Dynasty

Dynasty is an American prime time television soap opera that aired on ABC from January 12, 1981 to May 11, 1989. The series, created by Richard and Esther Shapiro and produced by Aaron Spelling, revolved around the Carringtons, a wealthy family residing in Denver, Colorado.The series was ABC's competitor to CBS's prime time series Dallas, and starred John Forsythe as oil magnate Blake Carrington, Linda Evans as his new wife Krystle and later Joan Collins as his former wife Alexis.
Ratings for the show's first season were unimpressive, but a revamp for the second season that included the arrival of Collins as scheming Alexis saw ratings enter the top 20.By the fall of 1982, it was a top 10 show, and by the spring of 1985, it was the #1 show in the United States.Other notable cast members included Pamela Sue Martin, Lloyd Bochner, Heather Locklear, Michael Nader,Diahann Carroll, Emma Samms, Ted McGinley, Rock Hudson, Kate O'Mara and Stephanie Beacham.
Dynasty was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Drama Series every year from 1981 to 1986, winning in 1984. Dynasty spawned a successful line of fashion and luxury products, and also aspin-off series called The Colbys. The series declined considerably in popularity during its final two seasons,and it was ultimately cancelled in the spring of 1989 after nine seasons and 220 episodes.

There is not much info on her available, but I did discover via a message written by her daughter, that she is a classically trained Pianist and self taught organist.
