Collins was born in London, the daughter of Elsa (née Bessant), a dance teacher and nightclub hostess, and Joseph William Collins, an agent whose clients included Shirley BasseyThe Beatles and Tom Jones.[1][2]Collins's South Africa-born father was Jewish and her British mother was Anglican.[3][4][5] She has one sister, the actress Joan Collins (b.1933), and a brother, Bill Collins (b. 1946).

She attended secondary school at the Francis Holland School in central London. However, after what seemed to be a sunny childhood in England, Collins was expelled from high school for poor attendance in 1952.

Her parents swiftly sent her to live with her sister, Joan Collins, who at the time was starting what would be a roller-coaster career in Los Angeles. As she later said her parents were fed up with her and no longer felt they could handle her, so they gave her an ultimatum: reform school or Hollywood. "So I went, 'I think I'm gonna go with Hollywood'".
