‘Charlie’s Angels’ Goddess Jaclyn Smith, 80, Is Ageless in Pink Pajamas on the Show’s 50th Anniversary
Jaclyn Smith rose to superstardom on Charlie’s Angels, and fifty years later, she’s barely aged a day.
The legendary actress, 80, best known for her role as Kelly Garrett on the beloved TV series alongside Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, is aging like fine wine. After she left the iconic series, which ran from 1976 to 1981, she 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.
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.

Smith Still Honors Farrah Fawcett
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.
