‘Dynasty’ Alum John James Recalls Landing His Big Break — Alongside A-List Actor Tom Hanks!


Dynasty alum John James recalls landing his big break alongside Tom Hanks and meeting the royals with Joan Collins in this exclusive interview with Closer.

“When John Forsythe and I were invited to the Carousel Ball in Denver, we flew on a Gulfstream G500 with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Fred MacMurray, Robert Wagner and Henry Fonda. Another time, I remember being in Nolan Miller’s home squeezed on a sofa between Barbara Stanwyck, Ginger Rogers and Esther Williams — all of whom had had far too much to drink! At first, Jack didn’t want to sing, but we ended up writing a couple songs and opened in Palm Springs before going off to Hollywood, Burbank and San Francisco.
