It's Friday, so tell me (more) about Kate Jackson.

Previous thread

Do your own research, bitch!

I think I heard one time that she was almost cast in Kramer vs. Kramer but couldn’t get time off to do it. Might just be a rumor though. I don’t remember where I heard it. Wonder if anyone on the DL has ever mentioned it?

Well, hello gorgeous Angel :)

Which one of you bought the Kate doll for $5,100.00?

I don't want a doll. I want Sabrina's Pinto. The real one!

Time for my favorite dyke!

Here's to a bright weekend, Angels.

Honest question- Why is there no kind of update on her? No current pictures or anything? No interviews?

Her husband, Andrew (son of actress Stella Stevens) took her to the cleaners in their divorce settlement.

After Scarecrow and Mrs. King ended, I offered her a job as a cleaning woman in my hotel.

She wishes she had tits like mine!

R9 Kate has chosen to live a very private life. It's her right to do so. There is no need for a celebrity to share their lives, do interviews etc. when they are retired. Someone who runs a social media account knows Kate Jackson personally and is in touch with her frequently. She made it possible for Kate's fans to write a personal message for her earlier this year. People from all over the world. Kate responded immediately, feeling very fortunate, saying she was so grateful for the genuine affection of every person who took the time to write. That was very sweet.

Do not believe everything you read about Kate. People read something on social media and spread it. Awful and vile gossip. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Sabrina's apartment

The rare Sabrina/Bosley trading card.

She has what my mother used to call a "severe face". It has something to do with the shape of the eyebrows, but even when they're happy , people with severe faces always look angry.

If your mother said so. Nice try, though.

That is another thing I miss from the 70s since actors are now all botox bunnies and are unable to be genuinely subtle. Kate's facial expressions did not give away that much of her emotions, yet it's easy to see what she is thinking.

No outfit is complete without a Sabrina Duncan pendant.

She's still a mediocre, has-been actress no matter how many Friday's come and go.

Hey Cheryl R12! Ed here! I see you're ready. I'll write another Kris centered episode for you. Just come on over!

The Kate Jackson troll is back with its tales of knowing someone who has access to the homeless shelter where Kate lives, with no computer, no phone, and no running water.

Haha the crazy, jealous bitch is back. Don't you have a place to go? I mean I know you're stuck in your van at the trailer park. Free yourself, unlock the door, talk to someone! Your mental instability needs to be treated, though. For now, find some shelter. There must be some DL Cheryl or Shelley threads. You could worship them there, in a safe place. And you could hate on anyone else. Create a thread, do something but do us a favor. Stop whining, stop lying! Get better! And most importantly: get HELP!

Cheryl Ladd is a kind and generous performer, Who is loved by all cast members and crew.

^ But her pussy stank.

Doesn't Cheryl The Cold Bitch Ladd have her own thread? On the other hand she's not popular on DL so how should she. Aren't there any Ladd née Stoppelmoor fans except for the crazy loon who keeps coming back here?

R26 I'm a Farrah fan, you psychotic, lonely, lying Kate Jackson CUNT!

R13 Sounds like a wonderful idea! I bet Kate loved the messages she got from everyone!

Cheryl Lad took that show to #1 during its 2nd season. Those are the facts. Im sure Kate thought the show would flop when Farrah left and Cheryl replaced her. I really give Cheryl credit.

I agree. Cheryl did a good job replacing Farrah. Everyone was worried it wouldn't work out but it did. I like season 1 and 2! But Cheryl also got by because there were still two original Angels on board. Once Kate left the show suffered and no replacement could save it. There wasn't much Shelley could do about it. No replacement would have worked. They did Shelley dirty.

[quote] how many Friday's come and go

Oh, dear!

R31 Today is Sunday, hon.

R28 She did! Kate received a pdf by email. About 30 pages with all the personal messages her fans had written for her. People from the US, Canada, Argentina, Columbia, more than 10 European countries, Australia, NZ and a couple of Asian countries. From a 13 year old girl, an 18 year old guy (who also added a message from his grandmother) up to folks in their 80s! And everyone who had contributed to this lovely surprise for Kate Jackson received the document with all the messages as well! It was fun and touching to read and see the love for Kate.

A young Kate on Bonanza.

R34 God that was awful. But I did like her hair, and the lecherous Ben Cartwright impersonator..

Even without playing the clip at R34, you can see what a horrible actress she is. She's one of those who can't BARE to look at her costar, so she looks WAAAAY off screen at some inanimate object instead.

Kate Jackson was a Mercury girl in her day!

Just two dykes hanging out.

Let me tell you about Cheryl Ladd. I was a shopbottom in Weho in 1984. We didn’t have the item she wanted, so she asked me to call around to other stores to see if they had it. I was young and naive, so instead of telling her to fuck off I called a few places. As I dialed (yes, dialed) the phone, I could feel icy stares on me and heard giggles, and I realized that she and her daughters (?) were making fun of me, the fag who had to work in for a living serving them. They really were mean girls. Well, the daughters were girls. She was closer to middle age. Trashy insecure childish behavior.

I daydream that Kate would have been much nicer, or at least had manners.

A parade of turtlenecks!

R39. Cheryl had 1 daughter in 1984, but good try...

She dated some hot men early on, Warren Beatty and Edward Albert. And was married to this one, Andrew Stevens for three years?

R39 Thanks for sharing! Not surprised to hear that. I never understood Cheryl Ladd's appeal. As Kris (and as herself) she lacked warmth, seemed cold. Ladd has a daughter so the second girl was likely her daughter's friend.

