Dame Joan Collins reveals Conrad Hilton's shocking gun incident in bed

In a recent BBC documentary series about Elizabeth Taylor, actress Dame Joan Collins shared her experiences with Conrad 'Nicky' Hilton Jr., who was known for his volatile behavior during their brief relationship in the late 1950s. Collins described Hilton as 'nuts' and recounted a shocking incident where he fired a gun at the ceiling while they were in bed. This behavior reflects Hilton's troubled personality, which may have stemmed from his wealth and complicated family dynamics. Elizabeth Taylor's first marriage to Hilton, which ended after just eight months, was marked by escalating issues, including emotional and physical abuse. In her memoir, Taylor noted that Hilton became increasingly sullen and angry, leading to a tumultuous relationship. Reports indicate that Hilton's abusive behavior included incidents that caused Taylor physical harm, such as a miscarriage. Collins, who admired Taylor and sought to emulate her style, highlighted the challenges Taylor faced in her personal life, despite her glamorous public persona. The documentary sheds light on the darker aspects of Taylor's relationships, particularly with Hilton, who died at a young age in 1969. The revelations from Collins and the documentary contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding Taylor's life and marriages, illustrating how her experiences shaped her as a person and an actress in Hollywood's Golden Age.
