Other topics include their upcoming play "Legends", aging issues, and their personal lives. Joan talks about her marriage to Percy Gibson, a man thirty years her junior, and her lawsuit against publishing giant Random House, while Linda discusses her previous relationships with actor John Derek and New Age musician Yanni.
Evans appeared in Playboy magazine at the behest of her then-husband John Derek in 1971. As she gained fame on Dynasty, the photos were published a second time in 1982.[47]
Early life
Evans, the second of three daughters, was born Linda Evenstad in Hartford, Connecticut, on November 18, 1942,[1] to Arlene (née Dart) and Alba Evenstad, both of whom were professional dancers.[2] "Evenstad" was the name of the small farm in Nes, Hedmark, in Norway from where her paternal great-grandmother emigrated to the United States in 1884 with her young son (Evans' grandfather) and other relatives.[3] She has two sisters.[4] When Evans was six months old, the family moved from Hartford to North Hollywood. She attended Hollywood High School, where she was a sorority sister of future actress Carole Wells. Her introduction to drama came through classes that she took "as a form of therapy, to cure her of her shyness."[5] When she started her professional career, she changed her last name to "Evans."
Collins made her Hollywood film debut in the lavish historical drama The Virgin Queen (1955). The British newcomer was given equal billing with established stars Bette Davis and Richard Todd. That same year, Collins was cast in the starring role of Evelyn Nesbit in The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing with Ray Milland and Farley Granger. The part had originally been intended for Marilyn Monroe, however problems between Monroe and Fox led to Collins gaining the role.[21]

Claudia was the best thing about this family. I understand why when the show was revamped, she was the only one they kept.
What a complicated situation. She should be there for her child but if she’s really that sick and working on getting better you don’t want to pressure her too much.
