Good night, Angels.
In honor of Charlie’s Angels milestone 50th anniversary — which kicked off its five-season run in 1976 — stars Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd came together for a conversation at PaleyFest LA on Monday to look back at their groundbreaking series.
Jackson was involved with the show — which followed three beautiful private detectives — from the very beginning, helping Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg put together the idea after her time on The Rookies. She was originally attached to play Jaclyn Smith’s role of Kelly Garrett but would later switch to playing Sabrina Duncan; Smith recalled during the chat that her audition wasn’t her best work and she didn’t think she’d get the role. She also quipped that the producers originally wanted a blonde, a brunette and a redhead, which “they thought was inclusive” at the time.
