London, April 17 (IANS) Actress-author Joan Collins says she has never used drugs despite Hollywood stars handing them out at parties.
The 79-year-old claims while partying with the Rat Pack (group of actors) in the 1950s she snubbed cocaine from crooner Sammy Davis Junior.
"Davis Junior tried to give me cocaine on a spoon," thesun.co.uk quoted Collins as saying.
"I said 'No, Davis' and blew the whole spoon all over his blue velvet dinner jacket," added the actress of films like "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing" and "The Bitch".
The actress stuck to booze and cigarettes instead. "I just think that if you do drugs, you just lose it."
