<p>The corporation’s annual report disclosed salaries for staff earning more than £150,000 and the list of 96 talent featured showed that its top earning male personality was paid at least four times as much as its highest-paid female.</p>
<p>The figures also show that only one third of the list of talent earning more than £150,000 are women.</p>
<p>Dame Joan, 84, wrote on Twitter: <i>“Oh dear only couple of actresses on BBC Rich list reminds me when John Forsythe contractually had to receive much more than me on Dynasty!”</i></p>

<p>&mdash; Joan Collins (@Joancollinsdbe) <a href="https://twitter.com/Joancollinsdbe/status/887930694512648192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 20, 2017</a></p></blockquote>

<p>She was referencing her late co-star, the actor John Forsythe, who starred opposite her in popular 80s television series Dynasty.</p>
<p>Forsythe, who died in 2010, played the show’s patriarch Blake Carrington alongside Collins who played his ex-wife, Alexis Colby.</p>
<p>A host of high-profile names, including Prime Minister Theresa May, have criticised the BBC for the pay gap disparity.</p>
<p>The corporation’s Director-General, Lord Hall, said: <i>“At the moment, of the talent earning over £150,000, two thirds are men and one third are women.</p>
<p>“We’ve set a clear target for 2020: we want all our lead and presenting roles to be equally divided between men and women.</p>
<p>“And it’s already having an impact. If you look at those on the list who we have hired or promoted in the last three years, 60% are women and nearly a fifth come from a BAME background.”</i></p>
