YoungWillz 21,066 Posted January 22, 2019 You know how you find an obituary and decide against posting it? And then you have another look? Well, that's what I did here. Death notice for John Fortune-Fraser, who produced and acted in Sir Billi: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-uk/obituary.aspx?n=john-fortune-fraser-mbe&pid=191324567 Why post it?

If she is anything like her sister Jackie in certain regards she may well have a serious illness that she has not publicly disclosed. Jackie Collins only told her daughters she had been diagnosed with cancer around 2006/2007 . When it became terminal she knew the end was near she told the rest of her family but I think her death in 2015 was a big shock to many of her friends and Hollywood because she'd kept it private for nearly nine years. Not even her closet circle of friends in Hollywood like Alana Stewart were told. I think while Joan is obviously her own person I think it would not be out of character for her if she approached a serious illness in a similar way to her sister. Something for deadpoolers to consider... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
