Jackie Collins has had several of her novels adapted for television and film, as fans yearned to see their favorite characters on television. Hollywood Wives, her New York Times #1 bestseller, was made into a miniseries for ABC. The series starred Candice Bergen and Anthony Hopkins – it was one of ABC’s most highest-rated miniseries.