A Datalounger who worked on the Charlie’s Angels set tells it like it is. Someone who was never interviewed because he was a no-name but he witnessed some stuff when Kate, Farrah, Jaclyn and a certain Cheryl were there. You won't be surprised to hear what he says about Ladd.

This is an excerpt (the whole reply 166 in the thread "Ladd Still Hurt About Charlie's Angeles Reunion Snub").

"Kate didn't hate Cheryl because she replaced Farrah. That's nonsense. Cheryl is the bitch- not Kate. I worked on Charlie's Angels the first couple of seasons. What a fucking madhouse. But Kate was very nice to people, including the people working on the set who weren't "stars". People liked her. She was more down to Earth in many ways.

Farrah was very sweet, and she had a great sense of humor in the sense that she'd laugh at everyone's jokes (even when they were rather lame. :)) She was beautiful, but I always remember her as being rather petite (which is not really borne out by the videos i see of her). I remember her that way though. I don't think she was very tall.

That set was fucking crazy.There was so much activity all the time, it drove me crazy. Hair and make-up (people) were always flying around between takes, and it drove Kate crazy frankly. :) I don't think Jackie was too crazy about it either. Farrah was always such a damn good sport, she never seemed to mind. I never met an actress who was so agreeably nice all the time. It got annoying sometimes. :) But the other girls loved her.

Cheryl was a fucking nuisance from day one. She seemed nice enough at first, but that fucking husband of hers was always showing up on set "monitoring" her treatment. He worked in the biz, if I remember correctly, and I think his dad had been a movie star from the great old days. I don't remember who. What an asshole! And for someone who was plucked from obscurity she acted like her shit didn't stink. She ordered people around like she was the Queen of Sheba. I remember her ordering someone to get her a soft drink once, and the poor girl brought her the wrong one. you would've thought the girl had killed her dog, the way that Ladd carried on. I know that Kate hated her for that shit. Kate was a pro-she never treated people like that. There was a rumor going around the set once that Kate and Jackie called her "the witch" behind her back, and that wouldn't surprise me. She was not a nice person.

Plus, Ladd and her husband were BIG time Republicans. And very conservative. Now, this did not sit well with Jackson who was always a big liberal. I have no idea what Jackie was politically, but when Ladd started talking politics, Jackie would apparently always find some polite excuse to leave.

You have to understand- Farrah had been a ray of sunshine on that set. She was always so goddamn pleasant and happy. :) Then Ladd comes along, and she's a little bitch who acts like the world owes her something, and that she should be treated like a Queen. That creates a LOT of tension, particularly given the comparison. And Ladd really didn't have much interest in befriending the other girls anyway- she was really not a friendly girl"

She gave off an amazing lesbian vibe.

That may be what drove Michael Ontkean to gayness in the groundbreaking 1982 movie Making Love.

R41 The Kate Jackson troll will go to the ends the earth to destroy Cheryl Ladd.

Regardless of Ladd's religious affiliation or political party, I am glad to see that it's smear campaign against Kris Munroe is not working!

R43 you are seriously psychotic. How many times are you going to repost your BS Charlie's Angels insider story???

It's Friday, so once again let's tell the TRUTH about Kate Jackson

Kate Jackson is a drug user.

Kate Jackson is a hoarder.

Kate Jackson is no longer welcome in Hollywood because HER horrible behavior on sets.

I’ve mentioned this here before, but back in the 90s in went on a few dates with this guy who had lived in LA and had worked in the biz. He said he had worked with Cheryl Ladd and she was a lesbian. Told me her girlfriend was another actress, but I don’t remember who he said. This dude was a mess, so who knows. I asked him if he was SURE he meant Cheryl Ladd, and he was adamant. Seems like a weirdly random thing to make up, but again, consider the source.

The Cheryl Ladd troll in another severe meltdown this weekend R46. Just like two weeks ago R27. His behavior is embarrassing and alarming. The same old lies about Kate Jackson. Cheryl Ladd is a hard-core right winger but that doesn't bother that nutcase. Why am I not surprised! This Cheryl loon is a rag sheet worshipper, his level of intelligence as low as it gets. Mentally unstable or malicious. Probably both.

It’s interesting to read R39 encounter with arrogant Ladd. Then what the guy on the Charlie’s Angels set says about Ladd R43. No coincidence that’s for sure! That says it all: "I remember her ordering someone to get her a soft drink once, and the poor girl brought her the wrong one. you would've thought the girl had killed her dog, the way that Ladd carried on. I know that Kate hated her for that shit. Kate was a pro-she never treated people like that."

It's Friday...

For your feets

It just hurts my heart that Kate Jackson didn’t score Michael Ontkean. He’s no Richard Hatch, but still...he was fuckable.

Kate and Chaz Bono

I love Datalounge.

Only here would we have a war between fans of actresses from a 70's female TV show... And it will go on for another hundred years still.

I had such a crush on Kate as a young gay boy.

Why?

What did Kate think of Cheryl on the set of Spelling's production of Satan's School For Girls in '73?

R52 Cute pic. Chaz, then Chastity Bono, had a huge crush on Kate Jackson.

Is Kate still homeless?

R33 Very cool! Shame I missed this opportunity. I would've loved to send a personal email message to Kate. But love to see the love for her from so many fans around the globe!

Kate with Cher, Vitas Gerulaitis, & Ron Duguay in Vegas

Love that pic! The guy sitting next to Kate is actually Swedish tennis pro Björn Borg. He was No. 1 for many years throughout the 70's.

