‘Charlie’s Angels’ Legends Jaclyn Smith, 80, and Kate Jackson, 77, Are Ageless Beauties on the Red Carpet

Charlie’s Angels stars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson look amazing, 45 years after the beloved show went off the air.

The legendary actresses, who are best known for their roles as Kelly Garrett and Sabrina Duncan on the hit TV series alongside Farrah Fawcett, are aging like fine wine. While the show ran from 1976 to 1981, Smith continued to act, with roles on The District and Shear Genius. Never one to slow down, she parlayed her career into the design world, becoming an entrepreneur with Kmart and then with the Home Shopping Channel. Jackson chose a quieter life, preferring to avoid the public eye for many years. However, the duo looked more lovely than ever while attending the 2026 Paley Honors Spring Gala at The Plaza Hotel in New York City this week. What do you think we’d have to do to get them back on the TV screen together?

Celebrating the Show’s 50th Anniversary

The pilot of Charlie’s Angels aired on March 21st, 1971, and Smith’s dear friend Patrick Foley took to Instagram to honor the day with a photo of the stunner in pink pajamas. While it has been five decades since she first took on the role of Kelly Garrett, you wouldn’t know it. Smith glows in front of the camera!

“Today is the 50th anniversary of the pilot of my all-time favorite show, Charlie’s Angels 💝💝💝How lucky am I, I get to share the evening with my favorite angel Kelly Garrett @realjaclynsmith💖,” Foley captioned his photo, which showed him with his arm around a stunning Smith.

Honoring Farrah Fawcett’s Memory

While fifty years have passed, Smith hasn’t forgotten where she came from. As the years go on, she continues to honor her dear friend and fellow angel, Farrah Fawcett. Recently, Smith headed to the red carpet to join friends Morgan Fairchild, Donna Mills, and Alana Stewart to honor their late friend, who died of cancer in 2009. The event was a benefit for the Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which raises funds for HPV-related cancer research, patient assistance funds during treatment, and prevention programs.

Looking incredible in a monochromatic cream-colored suit, Smith glowed in front of the camera, as did the rest of the ladies.

“In Texas with my friends in support of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation and the annual TexMex Fiesta! What a wonderful time for a great cause. Thank you to everyone who joined us,” she captioned her photos.
