Description

Actress and author Joan Collins is celebrating victory in her two-year court battle with US publishers Random House. A New York jury has ruled that the 62 year-old can keep an £800,000 advance on a two-book deal. Random House had claimed the novels aren’t good enough to publish. Outside the court, Collins claims she hadn’t been able to fully state her case.
