She’s gained a new cadre of
fans in women over 40, and she’s
proud to be a role model. Her re-
cent photo spread in Playboy
magazine was partly done to
show older women they can still
be sexy, she said.
“Society is geared toward
youth, and it slings every one
else off to the side,” she said. “I
was told very young to make the
best of it because I would be all
washed up by 24.
“I’m not in the business of pro-

said. “I’m very happy and I like

the past six months.
“I don’t consider myself a
legend. Legend sounds un-
touchable, like someone living in
a penthouse apartment with
their memoirs.”
She takes her fame “with a
grain of salt — a canister of
salt,” and avoids intrusions on
her privacy by staying in her
Beverly Hills, Calif., home.
“Please, I’m not complain-
ing,” Miss Collins said. “What
bothers me the most is the peo-

Right now, she’s taken time
out to promote the U.S. edition of
her autobiography, “Past Im-
perfect" (Simon & (Schuster,
$18.95). It is an often witty and
sometimes poignant account of a

good looks seemed to dictate her
career. It also is a steamy romp
through the loves — and hates —

ABC says it hopes to make a
profit on the Olympics, but the
network won’t disclose any
estimates. Naturally, the net-
work hopes for a residual profit
from viewers who stick with the
network after the Games are
over.
“We hope this will be a real
event,” Broshu said of the TV
coverage. “Americans haven’t
seen an Olympics in eight
years.”