It's Saturday!

The episode in question

More Kate Jackson car commercials!

R62 R63 In the book "Live From New York: The Complete, Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live as Told by Its Stars, Writers, and Guests" Kate Jackson says:

"After I had hosted the show, we went to the bar that John and Dan owned. And Joni Mitchell was there, and there were musicians and other writers, and it was a terrific group of people to be around in such a small room. But it got to be the time for me to leave, because I had an early flight in the morning, and Billy Murray walked me out to the car. I got in and closed the door and as we were beginning to pull out, I turned around and looked behind me and there was Billy, standing in the street, waving. Snow was falling all around him - just the sweetest thing. I had been terrified of hosting. I was so afraid. But I knew that I had to do it, it was one of those things where you’re really afraid to do something and you know you have to take the chance. You just have to push yourself and do it. And I remember saying to a friend of mine who went with me, „Well, I’ll never do that again, because it will never get that good again. That was as good as it gets.""

Kate needs to reboot Scarecrow and Mrs. King and star as the head of The Agency.

She was the biggest star to ever be on Dark Shadows, and would let you know it.

Kate Jackson was (is) a pretty woman, so I can't imagine how incredibly awkward it must have been for her to be continually regarded as the -- ahem -- "smart" one in Charlie's Angels. Hollywood can be pretty rough. She was the Vivian Vance of the 1970s.

Joan Bennett was a MUCH bigger star than Kate Jackson ever was.

Who is Joan Bennett?

Hilarious to consider Jackson's fans think that if ONLY Meryl Streep hadn't stolen HER part in Kramer vs. Kramer, that she would've had a huge career in movies. Yeah right. That must be why she was reduced to doing car commercials 15-20 years later...

I don't remember reading where anyone said Streep stole her part R71 .

One of those nostalgia channels was showing a marathon of The Rookies last weekend. That was a childhood favorite in my household. Kate played a supporting role. On a side note, why is the picture blurry on so many of those channels?

R72, I ran into some fangurls about a year ago on youtube that offered up that ridiculous argument/rationale. But they had nothing to back it up rationally. Just checked and the comments have been deleted.

Well, this is not Youtube. It's DL. This thread is about DL fave Kate Jackson. It's not about Meryl Streep. Unless a Streep fan (and Kate hater) makes some arrogant claim. So relax and enjoy the ride. R72 is correct.

R69

Darling, it was joke.

[quote] On a side note, why is the picture blurry on so many of those channels?

Because your eyes are old.

While closing the show (SNL R63), Kate shouts 'I love you Andrew!" in reference to her then husband Andrew Stevens.

Little did she know the Brinks truck was on its way to her house...

[quote] Little did she know the Brinks truck was on its way to her house...

To tag team a lubed-up Andy?

While on The Match Game, she wrote notes saying hello and whatnot to "Egg" on her cards. Egg was her nickname for Edward Albert.

I thought that was me!

Or me

R63 John Belushi was in a terrible state prior to the show airing on Feb. 24, 1979. He had been out with Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and he was a mess. He was coughing, he looked terrible and the doctor said ‘John can’t go on’.

Kate Jackson didn’t know that. „I heard later that paramedics had been called over to the studio and were standing by for John all through the show. But John didn't miss the show. He was perspiring a little bit. But he never, never went way off on a wrong tangent, never went off the cards, or never messed anything up that made it hard for me to get back on track. He did what he was supposed to do.

John called me afterwards. For weeks he would call me on Thursday afternoons just to say hello and to thank me for saving his life. 'Wow,' he’d say. 'Katie, man, you really saved my life, wow, and thank you.' And I frankly didn’t know what he was talking about. I didn’t know why he was calling; he was just so sweet, you know. Danny had told me, 'John is a bad boy, but a good man.‘ "

Remember when Kate Jackson announced her autobiography "The Smart One" in 2001?

Release dates kept getting put off.

20 years later bitch still can't finish it!

R85

Not while Stella's alive. That bitch will cut her if she badmouths Andy.

I've been rewatching Angels and I really like Kate's understated, natural beauty. I can't imagine what she would look like with hideously injected lips that's so popular these days, I doubt it would be an improvement, her thin lips work with her face

They also work to attract the ladies!

Having an obvious dyke on a prime time show back then gave a lot of young women courage to come out. For that I give Jackson credit.

Wait a minute...................... Shelley, Cheryl and Meryl.

How in all that is holy did R87 get 18 WWs? 😳

Great chemistry, best friends, the original Angels.

Let's not. Ever again.

Kate & Sam Melville reunited in the 80s

Why did Kate Jackson’s career go straight down the shitter?

"It may come as no surprise that a gay photographer was among those who helped shape the glamorous image of Charlie's Angels. Donald Sanders was in the right place at the right time. A still photographer working for ABC in the mid '70s, he was given the opportunity to stand in for a higher ranking photog, Bert Middleman, to shoot some "bimbos" on a show that Middleman assured Sanders was a joke and a dud. Sanders was hungry and thought it sounded like fun, and coincidentally was already friends with Farrah Fawcett.

The three young ladies on the show — Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith — were indeed beautiful, but Sanders was told to play it down, to give them a "casual California" look. And these stills, unretouched, show exactly how beautiful they were.

Sanders was in other "right place, right time" moments, like being able to cover the first Gay Pride parade in Hollywood in 1970."

Kate on Hollywood Squares (2001)

KJ & Chevy Chase at his very cutest.

With Jaclyn

Live out your Sabina fantasy!

Recent-ish pic.

