Joan Collins knows a thing or two about building a “Dynasty.”<\/p>\n

The legendary actress, who is keeping busy at age 93 and starring in a new movie titled “My Duchess,” is offering crystal-clear advice on aging gracefully.<\/p>\n

“I just love life,” the “Dynasty” alum told The Independent<\/a> at Variety’s Women of Power event. “I wake up every morning and breathe the air, try to get a good night’s sleep, drink lots of water and take care of myself.”<\/p>\n

Even Collins needs a confidence boost now and then. The star has a glamorous cure: watching “old movies.”<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re very lucky, you might manage to find an old Bette Davis<\/a> film once in a while,” Collins told the outlet. “But I like the films of the \u201880s and \u201890s, the ones with [Jack] Nicholson and Sarah Jessica Parker.”<\/p>\n

The Emmy-nominee previously told The Telegraph<\/a> that she still goes to the gym to both look and feel her best.<\/p>\n

“I work out with my trainer a couple of times a week,” she explained. “Just basic Pilates-type exercises<\/a> rather than using one of those [reformer] Pilates machines.”<\/p>\n

As for getting her steps in, Collins isn’t exactly pounding the pavement.<\/p>\n

“It bores me,” she admitted to the outlet. “I’ll walk around my apartment tweaking the flowers, but that’s about it. That sounds ridiculous, and it will look ridiculous when you see it in print, but it’s true.”<\/p>\n

Collins emphasized she\u2019s lucky to have “very good genes.”<\/p>\n

“My father lived to be 87, and for somebody born in 1903, that\u2019s pretty amazing,” she said. “My mother took incredibly exceptional care of me and my sister. When we were growing up, she gave us all [kinds of] supplements when nobody was taking supplements.”<\/p>\n

Collins’ secret to staying young at heart may also be closer to home: husband No. 5 Percy Gibson, who is 32 years her junior. Collins married the producer in 2002, and after kissing plenty of frogs, she believes she has finally found her prince.<\/p>\n

“First of all, we were great pals before we got married,” the actress explained to Fox News Digital in 2023. “We worked together on a play. We enjoyed each other’s company. We hung out together. We saw each other the following year. We wrote love letters. It was a gradual thing. And we realized that we were very much on the same wavelength.”<\/p>\n

“He is a really nice, kind, grounded person,” she said. “Many of the people that I’ve been with \u2014 and I’m not going to specify which ones \u2014 have been either neurotic, slightly unbalanced or gotten into different things.”<\/p>\n

For Collins, their age gap is “just a number.” She noted that it’s “never too late” to find love at any stage of life.<\/p>\n

\"Book <\/p>\n

“That\u2019s how we both feel,” she explained. “And we were friends first, above anything else.”<\/p>\n

She noted at the time that they shared the same drive, which she said has been part of the secret behind their lasting union.<\/p>\n

“I was born with a tremendous enthusiasm for life,” she said. “My mother used to say that I never kept still when I was a child. I used to do five different things at once. I would be doing a crossword puzzle, making a doll’s house, reading, painting and trying to become a detective \u2014 all at once!”<\/p>\n

“Life is a gift,” she said. “That’s why they call it the present \u2014 it’s a gift. And so many people waste it. It’s so sad. It’s a gift, and it does not last very long.”<\/p>\n
