Peter Holm

It took 15 months, but the marriage between "Dynasty" star Joan Collins and former Swedish pop singer Peter Holm was finally laid to rest Monday in a Los Angeles courtroom. A settlement was reached after 4 1/2 hours of hard bargaining and a face-to-face meeting between the estranged pair. The final division of property, hashed out in the closed courtroom of Superior Court Judge Kenneth A. Black, appeared to produce no clear-cut winner.
