Jaclyn Smith reveals 'Charlie's Angels' secrets in new memoir
In her new memoir, ‘I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie’, actress Jaclyn Smith reflects on her tenure on the hit series ‘Charlie’s Angels’ as it approaches its 50th anniversary. Smith, who played Kelly Garrett, shares various behind-the-scenes details regarding cast dynamics, pay disputes, and personal encounters.
Smith recalls negotiating for equal pay early in her career, noting she initially faced a lower offer than co-stars Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. She also describes the complexities of cast changes and the different personalities of her colleagues, including describing Kate Jackson as a ‘complex person’ who occasionally struggled with her temper on set.
The memoir also touches on personal life and unexpected social encounters. Smith recounts a proposition from late co-star Tanya Roberts to join her and her husband in a threesome during a flight to Hawaii, an offer Smith declined. Additionally, Smith discusses her first marriage to Roger Davis, including an incident involving actor Warren Beatty and the discovery of her husband's infidelity.
