Jacqueline Jill Collins OBE (4 October 1937 – 19 September 2015) was an English romance novelist. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, became a U.S. citizen and spent most of her career there. She wrote 32 novels, all of which appeared on The New York Times bestsellers list. In total, her books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into 40 languages. Eight of her novels have been adapted for the screen, either as films or television mini-series. She was the younger sister of actress Joan Collins.
Collins was born in 1937 in Hampstead, London, the younger daughter of Elsa (née Bessant) Collins (died 1962) and Joseph William Collins (died 1988), a theatrical agent whose clients later included Shirley Bassey, the Beatles and Tom Jones.
Collins' South African-born father was Jewish and her British mother was Anglican. A middle child, Collins had an elder sister, actress Joan Collins, and a younger brother, Bill, a property agent.
Collins attended Francis Holland School, an independent day school for girls in London. She was expelled from the school at age 15. During this period she reportedly had a brief affair with 29-year-old Marlon Brando. She began appearing in acting roles in a series of British B movies in the 1950s, and worked as a stage singer alongside a young Des O'Connor, among others.
Fade or Fading may refer to:
In stage lighting, a fade is a gradual increase or decrease of the intensity of light projected onto the stage. The term fade-in refers to gradually changing the lighting level from complete darkness to a predetermined lighting level. A fade-out (also known as fade-to-black) refers to gradually decreasing the intensity of light until none is shining on the stage. A crossfade is when lighting levels are gradually altered from one setting to another. A fade-in is sometimes called a build, and where this terminology is used, a fade is understood to be a fade-out.
Increasing lighting intensities that are not black is referred to as a fade-up. Similarly, decreasing lighting intensities to a level above black is referred to as a fade-down.
Cross-fades are accomplished by executing fade-ups and/or fade-downs. In nearly all theatrical lighting designs, multiple lighting instruments are used to illuminate the stage at any one time. A cue refers to the recorded state of illumination for the entire stage at that time. The intensity of the lighting instruments are often altered with a single crossfade, altering the lighting state of the stage.
"Fade" is a song by Staind from their 2001 album Break the Cycle, released as the third single from the album in late 2001. It was the last song played on MTV before turning to CBS's broadcast following 9/11.
It became the second highest charting single from Break the Cycle on the Billboard Hot 100, when it peaked at No. 62. It also charted on the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks lists, at No. 4 and No. 3, respectively.
A music video was made for the song, directed by Marcus Raboy.
I think I'm losing. Is it too late for me?
I thought, I always thought I'd make it through.
I'm asking you, why?
Is it too late for me?
Your answers never clear or maybe it's just me.
I never took the time.
It's something that I see now.
And I know that you tried but something always held me back.
Every time, something always held me back.
I can't say I'm proud.
You always seem to know.
Some how I know you understand everything about me.
How could it even matter?
I wish I could say the same thing for myself.
The day is almost over, and I'm lost.
I lost another day.
Make a way.
I won't fade. I'll never fade.
