Jackie Collins has always been a bit of a bad girl. At the age of 15, the rebellious daughter of a British theatrical agent was expelled from school and tossed her uniform into the Thames. While her older sister Joan pursued an acting career, Jackie found her calling on the page. Her 1968 debut novel, The World Is Full of Married Men, revealed a talent for turning out steamy, scandalous page-turners. After 27 novels -- each one a New York Times bestseller -- she remains the discerning reader's one-stop-shop for raunchy tales of the rich and famous. Her latest opus: Poor Little Bitch Girl.
Was her sister Joan a movie star in Hollywood? She never mentions it...
