Dame Joan Collins, 92, shares a rare picture with her daughter Katy, 53, as she celebrates her youngest child's birthday with sweet tribute
Dame Joan Collins has shared a rare picture of her daughter Katy as she celebrated her 53rd birthday.
The English acting legend, 92, took to Instagram on Sunday to share the sweet tribute to her youngest child.
Dame Joan looked as chic as ever in the snap of her and Katy as she wore a white linen hat with tweed blazer and pearl cross necklace.
Meanwhile Katy, whose father is Joan's former husband Ron Kass, sported a black beanie hat and a quilted jacket as she beamed alongside her famous mother.
'My beautiful #daughter Katy enjoying the happiest of birthdays last Friday #daughtersareforever #daughterslove ❤️❤️❤️,' Dame Joan captioned the snap.
Dame Joan also has two older children Tara and Alexander Newly from her first marriage to Anthony Newly.
Aged just eight, Katy was almost killed in a horrific road accident and spent 47 days in a coma with serious head injuries and a broken collarbone.
Doctors feared she would not survive and she was left with brain injuries.
Aged 41 in 2012 she also suffered a fall in the foyer of her mother's Hollywood apartment block.
She broke her eye socket and was rushed to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Beverly Hills but went on to make a full recovery.
Percy, the longest-lasting of Joan's husbands, is more than 30 years younger than her, a gap she dismisses in interviews with the line: 'If he dies, he dies.'
The long-standing couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a star-studded party at Claridge's last year.
Originally from Peru, Percy is a noted Hollywood producer, known primarily for producing Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
He is the last man standing in a long-lineup of lovers for Collins, all of whom have been well-documented over the years.
Joan's first husband, Maxwell Reed was an Irish actor who she walked down the aisle for in 1956.
The pair divorced that same year and Joan moved onto Warren Beatty.
The two became engaged in 1960, but his alleged affairs broke them apart.
A 1963 marriage to the actor-singer Anthony Newley produced two children and one divorce.
She then wed former Beatles manager Ron Kass in 1972 who fathered her daughter Katie.
Her fourth marriage was to singer Peter Holm, which lasted three years and resulted in a fall out with her sister Jackie who did not like him.
Now however Joan has found the right man and even joked to Jonathan Ross in 2020 that her marriage to Percy had run as long as the previous four marriages combined.
