With more than 400 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with some twenty-seven New York Times bestsellers to her credit, Jackie Collins is one of the world’s top selling novelists.
We can always count on Jackie to give us the goods on Hollywood and the glamorous lives and loves of the rich, famous and infamous and she does just that with her newest novel ‘Goddess of Vengeance’.
Here’s Gossip Gal’s Q&A with the glamorous and exciting Jackie Collins.
GG: Jackie, how do you describe your new book in a sentence?
JC: Lucky Santangelo is back and wilder than ever in Vegas up against the worst villain I have ever written!
GG: You have written much about casinos. Any reason, and do you gamble?
JC: I love Vegas ever since I received the key to the city! And yes – roulette is my game of choice.
GG: What do you like to do in your spare time when you are not writing?
JC: I am a T.V. addict, a chocoholic, and I love taking photos of family and friends
GG: Which living or not still living actor and actress do you admire?
JC: I would love to see a movie starring Angelina Jolie and George Clooney.
GG: Do you think new restaurant CRAIG’S in Hollywood has a chance to become the new Chasen’s or Polo Lounge, or not so much?
JC: I love CRAIG’S. I go there at least once a week. It’s fun and has great fried chicken and its own comfortable style.
GG: Which fashion designer can do no wrong in your book?
JC: Valentino is always a star.
GG: One day, if you write a book about yourself what is it called?
JC: “Reform school of Hollywood”
GG: Lastly, the story of Ronnie Chasen is so tragic and sad, and unfortunately, has all the makings of a Hollywood crime story. Any thoughts on her and what may have happened?
JC: Ronnie Chasen was a strong personality in Hollywood and is much missed. Although her killer was supposedly caught, her execution still remains a mystery to me.
