With two failed marriages, Collins wasn't looking for another love to sweep her off her feet. However, shortly after her second divorce, she met Ron Kass, who showered her with so much love she couldn't say no to his proposal. In her memoirs, she said, "So we married, our darling Katyana — known as Katy — was born soon afterward, and the next three years were among the happiest in my life" (via the Daily Mail).

Being 35 years old with two children in tow, Collins took a chance on the 36-year-old Kass, who headed Apple Corporation in addition to The Beatle's production company. While the two shared a beautiful child and happy life for three years of their marriage, disaster struck when Ron was fired from the film company he'd helped to start. This hit led to the beginning of Ron's drug abuse, which sent their marriage into a downward spiral. 

In addition to dealing with their daughter's severe injury from a car accident, Collins found out her family was in financial ruin due to Kass' heroin addiction, which brought about the final blow to their marriage according to her memoirs. It was in 1983 that the "Dynasty" star and American businessman formalized their split; however, it was only a few years later that her marriage to Peter Holm began.
