The Bitch (movie)
Released in 1979, The Bitch is a sequel to The Stud (1978), and stars Jackie’s sister, Joan Collins, as Fontaine Khaled, the owner of a trendy disco who also has to deal with the various men in her life, as well as the Mafia.
There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all.
From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood; from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of the power brokers — Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth from the inside looking out.
Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the late director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair magazine. With over 400 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries, and with some twenty-seven New York Times bestsellers to her credit, Jackie Collins is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. She is known for giving her readers an unrivaled insiders knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives and loves of the rich, famous, and infamous! “I write about real people in disguise,” she says. “If anything, my characters are toned down — the truth is much more bizarre.”
A very special place in my heart is reserved for The Bitch! It was my accidental introduction to both Joan and Jackie Collins! They are now and have always been my heroes ever since. I saw the movie, ran out and bought the book, and the rest is history…
