Loneliness is the universal problem of rich people.

I was so fortunate to work closely with the designer Nolan Miller whilst on 'Dynasty' to create the wardrobe for Alexis Carrington Colby, and we had great fun sourcing outfits.

My father is Jewish, and I look exactly like him My mother is British, but she's of French extraction.

And then I wrote my first autobiography when I - well, it was 23 years ago. And since then I've written about one book every two years.

I blame my grandmother for encouraging me to become an actress.

I'm a woman for all seasons. I mix 'n' match, do designer and high street - keep all my good pieces. I design all my evening and cocktail dresses most of the time as I dislike what is out there.

I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.
