Make room on the shelf for those Oscars - Joan Collins Set To Play The Aging Walls Simpson

Joan Collins isn't winning any Oscars lol. She never even won an Emmy and was only nominated once in her whole career. She does, however, have a Golden Globe that I'm sure she paid good money for, as well as two (TWO!) Soap Opera Digest awards, and a Cable Ace award that I'm sure is highly prized as a collector's item/door stopper these days/s.

This is weird casting. Simpson was famously American, the Meghan Markle of her era, so casting someone so British-identified is strange, especially a washed up TV actress.

OP, only the Duchess's closest friends used her nickname "WALLS." Most thought it was related to her given name but it actually refers to the strong vaginal grip she was noted to possess. She was also called the Duchess of Kegels but only behind her back.

They better wrap up production pretty quickly given Dame Joan Collins' age. At nearly 92 years old, she must be pretty difficult to insure.

It seems like it'll be a pretty grim movie. Joan will be the Duchess, in bed, drooling over herself, lost to Alzheimer's and Isabella will be stealing her shit.

Face it, she had some great shit to steal.

I imagine they'll shoot the close up scenes with Joan first and pretty quickly. They'll keep her wig on set and use AI should the worst happen before the filming is complete.

To R5-You got that fucking right.

Her husband, Percy, is one of the producer, so her casting is no surprise. It's probably her vanity project.

It'll be terrible but I'll watch the shit out of it.

Dear Miss Collins!

Please leave a fair amount of the make-up provided by our company for Miss Rossellini to use. We can assure you that we have an endless supply of our "Morgue Gothic Foundataion" and "Putain Rosé Lipstick" available for you at shortest notice.

Thank you for understanding,

Lancome

Is there an understudy?

Excited to see Rossellini play an interesting villain. She’ll be great.

I was molested by Oscar De La Hoya. While he was wearing a pair of my L'eggs. Ugh.

This is how Joan wants to be remembered? Whatever.

They’ve already done still shots. Dame Collins literally is Wallis!!

I wish R13 and her tired schtick would die in a lava flow.

Streisand was the original choice to star, produce, and direct. The opening shot was to be Streisand laying upright in bed, knowing the end is near. She slowly picks up a hand mirror, pensively looks at her reflection, and quietly whispers, "Hello Gorgeous!" James Brolin talked her out of it.

Next up was Liza. She, too, was lying in bed upright, when she was directed to slowly pick up the hand mirror and pensively stare at her reflection. However, Liza dropped the mirror, did her 'jazz hands' and giggled, " I feel terrific!' Michael Feinstein talked her out of it, before she was fired.

Joan Collins was third choice, and no one talked her out of it. Not even Linda Evans.

I just remembered how much our dear Joan loves Trump. Drop dead Brit Bitch.

Isabella will own the entire film. Think Bette Davis in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.” I’m surprised Joan would dare agree in casting her.

She didn’t marry King Edward VIII; she married the Duke of Windsor.

Same thing was said about Monique. And people laughed over the possibility of Demi Moore winning an oscar.

Nothing is impossible. And Collins had previously gotten oscar buzz for A Midwinters Tale.

Ooooh! This sounds good! I read a book about their relationship. Absolutely wild! Great book—can’t remember the name.

It will be a long stretch to get a good story out of this.

Was this it, R22?

R24 yes! That’s the one. Very well written and fun

Caroline Blackwood was herself a sacred monster/icon who should be known to all Dataloungers. And her book on WS is compulsive reading.

Caroline Blackwood's own life would make for an interesting movie/show. And, she was a great writer.
