In an interview with thewrap.com Jackie Collins talks about her new book and Hollywood Heartthrobs and of course Rob came into the conversation.
Here's what she had to say:
Most of your characters are under 30. How do you keep current?
I’m actually a popular culture junkie. I love keeping up on things on the internet, reading all the fabulous stuff that goes one. Perez is funny, thedailybeast, the radar.com, all of those.
I like to be able to mention things before they actually happen. For instance, I mention Robert Pattinson. When I wrote the book he wasn’t as big as he is today, but I knew he would be. I just had this feeling.
Around that time you had a brief affair with Marlon Brando?
Yes, he was my favorite movie star, and I actually was 16. I met him at a party and it was all bets are off because I was a very street smart 16 and what are you going to do when you come face to face with your favorite movie star and you’ve seen “The Wild One” 10 times?
That’s the fantasy of every woman of your generation and half the men!
Well yes, I think any 16-year-old today who came across Robert Pattinson would do the same thing! (Kate: Less of the 16 please Jackie! Are you saying you'd turn down Robert Pattinson? I certainly wouldn't!)
