There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all. From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood; from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of the power-brokers -- Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth.
With 400 million copies of her twenty six books sold in more than 40 countries, Jackie Collins is one of the world's top-selling writers. In a series of sensational bestsellers, she has blown the lid off Hollywood life and loves. "It's all true," she says. "I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down -- the real thing is much more bizarre."
Jackie Collins started writing as a teenager, making up steamy stories her schoolmates paid to devour. Her first book was The World is Full of Married Men (1968), and became a sensational bestseller because of its open sexuality and the way Jackie dealt honestly with the double standard implicit in the title-- creating shock waves among men and women alike.
This marked the beginning of her hugely successful writing career.
Ms. Collins lives in Los Angeles. Her hobbies include photography, collecting old cars and soul music.
