Book Description
There's a new phenomenon in the world today. Women who were once relegated to the rocking chair are now taking control of their looks, their health, and their lives, proving that they're more attractive, vital, and productive than ever before. Joan Collins now invites you to listen in on intimate conversations with over twenty of her close friends--including Jacqueline Bisset, Betsy Bloomingdale, Angie Dickinson, Jerry Hall, Ali MacGraw, Michelle Phillips, Joan Rivers, Ivanna Trump, and Twiggy--as they discuss their personal philosophies of life. From husbands to hair care, from face creams to face lifts, from halting the aging process to having the time of your life, these women have revealed all to the epitome of glamour herself--Joan Collins. With an instructive practical section, pulling together celebrity advice on skin care, diet, health, exercise, make-up, alternative therapies, exercise, and cosmetic surgery, My Friends' Secrets dispels the negative image of aging and fully celebrates the joy of maturity.

How to stay a goddess after forty,
By Carol H. "Proustian mess" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Friends' Secrets (Hardcover)
In general, this book is a fast page-turner. Joan Collins has gone a long way to prove how attractive women over forty can be in other books and, as if it wasn't enough, she makes her point again with friends rallying for support. This book is written in a very colloquial style which makes us privy to Joan Collins' intimate chats with her friends about beauty, fitness, life and love. It is a privilege to have the likes of Stefanie Powers, Shirley MacLaine, Ali Mc Graw, Morgan Fairchild, Shirley Bassey, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Shakira Caine or Angie Dickinson handing down to us the experience of a lifetime in the limelight. Yet, the most naive readers should beware of certain oddities like Ivana Trump's gobbling up over six eggs a day, Shirley MacLaine's fasting for over six days on apple juice or Jacqueline Bisset's phobia of fans kisses for fear of bacteria transmission. Despite which, the book is a winner.

Fascinating and Beautiful,
By steve "s3212@hotmail.com" (Memphis, Tn USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Friends' Secrets (Hardcover)
Joan Collins has done a remarkable job with this beauty tell-all. She has choosen very fascinating, not to mention beautiful, and all over the age of 40, and some close to 80. The books reads like a friendly chat. There are some great tips from legendary beauties such as Ali McGraw, Ivana Trump, the ever beautiful Joan Rivers and from society hostesses such as the Texas beauty Lynn Wyatt the always gracious Betsy Bloomingdale. This book is a must have for anyone interested in health and beauty. The photos alone are worth the price of the book.

The Joy of Discovering "Generation Zest",
By
This review is from: My Friends' Secrets (Hardcover)
What a pleasure to learn from a book that revels in the vitality of life after 40! My Friends' Secrets contains 200 pages of stylish pictures and down-to-earth dialogue that reveal the beauty and health tips of some of the world's most striking women. Here Miss Collins and her friends share more with their readers than advice about living well; they embody a "philosophy of life" that underlines the power of positive thinking as a way to inner happiness and peace. The result is an outward radiance for the world to enjoy. The author's maxim, "After 40 you get the face you deserve", sums up the essence of this book - the women of "Generation Zest" can and do take charge of their own destinies and reap the rewards of aging with grace. In a world where some are inclined to accept lemons, Collins makes lemonade. This sentiment of making the best of things comes through vividly throughout the book. It is perhaps the reason why My Friends' Secrets is a treasure for any home library. The secrets of the women profiled here fire the creative imagination. Collins is evidently in her element as an interviewer; the conversations in My Friends' Secrets have more spark and intelligence than any talk show presently on television. In this volume, it's clear that the author's best gift to the public is her own multi-faceted personality. In short, My Friends' Secrets is a five-star read and a tribute to the habit of living and loving an interesting life.
