Quotes

• [In 2009, a day after Farrah Fawcett died] When the first year of “Charlie’s Angels” ended, our friendship didn’t. It just grew stronger and closer through the years. I don’t know what the connection that the three of us have is, but it is there, and it is something extremely special. I think that is the reason the show worked. I think it’s even better than the movies because we truly cared about each other and still do. It was a pleasure and a privilege.
• When you think about “Charlie’s Angels,” you think about three specific people. You think about Farrah Fawcett, and Jaclyn Smith, and me. So the only problem with the Charlie’s Angels (2000) movie might be, Charlie’s Angels aren’t in it.
• [talking about the film versions of Charlie’s Angels (1976)] I think they missed the mark. In the TV show, Farrah [Farrah Fawcett], Jaclyn [Jaclyn Smith] and I were best friends who cared for each other and I think that came through in the acting. In the movies, they were too busy competing with each other, trying to see who could jump the highest or wear the tightest clothes.
• I’d rather share the glory of a hit than star by myself in a flop.
• [on her Charlie’s Angels (1976) days] It was good when it was good . . . and when it wasn’t good, it was bad.

Facts

• She had developed an unfair reputation for being difficult on “Charlie’s Angels” (1976).

She locked herself in with her trailer with Farrah and Jaclyn and told the producers that the door was stuck and won’t open. The three had their lunch for 45 minutes, when the producers struggled to open the door and begged them to pose for “Time” magazine, which they did in the last 15 minutes of their lunch hour.
• She had seen her “Charlie’s Angels” 1976) co-stars long before they were cast in the hit show.

Luckily, she stayed and became a star. She met Jaclyn Smith at an audition for another show and they became friends. Jaclyn and Farrah had worked together before on a Max Factor commercial and they knew each other.
