There is something magical about watching a TV show where you can tell the stars are truly friends and aren’t putting on an act. They genuinely get along in real life the same way they appear on TV. Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, and Kate Jackson played Charlie’s Angels in the crime drama of the same name in the late 1970s and early 1980s. According to Jaclyn, they formed a life-long bond during those feathered-hair days.

The Women Became Big Stars Together
Jacklyn told People that she, Farrah, and Kate were a team.
“There was a camaraderie of shared history. We crossed that bridge and it changed our lives. There was no walking into a grocery store in an anonymous way anymore and so, for all three of us, there was a special bond.”
She added that they enjoyed being together and worked well on set because they were friends.
“We weren’t [going], ‘I want this scene, I want that one.’ “Jacklyn said. “It was just girls having fun. We were like college roommates. Just independent women, making our way.”
When Farrah passed away from cancer 15 years ago, Jaclyn said she lost a very dear person in her life.
“She was a true girlfriend. Not a competitive girlfriend, she wished everybody well. She was the first to visit me after I had my first child. I could see her joy because she knew that was my dream — to have children — and the dream had come true,” Jaclyn recalled.
Jaclyn is proud of her work on Charlie’s Angels and said the show left a mark on people. Fans felt so connected to the Angels that they still support the Farrah Fawcett Foundation many years later.
“It was so innocent. Families watched our show, young people,” Jaclyn said. “The people who watched that show grew up with us and still support the foundation.”
