Jackie Collins
Jackie Collins (1937–2015) was a British-American novelist known for steamy, page-turning fiction about wealth, power, and sex in Hollywood.
Her blockbuster novels—including *Hollywood Wives* and the Lucky Santangelo series—sold over 500 million copies worldwide.
The name evokes glamorous trash, guilty-pleasure reading, and unapologetic celebration of female sexuality and ambition.
