Biography (TMDB): Joan Henrietta Collins, DBE (born 23 May 1933) is an English actress, author, and columnist. Flamboyant in her personal life, she is perhaps best known in the United States for the role of the equally flamboyant Alexis Colby in the long running television series Dynasty, as well as being a favorite of Star Trek fans for her appearance as Edith Keeler in the Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever".

Movies
Arbitro, L'
smokingsides
smokes long 164mm cigarillos throughout. 6 scenes. Extremely sexy.
Dark Places
smokingsides
There are two good smoking scenes. In one she lights up, takes a big drag, inhales it all, and starts talking while exhaling. The lighting is poor and it is hard to see the exhale, but it is a very good lighting up scene. In the other scene she is lying on a couch, reading a magazine; she takes a drag and lets out a lazy exhale which just kind of drifts toward the ceiling.
Dynasty: The Reunion
smokingsides
Two lightings and a close-up of an exhale, with the last little bit trickling from her nostrils. There is also a close-up drag and she runs her tongue over her lips to savour it.
I Don't Want to Be Born
smokingsides
Takes a double pump with a delayed nostril exhale. Lights a filter-tip without inhaling. Accepts a Dunhill International and a light, this time inhaling. Another drag follows, but the director cuts away.
In the Bleak Midwinter
smokingsides
[Sawalha] One long distance dangling scene and one very brief inhale
Island in the Sun
smokingsides
A young [Collins] inhales with none of her current affectation.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
smokingsides
Uses a long holder. No closeup
Monte Carlo
smokingsides
Only one scene with holder - but not bad
Poliziotto senza paura
smokingsides
not only plays a stripper, she has two killer smoking scenes as well. First off, as she's introduced in the opening credits, she is pictured lighting up an orange-tipped regular and simultaneously exhaling through her mouth and nose. Voluminously. Then as the house lights go down and she comes on stage to strip she takes a cigarette from the hand of the M.C. and sucks hard on it. Then she's off to a very sexy strip...
Seven Thieves
smokingsides
Unexceptional smoking by Joan in four scenes, three involving lightings. For the most part her exhales are not visible, though there is a voluminous one filmed from behind.
Stopover Tokyo
smokingsides
Three scenes with Collins doing classic smoking. The outdoor scene shows a good sequence of 3 inhale/exhales.
Tales from the Crypt
smokingsides
0:13 - Nice continuous dangling scene as Joan is first unsuccessful trying to light her cork tip cigarette with a table lighter, is then distracted as she opens a small package, then finally finds a light at the fireplace. No subsequent drags, though.
The Big Sleep
smokingsides
An opening sequence in silhouette in which Bacall takes two drags and a shot of two cigarettes nestling together in an ashtray emphasise the sexuality of smoking. It is, however, more than an hour before we see a nose-and-mouth exhale from a lighting, with traces of lipstick left on her cigarette. There is a lovely three-part mouth-and-nose exhale in profile in a later scene.
smokingsides
One inhale/exhale scene of Collins smoking which is from a short distance, so not too clear.
The Opposite Sex
smokingsides
Joan Collins as a showgirl has some wonderful scenes in this one, including a nice exhale into a makeup mirror and a couple of extended dangling scenes in a bathtub
The Road to Hong Kong
smokingsides
First glimpsed holding and stubbing out, the young Joan is caught exhaling in another scene with a trace of smoke on her breath as she speaks. Later, she accepts a light, exhaling through her nostrils, and takes another drag with a mouth-exhale.
The Stud
smokingsides
Joan appears with a small cigar in five scenes, with one lighting and a single drag being filmed. She talk-exhales at one point. Sue is lit and takes a couple of cigarette drags while being massaged and we just catch the end of an exhale. They share a joint in a later scene.
The Wayward Bus
smokingsides
Michaels lights a cigarette for the coach driver from the one she is smoking, then drags and exhales from her own. Mansfield dangles briefly as she searches for her lighter, accepts a light from a fellow passenger, takes a second drag, but does not inhale in either instance.
These Old Broads
smokingsides
Just one scene near the start,when the ladies meet at Elizabeth Taylor's house. [Collins] lights up with her usual style and has several inhales, as well as a few good holding shots.
Turn the Key Softly
smokingsides
Just released from prison, Mitchell takes a non-filter from a glass cigarette box and strokes it lovingly before lighting it and blowing out the smoke with a look of pure ecstasy. Collins, another ex-con, is given a pack of Player's Medium Navy Cut as the first of her wedding presents, but we have to wait for a later scene before she actually smokes, accepting a cigarette and a light. Neither woman inhales, though.
