Joan Collins pays tribute to her late ‘brave baby sister’

Joan Collins paid tribute to her “beautiful brave baby sister” Jackie who died after a secret battle with cancer.

Jackie, who sold more than 500m novels in more than 40 countries in her four decades-long career as a writer of raunchy female fiction, died of breast cancer. She was 77.

Despite being diagnosed six-and-a-half years ago the British author, who lived in Beverley Hills, told few people about her illness, saying she did not want to “burden” others with it.
