Joseph could be seen clasping the pole of a large fishing net in his hands as he jokingly held it over his little girl's head.

Joseph donned a pair of smartly pressed trousers which were securely held up by a black belt, while his jumper and open-buttoned white shirt were tucked in.

He wore a jacket on top and a handkerchief could be seen in his top pocket.

In the days before her rise to fame, Joan could be seen sporting a sweet bob hairstyle as she stood in the garden on a summer's day.

And although speaking about the tougher times, Joan also reflected on the more glam moments and confirmed a rivalry with her Dynasty co-star John Forsythe as she called him a 'misogynist p***k', leaving viewers in awe of her candid interview.

During the lengthy chat, Joan became emotional as she reflected on the loss of her mother, saying that it was 'very upsetting' and she wishes her mum Elsa could have met her grandchildren.

Joan explained: 'I did know that she had , I first heard about it in Hollywood, Jackie called and told me. But we were told it wasn't that serious.

'Cancer was a word in the 1960s you just didn't say. We were told it was a bad, flu-like illness.' 

Reflecting further on her mother's death, Joan said: 'Daddy said she'd gone and I went in and she was laying there, and was gone.

'I called up my sister, and my brother was there - only 14 - and it was very upsetting.'

Starting to cry, Joan continued: 'I wish she'd been alive to see my children, my grandchildren. She would have taken a huge pride in my career.' 

Piers then asked what Joan's parents would have made of her interview, with the actress joking: 'Daddy would say "why are you doing that program with that man?"'

While she said that her mother would have been more positive, saying: 'She'd say "oh, I love Piers".' 

Perhaps best known for her appearance in Dynasty, Joan also confirmed that she wasn't very keen on her co-star John Forsythe.

Not pals: Joan starred in Dynasty from 1981-1989 and campaigned to have a higher wage than co-star John Forsythe, adding that the actor was paid more for publicity

She told Piers how she campaigned to have a higher wage herself, adding that the actor always 'had to get paid $5000 more and be front and centre in the publicity'. 

When asked about what she was paid at her peak on the show, Joan replied: 'At my peak, it was $120,000 an episode.

'However that came with a caveat that they’d only put me in half the episodes as couldn’t afford to pay me.'

Joan then added: 'In lockdown I started watching old Dynasty episodes, and I was impressed by myself… quite frankly I think I should have got more .'

And speaking about John, she said: 'I didn’t like him John because he was a misogynist p***k.'
