Do you think they offered the part of Collins to Lesley Ann Downe?

Krige is a great Joan Collins, but I'm not sure about her accent. It sounds off or forced, but she would have been a great Alexis ('I put the "nasty," into "Dynasty!"' Ha!) The "Linda Evans," is great, too.
This thing is so-so. I haven't seen every Dynasty, but it is entertaining. I like these historical things like "Return to the Batcave," and "Charlie's Angels."

As for Lesley Ann Downe, she's always been a fave of mine, but I think she's too nice for this. Maybe with a wig as Crystal. I'll go check her page and see what she's up to.

Having worked on a daily basis with Joan and Linda on their acting scenes (I was the "on set company acting coach") I can tell you that Ms Krige might have gotten most of the Alexis (Joan) movement/body language, but her vocal inflection was slightly off too many times for my liking- and Joan NEVER- NEVER called the show DIE-NASTY so her line "I put the Nasty into Dynasty" is incorrect. She always called it DIN-NISTY, and never believed that her character was "nasty" or 'campy"- when I told her that her fans loved her for being nasty and campy, she balked saying "I hate that! I'm not camp, and my character is not evil or nasty, she's a strong woman!" True story- unlike the movie I watched last night.
