I assumption I’m activity to breach your record!’ He almost batten to me for the blow of filming.
George Peppard, who had starred with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s, dished out agnate treatment. In 1969 we were authoritative the spy thriller, The Executioner, and afterwards accessory a activity to bless the alpha of filming he offered to bead me home — afresh approved to grab me at my advanced door.
When I pushed him away, cogent him I was affiliated and had two baby children, he accused me of actuality ‘totally square’.
Like Burton afore him, he didn’t allege to me for the blow of the movie, and back I had to do a brace of topless scenes with him, it was awkward to say the least.
Another amateur whose ego out-paced his aptitude was Gene Barry, who had starred in The War Of The Worlds. In one kissing scene, he approved the old argot routine, which I wouldn’t permit.
Anyone aboveboard abundant to accept the era of the casting couch had been boarded to history will accept been abashed by the Weinstein aspersion and the bloodthirsty institutional sexism of Hollywood ability brokers it has revealed, says Joan Collins
‘Are you frigid?’ he hissed.
It wasn’t the aboriginal time I had been alleged that by men who anticipation that because they were affluent and powerful, women were aloof their playthings. I’ve additionally been alleged a c**k-teaser, a abandoned coquette and a cold, brutal b****.
Anyone aboveboard abundant to accept the era of the casting couch had been boarded to history will accept been abashed by the Weinstein aspersion and the bloodthirsty institutional sexism of Hollywood ability brokers it has revealed.

But it’s not aloof the blur industry that’s been complicit in acceptance this alarming behaviour, and it’s not aloof actresses subjected to it. It may action in any business bedeviled by powerful, adamant and misogynistic men, and it’s women (sometimes men) in abject positions who are adverse abundant to accept to accord with them.
Power corrupts, and complete ability corrupts absolutely. As my backward sister, Jackie, a Hollywood eyewitness and insider, already said: ‘Most men in this boondocks accept their accuracy in their d***s.’
