[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 430947, member: 57984"] No, no, it's [B][I]imperative [/I][/B]that we understand Joan Collins' faux-diva psychology. Gordon Thomson once said that Joan (who claims Linda & John and everybody else were "jealous" of her) was projecting her own jealousy onto others, particularly Linda, because Linda was so effortlessly popular on the set with cast and crew, while persnickety Joan was less so (although Joan had the J.J.s safely in her corner). But what even Gordon doesn't quite understand about Joan, despite having worked with her for years, is that even Joan's [B][I]projected [/I][/B]jealousy is an affectation: Alexis would be jealous of [I]Krystle [/I]and her popularity, so Joan's "jealousy" is performative in nature -- even its projection onto others. She doesn't really feel it [I][B]quite [/B][/I]in the way she pretends. Joan is insecure, yes, but [B][I]not exactly[/I][/B] in the way we tend to think. It's all a game and she thinks she's mastered it. (And perhaps she has!) We've [I][B]got [/B][/I]to understand it -- we've [B][I]just got to!
