Joan Collins only eats a third of each meal to keep her slim figure.
The 72-year-old star is so worried about gaining weight she leaves two thirds of her lunches and dinners when she eats out in the US.
She confessed: "I'm not fanatical, I'm disciplined, and I'll never finish what's on the plate, particularly in America.
"The waitress always asks me, 'Is everything OK?', because I only eat one third. They give you far too much.
"Also, I won't eat c**p. I won't eat doughnuts and crisps."
Collins also admitted she would love to escape the pressures of being famous.
She told Britain's Hello magazine: "I'd hate to be one of those flavour-of-the-month actresses today like Cameron Diaz who are spooked by the paparazzi wherever they go. I could live without fame very easily. It gets in the way of trying to live a normal life.
"I don't draw attention to myself. If I go shopping, I wear jeans. I'm not going to look particularly glamorous."
