‘Charlie’s Angels’ star Jaclyn Smith reveals how they avoided cat fights on the set of the hit show

Jaclyn Smith is shedding light on what it was really like to bring “Charlie’s Angels” to life.

The actress starred alongside Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson in the hit 1970s series about the adventures of a glamorous detective agency.

Smith insisted the claws never came out after the cameras stopped rolling, even with Fawcett as the lone blonde of the group.

“She was a real bride,” Smith told People magazine.

“She’s not a competitive bride, she wished everyone the best,” the 78-year-old clarified. “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 that dream had come true.”

“But she was funny, too,” Smith continued. “She’d say, ‘Look, your fingers aren’t fat anymore. Now you don’t have to carry napkins around.'”

Fawcett died in 2009 at the age of 62 from anal cancer. She was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. Before her death, the star launched the Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which raises money for cancer research and education.

Smith will serve as co-chair of the foundation’s annual gala on Oct. 24 in Dallas. Fawcett was born in Corpus Christi, Texas.

“Charlie’s Angels” ended in 1981. But the memories live on, Smith told the network.

“It was so innocent,” Smith said. “Families saw our show, young people. People who saw this show grew up with us. … There are shows that come along and make a mark. It was the first of its kind.”

Fawcett left “Charlie’s Angels” at the end of the first season in 1976, returning as a guest star in six episodes during the third and fourth seasons (1978–1980). Fellow blonde Cheryl Ladd was chosen by Aaron Spelling to play Fawcett’s younger sister.

In 2021, Ladd told Fox News Digital that he initially turned down the role. But with enough conviction, he took the plunge.

“It was stressful,” Ladd admitted.

“Because the year and the season was all about Farrah,” he said. “When Farrah decided to leave the show (in 1980), I think it was very shocking to her fans and everyone who loved the show.”

Ladd said she was determined to break the ice.

“My first day on the job, I wore a T-shirt that said, ‘Farrah Fawcett Minor,’ because it was ‘Farrah Fawcett Majors,'” Ladd said. “Everybody laughed. I made a lot of friends right away. I went to work and expected Kris Munroe’s character to be funny and quirky. I wanted him to be someone people could root for. I was very relieved when the ratings went up that season.”

When Ladd, 73, joined the cast of “Charlie’s Angels,” he got his wings and a decades-long friendship. She and Smith are best friends to this day.

“We see each other all the time,” Ladd said. “I see her in LA all the time when I’m there. We have lunch and hang out. We talk on the phone all the time. We ended up being really good friends. Lifelong friends.”

“It’s really interesting because when you do something so specific, so iconic, and you’re there when it was huge, it’s something you can tell people about, but until you do it, it’s different,” he continued. “We often think about how crazy it was back then. We had to go to restaurants through the back door. We weren’t prepared for how much people would love the show. It was wonderful, but it was wild.”
