The actress looked decades younger than her 93 years in a series of glamorous snaps shared to Instagram on Monday. Joan and her husband of 24 years, Percy Gibson, 61, own a five-bedroom villa in the French Riviera coastal town. In one snap, Joan modelled an off-the shoulder white dress with a purple shrug, while in another she hit the pool alongside Bond girl Alison Papworth, who appeared in For Your Eyes Only (1981) and Octopussy (1983). Joan invited a whole host of showbiz pals, including costume jeweller Kenneth Jay Lane, fashion stylist Rene Horsch, nutritionist to the stars Gabriela Peacock and her baby, Felix, who is the Dynasty actress’s godson.

Joan recently spoke about her villa in St Tropez, saying: ‘Thanks to Mr Macron, I can only spend 90 days there! And that’s for the whole of Europe! ‘So if I go to Paris for the weekend, which I haven’t done since before Covid, I’m allowed 90 days, that’s it. And we have tons of friends who want to come and stay. ‘I sometimes say that place is like a hotel, because I have this big board with who’s coming when: “Tara [Joan’s daughter] is coming then, Biggins is coming then…” [actor] Christopher Biggins is one of my best pals.’ She also gave an insight into how she maintains her youthful appearance as she revealed why she is firmly against Botox and fillers and how she continues to dance to keep her body fit. She told Daily Mail: ‘I like people who look the way they are. And I do not like the trout pout.’ You can read the full story here.

I believe eating avocados is very beneficial and I believe in taking vitamin supplements – I take vitamin C, E and omega oils.’Maintaining a healthy approach to treats and working with nutritionist Gabriela, has worked wonders in her later life – but Joan admits she may just have been served up some great genes.
