Actress Joan Collins is the most glamorous and vivacious 90-year-old we know, married to her fifth husband Percy Gibson and a mother of three.

The former Dynasty star, who made her name as the feisty Alexis Colby in the hit 80s show, adores her family. Her children are Tara Newley, 60, Alexander Newley, 58, who she shares with her second husband Anthony Newley, and Katyana Kass, 51, daughter of Joan and Ron Kass, the icon's third husband.

In the documentary This is Joan Collins, the movie star commented on being a mum: "Motherhood was really exciting and I love every minute of it."

We don't often see photos of Katyana, who Joan welcomed into the world on 20 June 1972, and affectionately calls 'Katy'.

Tragically, Katyana was hit by a car when she was just eight years old. In the same documentary, Joan recalled: "She was knocked down by a car and sustained very serious brain injuries and I was told that she was going to die. She was in a coma for a very long time."

Her daughter spent 47 days in a coma, and according to MailOnline, Katyana was left with brain injuries following the near-fatal accident. She had another accident in 2012 when she fell in Joan's apartment block and broke her eye socket. Thankfully Katyana recovered fully.

Like her famous mother, Katyana followed Joan into acting and appeared in the movie The Optimists at age one.

Joan shared this lovely picture of herself and her daughter and wrote: "Happy to celebrate my beautiful daughter Katy's birthday with a lovely dinner party with all her friends. #birthdaygirl #celebration #party #friends #proudmother."
