Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd reunited Monday night in Los Angeles for PaleyFest’s 50th anniversary celebration of Charlie’s Angels. The three actresses posed together with glowing smiles for the camera.
Jackson wore a black-and-white ensemble, while Smith and Ladd appeared in soft pastels. The sight of the trio together carried extra weight because Jackson had not been photographed in public in over a decade before she turned up in 2023 for Smith’s son Gaston Richmond’s wedding to Bonnie Lane, and one of the last times she was seen publicly before that was at Farrah Fawcett’s funeral in Los Angeles in 2009.
That rare appearance fit the kind of attention the show drew at its height. Charlie’s Angels aired on ABC from 1976 to 1981 and first starred Jackson, Smith and the late Farrah Fawcett. Ladd replaced Fawcett after Season 1 in 1977, Jackson left two years later, and Shelley Hack and then Tanya Roberts followed. Smith was the only original cast member to appear in all five seasons.

The reunion also brought back the words the three women used in a January statement announcing the milestone. They described the series as “lighthearted” and said it had “quietly delivered the important message that women are just as capable as men.” They added that they were proud to have entertained viewers each week, given them a chance to put their feet up and forget their troubles, and, at the same time, inspire and empower young women around the world.

Jackson also reflected in that statement on the show’s unlikely rise, saying Charlie’s Angels “surprised everyone” when she, Smith and Fawcett hit the ground running and the pilot went through the glass ceiling. She said the three were soon greeted with something like rock star fame, and that Ladd later brought her own special element when she joined in the second season. Monday night’s appearance brought that history into one frame again — not as nostalgia alone, but as a reminder of how the series still defines the era that made it famous.
