Jaclyn Smith at 80: Love, not makeup, is key

Jaclyn Smith, the enduring star of "Charlie's Angels," shared insights into maintaining her youthful appearance at age 80. At a recent event in New York City celebrating the series' 50th anniversary, Smith attributed her glowing look to "clean living" and the love of her family. She expressed deep gratitude for her husband, two children, and three granddaughters, emphasizing that family is paramount.

Smith, who portrayed Kelly Garrett from 1976 to 1981, attended The Paley Honors gala with former co-star Kate Jackson. The event marked five decades since "Charlie's Angels" debuted and became a pop culture phenomenon. Smith acknowledged the show's significant impact, stating that she and her co-stars paved the way for women to be viewed differently and for new professional opportunities.

Jackson, who has since traded Hollywood for a peaceful life on a farm in Virginia, expressed amazement at the show's enduring popularity, noting it still airs globally. Both actresses were celebrated for their timeless beauty and contributions to television history. Smith's career, spanning over five decades, began in modeling before leading to superstardom with "Charlie's Angels" and critical acclaim for other roles.
