- 9 years ago
Jackie Collins, the best-selling British-born author known for her vibrant novels about the extravagance and glamour of life in Hollywood, died on Saturday in Los Angeles.
She was 77.
The cause was breast cancer, her family said in a statement.
She wrote more than 30 books, many of them filled with explicit, unrestrained sexuality, and sold more than 500 million copies worldwide.
Her first novel, "The World Is Full of Married Men," was published in 1968.
Many of Ms. Collins's novels became fodder for movies and television mini-series.
In 2001, for instance, she published "Hollywood Wives: The New Generation," which followed "Hollywood Wives," "Hollywood Husbands," "Hollywood Kids" and "Hollywood Divorces."
