JACLYN SMITH

Following the success of the season premiere of Charlie’s Angels, Jaclyn Smith’s life transformation became instant. Smith, who played private investigator Kelly Garrett, was the only actual Angel to remain with the program for its entire five-year run. After the victory of Charlie’s Angel, she continued to play significant roles in films. She appeared in various movies, including Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.

Her performance in the feature won her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture. She also made an appearance in George Washington and starred in Florence Nightingale the following year. Smith, a savvy businesswoman, turned her “Angels” notoriety into a successful business partnership with K-Mart. Now at 75, Smith plunged into marketing the clothing line investment, believing that it would reflect “elegance, class, and sophistication” to justify her decisions to those who thought she had devalued her career.
