Dame Joan Collins missed out on a role when she 'refused' to take a bath with a producer during their meeting.
The 90-year-old star is thankful the #MeToo movement has encouraged actresses to speak out about the sexual misconduct they have experienced in their careers because she hopes it means the new generation of aspiring starlets won't face the same unwanted advances.
“One experience I had was being asked to meet a producer who was in the bath. He definitely wasn’t playing with his rubber duck when he asked me to get in with him. When I refused, I was asked to leave, and I didn’t get the part!” Speaking on 'This Morning', she said:"When I finally got my first audition for first big role at Ealing Studios. I would get on bus, train, then walk. One of the producers always used to try and catch me. And push me up against the wall, stroke my arm.
But Joan has warned that modern men are"suffering from the rise of anti-maleness" as a result of the #MeToo movement, even though she supports the campaign.
