BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Kate Jackson made her first public appearance in about 14 years when 'Charlie's Angels' co-star Jaclyn Smith posted a photo of their reunion on Instagram on Thursday morning, August 3. Smith and Jackson were pictured together over the weekend at the wedding party for Smith's son Gaston. Smith and Jackson are both pop culture icons as they starred together in the 1970s hit television crime series 'Charlie's Angels', alongside the late Farrah Fawcett.
At the event, the famous duo posed for pictures alongside Gaston and Smith's husband, Brad Allen. A video replay of Gaston Richmand and Bonnie Lane's wedding day included the joyful reunion of two of "Charlie's angels". In the blink-and-you-miss-it moment, the 77-year-old Smith can be seen standing next to the 74-year-old Jackson who donned white trousers, a T-shirt, a jacket, and sunglasses.
Where is Kate Jackson now?
Actress Kate Jackson, born Lucy Kate Jackson, is best known for playing Sabrina Duncan in the 'Charlie's Angels' television series, which ran from 1976 to 1981. The ABC show 'Charlie's Angels' has grown to be one of the most watched programs of the 1970s. Three full-length movies and an attempt at a TV relaunch in 2011 were both made possible by the series' popularity.
Jackson stayed on the show for three seasons, but according to People, she expressed dissatisfaction with the third season's writing and hectic shooting schedule. This eventually led to her leaving the famous TV series. She reprised her role as Sabrina Duncan in a crossover episode with 'The San Pedro Beach Bums,' and she also made an appearance in a guest role on the TV show 'James at 16.'
Jackson left 'Charlie's Angels' in 1979 and went on to star in several TV and theatrical roles in films. This featured the 1982 love drama 'Making Love,' starring Harry Hamlin, and the 1981 comedy 'Dirty Tricks,' starring Elliott Gould. However, she made a comeback to television in 1983, switching from ABC to CBS with 'Scarecrow and Mrs King,' in which she portrays the show's namesake Mrs King.
Jackson made cameos in more recent seasons of shows like 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' and 'Third Watch.' She provided the voice of Mrs. Amanda King from 'Scarecrow and Mrs King' for 'Family Guy' as well as an animated version of herself for 'American Dad!' In 2007, she had her final acting appearance as a guest star on the procedural program 'Criminal Minds,' where she played Agent Emily Prentiss's mother, Elizabeth Prentiss.
As per to Daily Mail, Jackson was married twice — first to David Greenwald from 1982 to 1984, and then to Tom Hart from 1991 to 1993. She also maintained a close relationship with Edward Albert, the lead actor of 'Butterflies Are Free.' She had a significant year in her personal life in 1995 when she underwent open heart surgery and adopted a son named Charles Taylor Jackson, per CNN. Jackson was revealed to be under contract to write her memoirs, and in 2010 she filed a $3 million lawsuit against her financial advisor. She subsequently reached a settlement in the latter case for an undisclosed amount, but her memoir has not yet been released.
'Charlie's Angels' Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith reunite!
In a video that Smith posted on Instagram from her son's wedding and afterparty, Gaston and his wife Bonnie were visible along with a number of other attendees, including Jackson, who Smith could be seen chatting with at a table. In a different image, the duo stood closely together while posing for a wedding portrait, with each of them resting an elbow on a table behind them. Jackson wore a light blue t-shirt, white pants, and a beige jacket over the ensemble, along with matching beige flats and sunglasses.
Jackson has largely avoided the spotlight, whereas Smith has continued to be visible after the series ended. She last made a public appearance at Fawcett's burial and, earlier, during a 'Charlie's Angels' reunion at the 58th Emmy Awards in 2006. 'Charlie's Angels' final episode aired more than 40 years ago, but many of its actors have kept the memories made on the sets of the show close to their hearts. Smith has even admitted to keeping a handful of her character's most memorable outfits as mementos.
