At 92 years old, Joan Collins does not fade into the background. The “Dynasty” icon steps straight into the spotlight and reminds everyone why she has remained famous for more than 7 decades. Her appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of "A Murder Between Friends" felt less like a routine movie event and more like a celebration of her legacy.
On January 21, 2026, Joan Collins arrived at the AMC Century City theater looking confident and fully in control. She wore a black sequin cropped biker jacket that caught every flash of light. A semi-sheer black top added texture without trying too hard. Straight-leg black pants and pointed suede shoes kept the look sleek and grounded.
Her styling did the rest of the work. Leather gloves added drama. Layered silver necklaces gave the outfit movement. Her hair was full and polished, and her makeup leaned classic with a bold red lip. Nothing looked accidental. Everything looked intentional.
Percy Gibson stood right by her side, calm and supportive. He wore a dark, tailored suit with a crisp white shirt. The contrast worked perfectly. They held hands, smiled easily, and shared quiet moments between photos. Their comfort together was obvious and refreshing.
They have been married since 2002, and their connection still feels steady and real. There was no show for the cameras. There was warmth, ease, and genuine affection. That kind of presence cannot be styled or staged.
Inside "A Murder Between Friends"
Jacob / IG / "A Murder Between Friends" leans into classic mystery without feeling dated. The story centers on six friends who reunite at a countryside castle owned by a famous former TV detective.
Joan Collins plays that detective, Francesca Carlyle, with sharp wit and polished authority.
When one guest is murdered, the weekend turns tense. Everyone becomes a suspect. Old secrets surface. Francesca steps back into detective mode, reading people as closely as clues. The film keeps things tight and playful while letting the mystery breathe.
The role was written specifically for Collins by writer-producer Mark Rozzano. He imagined her as a glamorous twist on Miss Marple, observant, stylish, and quietly brilliant. That vision comes through clearly on screen.
The movie was co-directed by Jacob Young and Trent Garrett, who also star in the film. It was shot in just about two weeks during spring 2024 at Úsobí Castle in the Czech Republic. The location adds weight and mood without stealing attention from the characters.
The film is now available on major video-on-demand platforms across the United States and Canada. Viewers can find it on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vudu. The story moves quickly and trusts the audience to keep up.
Love, Longevity, and a Long-Lasting Career
Jacob / IG / Joan Collins often speaks openly about her marriage to Percy Gibson. She has described it as strong, supportive, and grounded in friendship.
Gibson, a producer known for his work on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," has been a steady presence in her life. Collins has credited him with supporting her family and managing practical details that allow her to stay focused on creative work. She has called him the love of her life without hesitation.
This is her fifth marriage, and she has never been shy about that fact. She once joked that she believes in marriage, which is why she has done it five times. The humor lands because it comes from experience, not regret.
Her career remains just as active as her personal life. She is best known to many for playing Alexis Carrington on "Dynasty," a role that earned her a Golden Globe and cemented her status as a television icon.
At 92, she is still acting and producing. She does not treat work as a farewell tour. She treats it as a continuation. After the premiere, she spoke warmly about filming in the Czech Republic and praised the local crew for their professionalism and calm approach.
