It's hard to believe, but the iconic series Charlie's Angels has returned with a fresh twist. Yet, one of its original stars, Jaclyn Smith, remains as radiant and relevant as ever. In a recent interview with Daily Mail, the 74-year-old actress shared her thoughts on the franchise's enduring appeal. "What's fascinating is how timeless the concept is and how it continues to evolve," she said. "The idea of women standing together and supporting each other feels incredibly relevant today."
Jaclyn Smith has always been a beacon of strength and resilience. As the only actress to appear in all episodes of Charlie's Angels from 1976 to 1981, she made her mark in television history. But her journey didn't stop there. In 1985, she ventured into the business world with her groundbreaking women's clothing line for Kmart. Her personal life has been equally inspiring, overcoming challenges like breast cancer and finding joy as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. "True youth comes from within," Jaclyn has often said. "It's about surrounding yourself with love and cherishing the moments you share with family."
A Life Full of Accomplishments
Jaclyn grew up in Houston with strong family values, the daughter of a dentist. While her dreams initially leaned toward becoming a ballet dancer, she eventually found fame as a model and actress. Her first two marriages were challenging due to professional jealousy. "Both of my first husbands were actors, and they struggled with my success," she told Daily Mail, referring to Roger Davis and Dennis Cole.

Love and Family
Her third marriage, to British cinematographer Anthony Richmond, lasted eight years before ending in divorce in 1989. However, it brought Jaclyn immense happiness with the birth of her children, Gaston and Spencer. "Family is the foundation of everything," Jaclyn emphasized in an interview with Woman's Day. "Even though my kids are grown now, I still cherish every moment we spend together, whether it's over dinner or just catching up."
In 1997, Jaclyn found love again with her fourth husband, surgeon Brad Allen. "Brad and I share a deep appreciation for family," she told Daily Mail. "He's been an incredible stepfather to my children, and together, we've built a life filled with love and laughter."
Grandmotherhood: The Greatest Joy
Jaclyn's joy multiplies with each new generation. Both her children have blessed her with grandchildren—Spencer's daughter, Bea, 3, and Gaston's daughter, Olivia, 7 months. "Being a grandmother is the most fulfilling experience," she gushed to People. "When you're with your grandkids, nothing else matters. It's all about being present and cherishing every moment."
