In my view Joan Collins was not very attractive. Like Jackie Onassis her eyes were much too far apart. Having a distinctive face may be an advantage for a male actor (Kirk Douglas for example). Actresses, however, need to conform to conventional standards of female beauty, at least when playing younger roles.
She was sexy, and particularly good in femme fatale roles. I'm glad she finally got a big break, and became a star, when she did Dynasty. I remember that Fantasy Island episode with her and Ron Ely as Cleopatra and Marc Anthony.
