Jackie Collins is dead – Erotic author dies at 77 – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Her books were called “The mare” or “The bitch,” and so it was clear what the woman wrote: love and erotic novels. Critics could not inspire Jackie Collins, millions of readers around the world already.

The English woman, younger sister of actress Joan Collins (“Dynasty”) died on Saturday in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles from breast cancer, as her family the German Press Agency confirmed. Collins was 77 years old.

“She has had a wonderfully full life and was adored by her family, her friends and readers million”, declared her three daughters Tracy, Tiffany and Rory. “You will live on through their fictional characters, but we miss her already incredible.” The 82-year-old Joan Collins told the magazine “People” that she was “devastated” because of the death from cancer of her sister. “She was my best friend and a wonderful person.”

According to your family, she suffered for over six years from breast cancer, but kept it largely for themselves. According to the magazine “People” and her sister learned only in the last few weeks of the terminal illness.

Both in England and in California there will be funerals, but they should take place in a private setting. Collins had three children from her second husband, who died 1992nd Instead of flowers, the family asked for donations for an organization that supports the fight against breast cancer.

Collins wrote mainly about feelings, but rarely purely romantic. It was about passion and jealousy, intrigue and betrayal. Her first work in 1968 aroused great sensation and was not sold because of its eroticism in South Africa and in Australia. At first was on the books instead of Jackie Collins to see her sister Joan Collins.
