Joan Collins Cast as Wallis Simpson in Biopic 'The Bitter End'

The 91-year-old actress will portray the Duchess of Windsor during her final years in a film directed by Mike Newell.

Filming for 'The Bitter End,' a biopic about Wallis Simpson's later years, is set to begin in May 2025 in London and Paris.
Joan Collins, known for her iconic role in 'Dynasty,' described the project as a challenging opportunity to explore the untold story of Simpson's final days.
The script, written by Louise Fennell, delves into Simpson's life after the death of her husband, Edward VIII, and her subsequent decline into isolation and ill health.
Mike Newell, director of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral,' will helm the film, which is being produced by John Gore Studios.
Wallis Simpson's controversial relationship with Edward VIII, which led to his abdication in 1936, remains a defining chapter in British royal history.
