Charlie’s Angels stars reunite to celebrate groundbreaking legacy of iconic show

  • Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd, stars of the iconic series Charlie's Angels, reunited at PaleyFest LA to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary.

  • The trio's enduring sisterhood was highlighted, including their shared experiences battling breast cancer and their call for regular health screenings.
  • The actresses are set to reunite again at the Paley Honors gala in New York on 14 May, with Jaclyn Smith's memoir, I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie, due in September.
