* [[Biography]]: Joan has written two autobiogaphies, ''Past Imperfect'' and ''Second Act'', both of which should be taken with varying grains of salt. The former book was [[Bowdlerization|notoriously edited]] for U.S. publication to delete passages detailing her more scandalous doings, but at Joan's insistence was re-released in a new, unexpurgated edition after she hit it big with ''Dynasty''.
* [[Career Resurrection]]: At one point in the late 1970s, Joan had to apply for California unemployment benefits. When she ''could'' get work again, it was generally in terrible movies based on novels by her sister Jackie or bottom-drawer giant-creature schlock. ''Then'' Joan's daughter Katy had a near-fatal accident. And '''then'''...along came ''Dynasty''!!
* [[The Eighties]]: Thanks to ''Dynasty'', Joan is indeliby associated with this decade.
* [[Knight Fever]]: She was knighted in 2015 for her charitable works.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Joan is exceptionally dedicated to her children. In the early 1980s, she exhibited this trope when she fought metaphorically tooth and nail to bring her daughter Katy back from the brink of death after a near-crippling brain injury.
* [[Opera Gloves]]: Joan has always been a great glove fan and is often seen wearing gloves of all lengths (including, of course, over-the-elbow opera gloves) both in her various film and television roles and in real life. On one occasion, she gave the gloves she was wearing to a fan who was admiring them!