Still skinny, I'll give her that.

R99, well we know who wears the pants in that relationship.

Great actress; too bad she didn't get the Streep role in Kramer

Would have altered her trajectory

She doesn’t look like she’s living in her van anymore @ r101. (Or is that the van, behind her?)

"Kate Jackson remembers Farrah Fawcett"

12 years ago today Farrah passed away. This article was published two days later.

Given the success of her TV career and the handful of successful shows she was on, I think it's sad and rather surprising that she is now not financially well off. I guess a few bad choices and a few bad men can make short work of a girl's nest egg.

R104: Ruh-oh. It's the "Kate Could've Had Meryl's Career" Troll!

R106 A beautiful tribute. BFFs.

Ah yes, my Friday night ritual of donning on my favorite turtleneck, logging on to DL, and reminiscing about Kate Jackson while I cradle my mug.

For the dl drag queens!

R108, I'm not R104, but I don't think the argument is that she would have had Meryl's career, just a different path for herself.

Working with a great director and cast would have likely have changed Kate's career for the better. It was a lost opportunity.

Anyhow, it's a tired topic. Kate had a better career than most aspiring actors and left her mark.

R10 I have a lovely vintage mug perfect for cradling and scrolling DL while I reflect on Ms. Jackson.

It's put me in the mood for some Dark Shadows.

Picnicking with Cher & Jane Fonda. Don't know if it was on a Friday...

[quote]R111 For the dl drag queens!

No drag queen wants to dress up as Kate Jackson.

(Sadly, this was her downfall.)

R114 Those were the times!

Kate looks like a butcher Cristina Raines in r114

Fonda had great hair, but that color is no picnic for my eyes.

Maybe that was during Fonda’s “China Syndrome” era.

Nuclear red?

CHINA SYNDROME and KRAMER VS. KRAMER were in pre production at the same time. I wonder if Fonda thought, “Oh, this chick is gonna be a movie star” for 5 (mistaken) minutes, and had her over (?)

Just three gals R114 who would spend their weekends at Jane's ranch in Santa Barbara. Enjoying some make-up free, carefree moments away from the Hollywood craziness. The kids in the pic are: Troy Garity, Vanessa Vadim and Chastity Bono. The photo was taken in spring/early summer 1978.

Here is Kate in the pilot for Arly Hanks.

Arly Hanks is a 1993 American television pilot based on the first book of Joan Hess's series Malice in Maggody. Written by Sean Clark and directed by Arlene Sanford, it screened on CBS on August 20, 1994. Due to low ratings, the show was removed from the CBS season. Filmed in Atlanta, Georgia,[1] the plot centered on Arly Hanks (Kate Jackson) who, after divorcing her husband, leaves her life in New York City and returns to her small hometown of Maggody, Arkansas. She becomes Sheriff of Maggody and deals with mischievous residents while solving mysteries. (Wikipedia)

5's Company

Kate looks terrified that she’s being touched by a man in that pic.

R108; God, no; I don't think Kate could have had Meryl's career.

I don't think Meryl could have gotten two Emmy nominations for playing Sabrina Duncan either.

Two different women. But getting that role would have gotten her other ones.

Kate's a great actress.

R124 That's when Kate and Cher met for the first time and became friends.

Cher probably liked dikey Kate because she’d lick her pussy.

Anytime, anywhere.

Our Sabrina Duncan had the best undercover assignments.

R129, one of my favorite CA episodes and favorite undercover roles for Sabrina; the other angels could never pull those off; none of them, not really.

"Mrs. Bosley" was scarier than the villains in those scenes.

Kate Jackson and fellow actor Taylor Lacher.

^ I remember him from a CA episode where he gave Sabrina some information about a case he was mixed up in. She said "why are you so good to me?" and he replied: "Because I'm hoping you'll be good to me." I nearly missed the fainting couch.

You're right R132. I was just going to post this. Kate and Taylor had great chemistry.

Oooh Angels on the Air is also the ep with Linda Dano! It's got everything!

Remember when Kate showed up for the first ep of season 3 with a new haircut? I think Nolan Miller said that Kate called him pre-season 3 with a new interest in getting all dolled up for the third season, but it only lasted one episode and she was back to the regular.

It aged her about 5 years though.

Same ol lez Sabrina Duncan.

I grew up down the street from Kate in Mountain Brook. If you wonder where she got her exotic but attractive features, you would not need to look any further than her mother. Kate is a much taller version of her late mother. She had a sister who was a clone of their father. She was always very nice and I'm sorry that she hasn't had the best luck lately.

R138 Thanks for sharing! Kate Jackson is my favorite actress and a striking beauty. Great to get some insight from someone who grew up down the street from her.

The haircut AND Andrew Stevens aged her five years.

I think the point of that hairdo was to age her; Sabrina was paired with Dean Martin's character.

Dean's character was a gambler whose guts and wits were smarter than James Hong -- that Asian guy who's in EVERYTHING who had a calculator and math on his side at the craps table.

Or maybe it was blackjack.

Yeah, Hong has 442 credits; he was born in 1929 and he's STILL WORKING

R138 Thank you for sharing!

What was her family like?

Great post R138! Just reminds me of a Utube post I saw recently. James R. wrote: "I went to high school with Kate Jackson at Mt. Brook. She never changed. She always remained grounded and was always kind."

Kate Jackson sends her regards!!

"I can handle anything. But, I can't handle the silence."

“I can handle anything. But, I can't handle being dropped from [italic]Kramer vs. Kramer."

My exesh were never shilent!

