According to Wikapedia Joan Collins was an actress; but (ahha bulb please) her younger sister was Jackie Collins who was a famous british novelist. Could you be thinking of Jackie Collins?

You get John J. Collins and Millicent Collinsworth Jan Winebrenner I did it several times to make sure I wasn't typing wrong or something. That's all I get. No Joan Collins and I know darned well there are Joan Collins books in the collection. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die by Nancy Martin Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html
