JOAN COLLINS - COLLINS 'BRUISED AND BEATEN' BY CO-STAR EVANS

COLLINS 'BRUISED AND BEATEN' BY CO-STAR EVANS

Veteran actress JOAN COLLINS has been left bruised and beaten by former DYNASTY co-star LINDA EVANS, according to reports. The pair, who played the warring Alexis Colby and Krystle Carrington in the 1980s' US TV series, were embroiled in bitter fights during Legends - a play which centres on the story of two former, feuding movie stars. And Collins claims Evans took the physical abuse too far on several occasions. A spokesperson for Collins says, "She ended the tour with a sprained knee, a scar on her hand and almost choked to death. "Evans kicked Joan's hand so hard she has a permanent scar and cannot wear a ring on her right hand. And she spent five weeks in therapy when Evans allegedly pushed her off the stage." But Evans' manager Mike Greenfield refuted the claims, saying, "Linda hurting somebody? I find it unbelievable."