R145 Kate Jackson is a terrific actress! This is such a powerful scene. I experienced the same situation at one point in my life. A partner that went silent, wouldn't laugh, nothing. I couldn't get him to speak. I should have done the same like Claire. And it's exactly how I felt! "I can handle anything. But, I can't handle the silence."

With Joan Collins and Joan's ex, Peter Holm.

Last night, GET aired the two-parter of CA introducing Tiffany. The explanation for Sabrina's absence was she ran off and got married, and was pregnant. I bet Kate was pissed, if she even ever knew.

R149 Kate looks stunning,

R150 The producers didn't try hard enough. Nothing new. And at that point I don't think Kate cared any longer. She left at the right time. And CA was in big trouble.

R150 / R151 Shelley just sold her house. Kate lives in a van down by the river.

#ShelleyWins

Honestly, I wonder what poor Kate’s life is actually like. Does she go out? Does she spend her days throwing water glasses at the wall?

I bet she has 4 dogs.

When the original Charlie's Angels won the People's Choice award in 1977. What a moment.

Great find R155! Such a joy to watch Kate, Jaclyn, Farrah and David. True friends. And Kate was so excited, so hilarious and charming. They had a blast and the audience loved it!

Does Shelley have offspring?

Is Kate barren?

Kate was pregnant in 1992 when she was in her early forties. Sadly she had a miscarriage and was told this was her last chance to have a child.

I bet she faked the whole thing, “for a little publicity.”

She has an adopted son (mentioned upthread). You never see any pictures of the two of them together. He’d be an adult now.

Her son's not mentioned upthread.

R161 Pictures with her son?

Nobody's seen a picture of "The old crazy recluse" since 2010!!

I didn't know that R159. That had to be devastating for Kate. I'm glad she had the chance to adopt a child.

"Kate Jackson as Sabrina" iron-on T-shirt decal from 1976.

R165. I found this shirt in a thrift store and wore it to a pool party -I got so much attention. People expect Farrah, no one imagined that Sabrina had her own iron on

I would wear! Love it!

Poor Kate. On the upside, her van was not in the path of Ida.

Iconic Sabrina Duncan steals a truck and gets arrested. One of my favorite Kate Jackson scenes on Angels. Great fun!

^^^Kate was giving Bonnie Franklin a run for her money in that scene.

R169 Yeah, this is fav Sabrina Duncan scene and it has it all: suspense, action and humor. Perfect for Kate. Pity they didn't show the whole scene. Right after Sabrina gets arrested we see all the Angels and Bos arriving at the agency late at night. And we learn that Kris, Kelly and Bos had to bail her out and they wonder what Charlie's gonna say. Very entertaining and fun.

Titless Lesbo du jour!

You got it R171 This is one of the many great Sabrina moments.

Candid 70s shot of Kate & Penny Marshall

So sad - our Kate is the last surviving cast member of that timeless classic “Death Cruise”.

Little seen interview with Kate

9/11: Someone here mentioned last year I think, that Kate and her son had been on vacation at Martha's Vineyard in September 2001. They were supposed to be on flight American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to LA (the first plane that was hijacked and crashed into the North Tower of the WTC). However, Kate decided to extend their stay. They were the lucky ones, like many others who rebooked or missed their flight etc. That moment when you realize...

Someone on Twitter is trying to find out if Kate Jackson was in Pittsburgh summer of 1977.

Maybe it was noted imposter, Carol Brewster.

Does Kate look a little like Jaclyn here?

Gorgeous dress in R180.

I could use some Kate Jackson for my Friday night.

1991 video with Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl. The tension and dislike between Kate and Cheryl is palpable.

^ Jaclyn doesn’t sense the tension as she’s too preoccupied thinking about the new shelter kitten she recently adopted.

Jac wasn't thinking about what she'd name the kitten. They were all called--

I know the show was almost rebooted in the late 1980s but why didn't any of the original run Angels reunite for TV movies in the 1990s. If it was good enough for Cagney and Lacey...

R185 They could never get 3 of the Angels to agree. Its not like people wanted to see Tiffany Welles or Julie Rogers again...

Even Steve and Jamie got back together for those horrid reunion movies.

[Quote] They could never get 3 of the Angels to agree.

Kate hated Cheryl that much? Farrah had that much going on in the '90s?

[Quote] Its not like people wanted to see Tiffany Welles or Julie Rogers again...

And yet Shelley hosted one of those marathon/retrospectives.

R189 I watched that and was kinda shocked. I give Shelley credit, this was after they treated her so poorly. The literally fired her and then made her continue filming the last couple of episodes of the 4th season. She found out she was let go from the press.

Well, Nolan Miller said that Shelley became a pain in the ass almost instantly when she joined the show. I expect there was a lot of noise that she should have tuned out but she didn't.

Jackson and Jackson

In "Barefoot in the Park" with Andrew Stevens at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theater.

Great find! I've never seen that photo. ^^^^

Somebody put her 1981 Made-For-TV movie, 'Thin Ice', onto YouTube this week-

Thin Ice is a 1981 CBS network television movie which aired on February 17, 1981. Set in a community in South Carolina, a widowed high school teacher starts a relationship with one of her male students.

With David Copperfield in '77. Two heads of great hair.

Happy Friday.

Telethon with the cast of Three's Company and Cher. 1978.

shit actress with a shit attitude.

Wish there was video of this R197

Kate and Farrah look gorgeous in their dresses in R180 And there was true sisterhood and chemistry. Great photograph.

Friday, October 29th is Kate’s bday! Practically a DL holiday!

