Actress Joan Collins Sues Tabloid for $20 Million

Actress Joan Collins filed a $20-million invasion of privacy lawsuit Tuesday against a supermarket tabloid that allegedly published photographs of her undressing in her bedroom and back yard.

Collins’ Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against the Globe alleges intentional infliction of emotional distress for the photos that ran last month. Globe Publisher Michael Rosenblum, Editor Wendy Henry and reporter Charles Montgomery are named as defendants in the lawsuit. Representatives from Globe Enterprises, based in Boca Raton, Fla., could not be reached for comment.

Collins, who played Alexis Carrington on the ABC series “Dynasty,” contends that she “suffered great humiliation, mental anguish and mental and physical distress” after the issue came out.
