US EditionKate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd Reunite for 'Charlie's Angels' 50th Anniversary
- On Monday, April 6, 2026, original Charlie's Angels stars Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd reunited at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre for the show's 50th anniversary celebration at PaleyFest LA, receiving a standing ovation.
- Debuting on September 22, 1976, the series became a pop culture phenomenon when only three major television networks existed. Smith described it as 'groundbreaking,' noting the trio played strong detectives rather than women needing rescue.
- Ladd revealed publicly for the first time Monday that she battled an aggressive form of breast cancer. All three urged the audience to prioritize regular health screenings, with Smith recalling she sent Ladd wigs during her treatment.
- Jackson, 77, declared "I'm ready to go back" after stepping away nearly 20 years ago to raise her son. Smith prepares to release memoir 'I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie' this September.
- Five decades later, the show remains popular through reruns and a film franchise starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu. Jackson noted the series offered viewers an hour to "forget everything" while subtly proving women's capabilities.