Should we each send her a dollar? Start the GoFundMe! We have to get her out of that van.

Kate was born three years and three days after fellow Scorpio Jaclyn Smith. Happy 73rd!

Great photo of these gorgeous birthday girls! BFFs Kate and Jackie.

Kate always looks so much older than Jaclyn. She’s younger??

Happy Birthday, lovely Kate Jackson! We love you <3

Well, not all of us.

But I’d read her book. The chapter on Kramer vs. Kramer would be a hoot!

“Imagine yourself in a Mercury….”

Happy birthday Ms Jackson!

I hope she had a nice day.

She might. But you can’t tell if it’s day or night when you live in a van by the river, with layers of old, hoarded newspaper taped over the windows.

I love that her birthday is on a Friday this year. All the more reason to gather together.

I do hope Kate finds it in herself to communicate with the world again. If not, the narrative after her death will be completely out of her control, spun by tabloids for maximum tragedy.

She's had a long and interesting life; it would be a shame to see it pared down to "sad last days" in her death. Many public figures have come back after far worse. Certainly she could, too. Americans love a comeback story.

Or perhaps her kid will write a Mother Dearest one day. I'd pay to read it.

It is ridiculous that she doesn't have a star on the Walk of Fame.

Jaclyn should pay the fee as a gift, send a stylist to get Kate red carpet ready, and accompany her to the ceremony.

Years ago some fans had a campaign going, but it was pre-social media and not easy to spread the word.

Anyhow, I'm going to relax with my G&T while watching a classic Charlie's Angels episode- The Mexican Connection. Or maybe Dirty Business. Hmmm...

Cheers to Kate, with wishes of many happy returns of the day!

Why doesn’t Kate make money endorsing some dikey brand, like Pendleton?

R211 Agree with you! But whether Kate ever appears in public again or not. The tabloids are the tabloids. They're only in it for the money, not the truth. And as long as their idiot readers will believe any gossip that's what they do.

I don't think her kid wants to be in the public ever. After seeing what the tabloids did to his mother. No, that kid wants to live his life in peace. He's 26 now.

Yes, we do R206. No other Angel is nearly as popular on DL as Kate Jackson.

R215 and for good reason!

A special voice recording from Kate, thanking fans for their birthday messages.

It's nice to hear her voice and know she's feeling the love.

My favorite CA episode was the "Dancing in the Dark," where Sabrina went undercover as a nerdy heiress looking for dancing lessons.

R217 that is from years ago🙄

[quote]James R. wrote: "I went to high school with Kate Jackson at Mt. Brook. She never changed. She always remained grounded and was always kind."

I thought she graduated from Brooke Hill School (now Altamont School). Mountain Brook High School didn't open until the late '60s.

how old is she now?

I wonder if she could still have that one great huge acclaimed role if the right part came along.

^ She just turned 73 (10/29/1948).

R219 Charlie'sAngels.com shared it on FB and said it was from this year. I'll double check, though.

There was a recording years ago that she sent to a convention. That's the only other relatively recent recording.

R219 R223 Kate’s message is from today! Mike posted it this morning on youtube. The audio clip you are referring to is from 2013.

[quote]R224 Kate’s message is from today!

Why won’t the demon show IT’S FACE ? ?

R225 After years of Crack and living in van squalor, you really have to ask?

Thanks for posting R217! Great to hear Kate’s voice! That was nice.

I am being haunted!

R227 It sure was!

Kate with Susan Fucking Dey.

She played a lesbian called Sabrina Duncan on Charlie’s Angels.

R231 Kate was the most caring nurse and Angel. The best!

[quote]R231 Kate with Susan Fucking Dey.

I hope Kate isn’t waiting for an APOLOGY.

Kate was one of the finest and most highly decorated thespians of her generation.

Welcome to a new fan.

Kate was a philanthropist, and she loved children.

—heroin or pornography, what to choose, what to choose

What did you choose R212?

I went with heroin, and throughly enjoyed it. Edward Power was a handsome devil.

Now I'm thinking another Friday night, might as well get into the pornography, a little "Dirty Business," if you will.

Not quite in the mood for prostitution tonight, Angels.

Kate collects vintage designer scarves (only silk!) and enjoys arranging flowers for intimate dinner parties.

Kate wiped back to front.

Good choice! R239 "The Mexican Connection" is one of those great early season 1 episodes. The girls' chemistry is amazing and fun to watch as always throughout s1. Edward Powers is a hottie. And there's a surprising twist in the climax at the LA marina when beautiful and smart Sabrina Duncan uncovers the truth. Now "Dirty Business" is another good episode. Not quite as good but a lot of fun. "Little Bo Peep"? "She meets a shepherd". Tacky, Marvin, this is very tacky stuff! Hilarious episode.

From the same photoshoot.

R193. I don't think that's Andrew Stevens. I think it's Parker Stevenson.

R243 R244 Sexy Kate Jackson!

Here Kate is in a bathing suit in the 1972 movie "Limbo" aka Women in Limbo. Deals with the problems facing a group of women married to men who are missing in Vietnam action.

I love that celebrity bowling was a show.

I wish I could see the episodes of The Mike Douglas Show where Kate was a guest host.

Someone is selling their Kate clippings.

Any hair?

Jebus. This bitch again.

[quote] Someone is selling their Kate clippings.

Is it Kate? I would have loaned her the $15.

All I know is I met Kate and a signing and she kicked me in the cunt bone.

R250 Definitely LOTSofCLIPPINGS. Pretty cool.

