Kate Jackson – Then
Every angel had her thing, and for Sabrina, that was her intellect. The character clearly shone through even the overwhelming star of Farrah Fawcett. After three seasons (she even lasted longer than Farrah), Kate decided to leave the show.
Before her time as an Angel, Kate worked in Hollywood for years. She had a long-standing role on the original Dark Shadows and even had her own show called The Rookies. But by far, she is remembered for the role of Sabrina the most.
Kate Jackson – Now
In 1983 Kate came back to television for a lead role in the television show Scarecrow and Mrs. King. And for four seasons, this show kept her busy. The following year after that show ended, she returned to TV with a show called Baby Boom.
Since 2009 Kate hasn’t appeared on television. She has, however, been active from a philanthropic point of view and is a strong voice for charities.
Jaclyn Smith – Then
Almost all the Angels left at some point, that is, except for Kelly. Jaclyn Smith hung on for the entire run of the show. Prior to the show, Jaclyn had done some work in commercials and even had worked with Farrah before the show.
Through the iconic show’s entire run, Jaclyn worked on her craft and eventually ended up becoming a pretty talented actress. But her run on Charlie’s Angels is the role she is remembered for.
Jaclyn Smith – Now
Right after the Angels took their last case, Jaclyn took on the heavy role of playing Jackie O. in a movie about the stunning first lady’s life. She also found her way into many TV movie roles throughout the ’80s and ’90s.
Eventually, she got a recurring role in 2002 on a television show called The District. She even played Kelly Garrett, her role from Charlie’s Angels, in the 2019 reboot. Today she still works and also has her own fashion line.
Cheryl Ladd – Then
When Farrah left the show a year after it premiered, the show needed to find someone to fill her shoes. They ended up casting Cheryl Ladd as Farrah’s character’s younger sister, Kris. Cheryl hadn’t intended to become an actor at all, though.
In fact, before this, Cheryl focused on music and even voiced Melody in the cartoon Josie and the Pussycats. But she did such a great job she continued through the rest of the show and beyond.
Cheryl Ladd – Now
Using her popularity from the show, Cheryl continued working on her music. This dedication ended up earning her a gold record. Along with that, though, Cheryl has let up with her acting.
She has been in many made for TV movies over the years. Her last film was just released for the holidays last year. Outside of work, she works as an ambassador for the nonprofit organization called Childhelp.
Shelley Hack – Then
Like when Farrah left, the producers needed to find another Angel. This was done with a character named Tiffany Welles, which was played by Shelley Hack. Shelley had been a teen model, and her looks and the clever way she played the role seemed at first to be a winning combination.
But the ratings began to dip, and after one season, the producers decided they needed something new, and they cut her from the show.
Shelley Hack – Now
After that, Shelley had a series of failed television shows. This started with Cutter to Houston and continued in 1986 with a show called Jack and Mike. Shelley continued acting for another decade before retiring from acting in 1997.
After that, she returned to school and began doing work in politics. She and her husband also own a media company. Smash Media produces content for movies and TV shows.
David Doyle – Then
You really didn’t see Charlie at all on the show, which made the role of Bosley very important. This role was played by David Doyle. Along with David Forsythe, he was one of the big stars that were cast in this show. He had been working in Hollywood since the mid-1950s.
Because of his masterful portrayal, David was able to capture a few big roles. He had roles in both Vigilant Force in 1976 and in 1977’s Capricorn One.
David Doyle – Now
Doyle continued working in the film industry even after the show ended. Eventually, the talented actor worked his way into voice work as well.
Many of the ’90s kids would recognize his voice from Rugrats. But he also worked on animated shows like Sonic the Hedgehog and Darkwing Duck. He voiced Grandpa Pickles in that show until he passed away in 1997, at his home in Encino.
Farrah Fawcett – Then
Farrah Fawcett was cast as athletic Jill Munroe. Many think the success of the show rested in her charismatic persona. Prior to kicking the bad guy’s backsides, Farah spent her time modeling and doing commercial work.
One of these shoots actually helped her land her big film break in Logan’s Run. Here she met one of her future husbands. It was released the same year as Charlie’s Angels began. But a year later, Farrah would decide that the role was slightly degrading and opt to leave the show.
Farrah Fawcett – Now
The Charlie’s Angels role earned Farrah Fawcett many nominations, but she never won. After she left Charlie’s Angels in 1977, she worked a little in both film and television, but nothing ever came from it. Instead, her personal life kept her in the public eye.
In 2009, Fawcett released the critically acclaimed documentary Farrah’s Story, detailing the latter years of her life. Her work as a producer on the project earned her a fourth Emmy nomination. She passed away that same year.
David Forsythe – Then
Charlie was never actually seen on the screen. Instead, we listened to his voice through a loudspeaker. Even though we only heard the voice, that voice was still a vital part of the show and voiced by the legendary David Forsythe.
Forsythe had been working in Hollywood for years when he got the role. Starting all the way back with his first picture, Hitchcock’s The Trouble With Harry. He even had his own show in the ’60s.
David Forsythe – Now
David Forsythe’s most notable role after the end of Angels was on the nighttime soap Dynasty. He played the dashing patriarch of the Carrington family, Blake. This show lasted eight seasons and even had a spin-off.
He would continue working on and off for the next few decades. His voice reprised its famous role in the 2003 Charlie’s Angels film. In 2010, the talented actor passed away.
Tanya Roberts – Then
With the firing of Shelley Hack, the producers were in the hunt for another replacement. They looked at 2000 women, and of those, they decided to go with Tanya Roberts. This beautiful brunette joined the show in the last season as Julie Rogers.
Tanya had already had some success with her first role in the horror movie The Last Victim. Unfortunately, though the producers hoped that the new addition would help the ratings, it didn’t, and the series was canceled after 5 seasons.
Tanya Roberts – Now
After the end of the show, Tanya went on to star in some of the ’80s best B-movies. Of those, Beastmaster with Marc Singer was probably her biggest role. She also posed for Playboy and was even a Bond Girl.
Tanya disappeared for a while and then gained some fame as Midge on That 70s Show. She left the show when her husband became ill. The beautiful actress recently passed away at the age of 65.
