Sexy Spotlight: Joan Collins - Edith Keeler

British actress Joan Collins holds a special place in pop culture history.  On the primetime TV soap, Dynasty, Collins played Alexis Carrington - the wealthy European socialite who smoothly put the mega rich in elegant bitch. During the 1980's, she served as a true icon of the materialistic oriented decade.  Before mixing it up in nighttime soap opera, Collins played none other than Captain Kirk's lost love - a romance denied to him by the cruel hand of fate and time.


In writer Harlan Ellison's episode, City On The Edge Of Forever, Collins plays social worker Edith Keeler, as a passionate intellectual. She has an unwavering charitable bent to help save the poor, marginalized and downtrodden, and to lift them out of the ghetto.  However, her time as a beneficent angel on Earth is sorely limited - it has to be, or the proper timeline won't be sustained.  A fateful and ultimately fatal incident must play out, or history will be forever and detrimentally changed.
