Jaclyn Smith Reveals How She Went From ‘Charlie’s Angels’ To Fashion Empire | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@goldenboy7819]

That Charlies Angeles reboot trying to modernize and update some years ago, failed because no one could touch the original angels (Jackson, Fawcett, Smith).

[@fitzytail896]

Which Reboot?

[@dougk5]

@@fitzytail896 it was only on for four episodes and got cancelled

[@aileenwagner2576]

Nothing beats the original!!!

[@joestim8707]

Eddie Johnson true, true& I, saw both movies; & there was 0 comparison!

[@Amtran727]

@@fitzytail896 I think it was on in 2011. But the original was so good, there is no room to improve on it. One thing on the reboot that I didn't like at all was that they had the character of Bosley(played perfectly as the bumbling, almost goofy liason between the angels and Charlie in the 70s original show by actor David Doyle) as someone young, good looking and suave. It didn't work at all.

[@loriflynn78]

When I was little I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world, and now that I'm not little she's still the most beautiful woman in the world.

[@pappysprite]

It really comes across how gracious and unpretentious she is...I mean her tip was Albolene cream...its an inexpensive drugstore item and it works for her. I think she is stunning and if I just met this woman on the street I would guess her minimally 20 years less. Good for her. It is an example for us all, women and men, not to get caught up in the fashion labels and expensive skincare. Truth be told, skincare is the biggest joke of them all. Many experts have stated drugstore brands just as good as those most expensive skincare out there. She was wearing pants for under $20 and looked like a million.

[@treystephens6166]

Yes. I preferred her the most.

[@1Channel1]

Her voice has always been HORRIBLE. I started laughing in shock the first time I heard her original voice, after watching her with her gorgeous dubbing voice in French. In France, they sounded so intellectual, smart, poised, assertive. In USA, it is like fingernails on a blackboard, their voices. I don't know which one was worse her or Kate Jackson's. So whiney, nasal and high pitched. Farrah's was ok but the most gorgeous voice forevermore belongs to Shelley Hack. I couldn't believe how soothing and elegant her voice was then! Much better than even in French!

[@armanikalai1053]

Jaclyn Smith was the most beautiful woman in "Charlie's Angels", and she is still beautiful. I know that Jaclyn Smith doesn't believe in fillers and hasn't done any cutting. She uses her own fat. It really is remarkable because she hasn't erased her beautiful face. Unlike other celebrities that have gone overboard with too much plastic surgery and are unrecognizable. Case in point Mickey Rourke. He has completely erased his good looks. Not even a single trace was left of his former self. Look at all the famous celebrities that live in California & Hollywood, at some point, they all start to look like felines. With too much plastic surgery & stretching of their eyes. Don't those people know that their faces are the first thing people look at is your face?

[@valleygirl2530]

You’re easily deceived. She’s had many professional facial enhancements.

"You were holding your own, and that's saying something when you're next to Farah Fawcett." Um...Megyn is the worst interviewer EVER. What a horrible thing to say. If Jaclyn Smith wanted to say something like that - it would have been a nice homage to Fawcett - but coming from Megyn it was insulting.

[@joannaherodotou1491]

Exactly, and Megyn isn't that great to be making such comments!!

[@jamilgotcher5456]

I don't think what Megyn said was that bad, everyone knows Farrah was the star. Jaclyn was and is still beautiful, Farrah was beautiful but her bubbly personality and movie star smile gave a more approachable vibe which always equals greater popularity. Especially for men, they like women to be uncomplicated. lol