KJ's Friday thread is so popular, one day won't do. And this is thread No. 2! Kate Jackson is amazing. Can the other Angels have their own threads, too? I would think so. Not sure if they would work, though. But it would be nice for their fans. Our OP is great and there are a lot of fans who contribute to this wonderful thread.

I’ll buy her underwear.

ITS NOT FRIDAY. STOP BUMPING INAPPROPRIATELY.

LIMBO starring Kate Jackson. Rare movie trailer.

Why doesn't Kate do Cameo?

I would like to see the full Limbo movie. It's an interesting premise for a movie-young brides with their lives on pause, waiting to hear news of their MIA husbands.

I wonder what gossip Joan Collins is sharing with Kate. It looks juicy.

R260 You can purchase LIMBO here: TrueTvmovies

A young Kate showed her amazing acting skills, as she always did, in this interesting movie.

This is another clip.

Action Jackson

I love it, R263!

I hope Kate fans everywhere are enjoying a fabulous Friday night.

I mix her up with Margot Kidder

R264 Thank you, OP! Had a fabulous Friday night! I watched Kate in "Limbo" and was impressed. Great movie. Kind of sad, too. And Kate is outstanding.

And I love R263 Action Jackson, too. Gotta love her.

Have a great weekend everyone!

She marries gay men and has a powerful career to keep her busy at night while he is in WeHo cursing for sex.

When Farrah Fawcett- Majors left, "Charlies Angels" could have just been cancelled. Cheryl Ladd comes in , the ratings go up, and Kate is a cunt? I don't understand. Farrah left the show and Cheryl saves it from flopping -And Kate Jackson is mad at her? Talk about misplaced anger. Why didn't Kate get upset with Farrah?

Kate and Jackie were both upset with Farrah initially and her return appearances were awkward.

Kate disliked Cheryl because she was cheerfully tits and teeth, which was the exact opposite direction Kate wanted the show to go.

Happy New Years, Kate Jackson, wherever you are.

Was Kate a pass-around bottom party girl?

She always seemed like a dominant lesbian to me, R273

R273 Love the photo. Kate is so gorgeous! Wonder who those men are.

I have a feeling she must look awful - Kate seemed to be an attention whore and loved the spotlight

Mystery solved! This photo R273 is from „Lady's Home Journal“, June 1974: "….Holly Harp is a designer with her own ready-to-wear label. Known for her subtle use of color and flowing lines, Holly’s designs remain imaginative. 'There has to be fantasy, inventiveness and glamour' she says. Among her fans are stars like Raquel Welch and Joni Mitchell, along with newcomers like beautiful Kate Jackson. Katie, who has appeared regularly on the ABC series "The Rookies“, wears Holly Harp’s multicolored two-piece dress, a long flowing skirt"…

Kate is like Britney and needs a conservatorship.

Kate Jackson seemed to drop out of the limelight right after the death of Farrah Fawcett. Do you think she has a thing for Farrah? Do you think Farrah's death may have cause Kate to fall on hard times?

R279. Actually, you're right - Kate did that interview about the Farrah documentary and just kinda went into hiding.

She was the second most boring of Charlie's Angels, only falling behind Shelley Hack (whose name says it all).

R281 None of the Angels were boring. They all had their own personality. I don't think anyone can be a true fan of Charlie's Angels without liking them all.

R282 I never said I did not like them all, but i certainly can be honest about them and still be a fan.

If you cannot recognize that Cheryl Ladd, Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett were extremely more popular than the others then you are not a fan of Charlie's Angels.

Kate Jackson in An Evening with Danny Thomas & His Friends Telethon (for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital)

The best thing I can say about Kate Jackson is that she has always been a huge liberal. I never knew that until recently. Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts were also liberals. So I give all three props for that.

Sabrina was the most fun

R273 I wouldn't blame her. Every man in that picture is fine! I'm not a bottom, but they could pass me around and do whatever they wanted to me.

Kate is on Match Game '75 on Buzzr TV right now.

I think Kate is really loved by her fans and fans of "Charlies Angels". She wanted to act, embraced the fame, and now it's just strange to me that she is in hiding.

[Quote]She wanted to act, embraced the fame, and now it's just strange to me that she is in hiding.

R290 Kate Jackson is not hiding. The bitch is old! She is 73! None of the Angels are all that active anymore. Kate performed many years and then became an advocate for cancer early detection after her bout with cancer which included a mastectomy. Can the lady have a minute to chill?

R291 I'm still active.

Though CA is what Kate is most known for, I think a Scarecrow and Mrs. King reunion show is long overdue.

R292 Yeah, you're an active Trumper, Ms. Stoppelmoor aka Ladd.

R294 She played at a golf tournament back in 2007 with a bunch of other celebrities for Michael Douglas & Friends Celebrity Golf Tournament at Donald Trump's golf club and met him there. You've got to remember that a lot of celebrities were associated or friends with Donald Trump before 2016, including Kathy Griffin and the Clintons. We don't know if Cheryl fully supports him. Also, her daughter, Jordan, is a total liberal.

The other thread mentions Kate Jackson now residing at the Motion Picture & Television Fund in Woodland Hills.

R296 Seriously? Oh, that's not good.

R296 R297 we don’t know if it’s true. When asked how he knows that guy has not responded so far. Remember this is the DL. People can post anything.

Maybe Kate is finially working on her autobiography "The Smart One." Maybe that's why we haven't heard from her.

She's fine! She sends her love!

Has this been shared?

Raw footage of an interview Kate did to promote Making Love.

