The English
novelist was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer more than six years ago but
kept her illness almost entirely to herself. A spokesman for her family told
People magazine: ‘It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of
our beautiful, dynamic and one of a kind mother, Jackie Collins, who died of
breast cancer today. ‘She lived a wonderfully full life and was adored by her
family, friends and the millions of readers who she has been entertaining for
over 4 decades. ‘She was a true inspiration, a trail blazer for women in
fiction and a creative force.
She will live on
through her characters.’ The best-selling author, who is the sister of actress
Joan Collins, 82, had spoken to her three daughters Tracy, 54, Tiffany, 48, and
Rory, 46, about her illness. She gave an interview from her home in Beverly
Hills five days ago, saying she had no regrets. Collins said she had lived life
like Frank Sinatra, and ‘done it my way’.
