Charlie’s Angels stars turn back the clock at Emmys in ageless reunion

Charlie’s Angels stars Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd reunited at the Emmy Awards on Monday night, with the actresses looking better than ever 50 years after the hit series debuted. 

Jaclyn was a vision in a foam green gown featuring delicate crystal embellishments and plush feather accents across the chest, sleeves and hemline. She accessorized with green bangles and a gold clutch, and wore her stunning blonde locks down in bombshell waves.

Her former co-star, Cheryl, was equally as beautiful in a sparkling navy gown with a scoop neckline, fitted sheer sleeves and a column silhouette, which she paired with pearlescent dangling earrings and a light-colored clutch.

Kate, who opted to skip the red carpet, looked incredible in a monochromatic outfit with a textured white blazer featuring a tied tassel collar. She styled the look with cream trousers and appeared ageless as she stepped onstage with Jaclyn and Cheryl.

The trio celebrated 50 years of Charlie’s Angels on the Emmys stage, before presenting the Best Drama Award to The Pitt, and paid tribute to their late friend and co-star, Farrah Fawcett, who passed away in 2009 from cancer.

“As I said many times, she’s here, and she’s here with us in everyone’s collective memory,” Jaclyn shared, before Kate added that Farrah was “the shiniest angel of all, and she was loved by millions of people all over the world.”

“And she still is today. And they’ll never forget her, and neither will we. And I’m sure you won’t either,” the actress concluded.

Charlie’s Angels debuted in 1976 and ran for five seasons, with Farrah stepping back from her role after the first season. The show received four Emmy nominations during its time on-air, and the series became a cultural touchstone.

The legacy of the Angels

Jaclyn and Kate sat down with Drew Barrymore on her eponymous talk show on Monday and discussed how the series influenced the 2000 reboot, starring Drew, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.

“I always thought of it as, for me, watching it in the ’70s, Charlie’s Angels was not only the most important thing for us females; all the men loved it, and women wanted to be you,” Drew told Jaclyn and Kate.

“I think they did,” Jaclyn agreed. “They wanted to step out of their comfort zone and be brave and unexpected, and certainly your group of angels took us by storm. I mean, it was amazing.”

“I love what you did because it linked generations. And you kept the heartbeat is what I loved, the heartbeat of the show,” she added of the smash-hit reboot.

“What you guys created with Charlie’s Angels is something that I think we’re still trying to emulate and hold up as women can be attractive inside, maybe outside, but I think you could meet the most attractive person and if they don’t have the goods, they’re not attractive,” Drew explained.

“I think that when we set out to make Charlie’s Angels, I always said that we should not pretend to be men.” Kate chimed in: “We don’t need to pretend to be men. Women are just as good as men.”
