Readers' Advisory

Farewell Jackie Collins
Writer
1937-2015


British-born author Jackie Collins regularly landed on best-seller lists with her racy page-turners that chronicled the scandalous doings of various fictional movie stars, rock stars, up-and-coming stars, and has-been stars. Best known for her immensely successful Hollywood series that kicked off with the 1983 best seller Hollywood Wives, Collins mined her own experiences in celebrity-ville for the plots of many of her books. Critics were not always been kind to Collins, but the 500 million books sold under her name attest to her enduring appeal. Collins died of breast cancer at the age of 77. (Biography in Context).