R301 Yes it was shared right after Kate posted it on October 29 which is her birthday. Thanks for posting because I was going to post it when someone said we never hear from Kate when we literally heard from her less than three months ago! She surprised everyone. It was wonderful to hear from her and to hear her voice!

Kate looked so young and fresh in the beginning of the first season.

Then they tried to "fix" her to be like the other angels, and it aged her 20 years.

I've told this before here, but in 1982 Kate Jackson came into the small business in NYC where I worked to open a phone answering account. With her was Marcia Strassman. Both of them were very big tv stars at the time and we were very excited to see big stars in our little office.

Both were very friendly, relaxed and super cool while we chatted about prices and such. What we all noticed that shocked us was by how openly butch and gay they seemed, like flannel shirt/softball team lesbians. They were acting like a couple and were so openly dykish, we were amazed. It was a low-paying office job and most of us were very young and we rarely saw our clients in person, especially the more well-known clients.

Since then I assumed both women were gay.

Thanks for sharing. There were rumors that Kate was gay. In the late 70s, early 80s. Interestingly before and after that, nothing. In any case I do not care if she is gay or straight. She's my favorite actress no matter what. And I sure do envy you! Man, you've met her and she was very friendly. How cool is that. So you met Kate in 1982 which must have been around the time she did this lovely interview R302!

Kate Jackson at 12:54

It's Friday! The work day will soon be over.

I have no plans, so maybe I'll make it a Charlie's Angels and cocktail kind of night.

Why isn't Kate on Cameo? She could make some extra bucks! I know I'd pay to have her send a message to me :)

agree R312 I'd ask her to read some Shakespearean speeches just to hear her double and triple emphasize the operative words, iambic pentameter be damned.

I know CA has elements of a procedural and they have to dispense a certain amount of information, but damn, girl always had a heavy hand with the dialogue.

R313 Agree! I love Kate's voice, her line delivery. She's by far the most interesting, the warmest and most charismatic Angel. I could watch this scene over and over.

r314 - "I could watch this scene over and over." Cheryl Ladd, I think THAT'S the reason you could watch this scene over and over.

One of my favorite pics of the original Angels team. One of many fav shots. These three were dynamite!

^^^ A great shot and Kate looked simply DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS.

Death at Love House - 1976

If she played Joanna Kramer, it would have been a telefilm.

The glamour we were denied.

R318 She had it! So beautiful!

Face it most people HATED working with mood swinging Kate Jackson. Poor Bruce Boxleitner is still traumatised!!

Someone has been very busy 😂

Friday! Time for Kate Jackson :) Here she is at La Scala restaurant in Beverly Hills, 1981.

R320 I've seen that picture countless times, but never noticed until now that Dustin is wearing Kate's necklace. It's one she wore quite a bit on CA, along with a necklace that had small stars.

She could definitely make money on Cameo, and probably do just voice recordings if she doesn't want to be on camera.

I hope she is well, and if she is not well, that she gets whatever help she needs soon. There's plenty of living left.

I didn't realize John Ritter guest starred on The Rookies.

He was so young here. Little did they know they both had huge series awaiting them just around the corner.

"Very serious" romance with Nick Nolte (1977)

Beautiful, badass, charming, fun. The one and only, Miss Sabrina Duncan.

More Kate and Nick.

"In 1980 I had a small speaking role in the movie "Thin Ice" starring Kate Jackson. In the movie she played a teacher that fell in love with a HS student. I was the students best friend. This was filmed in Charleston, SC. Kate was beautiful and very nice to us all and I got to party with her 2 times."

R332 Where did you find this quote? I want to know what it was like to party with Kate Jackson.

He commented on an article about Kate. Unfortunately I don't remember which one it was.

It's not Friday BITCH

^^^^

And another car commercial - with a great comment: "Wow, that brings back memories. I wrote and produced that series when I was Creative Director at Young and Rubicam Advertising, Detroit. Good times. Great memories. She was fun to work with."

Kate's dog Bailey is in the commercial, too, at 9:48.

I think they put a Cher doll in this box by mistake.

There was nothing rare about that card, R15. To this day, I remeber the card it took me forever to get- #7. I believe it had Jill on with a car, but not the Cobra II.

Making Love was released forty years ago. Inevitably, comments on the movie include gay men saying how it helped them in various ways.

I remember an interview where Kate said something along the lines of the movie deliberately showing Zach as being a regular person, not reducing him to a degenerate or caricature the way many other movies did with gay characters. He was a respected doctor who happened to be homosexual.

It was an important movie for me, even though I saw it 15 years after it's release. I lived in a small town, where gay was equated with hell and "God Given AIDS."

I still remember my heart racing when I rented it, tucked between a few other movies. I kept talking to the clerk and pointing out various posters in the store to distract my mother. If the movie was noticed, my plan was to say "Oh, I saw Kate Jackson on the cover and grabbed it without thinking."

I was already fan of Kate, so seeing her in Making Love felt like approval from someone I cared about, as Mary! as that may sound.

She’s someone I can’t imagine having sex. A neuter.

What do we think our Kate is doing this Friday night?

Clipping coupons with the help of a dying flashlight, but losing them in her ratty, overstuffed van down by the river.

Rolling a joint, and reading a book.

I think she had soup for dinner and didn't wash the bowl.

I think she's at the Lakers game.

It's Good Friday, so...

Old Katie is really cranked UP in that clip @ R344. Just grinding those teeth and talking away. Even Donny and Marie can tell she's higher than a kite!

Jamie Lee Curtis

September 26, 2019

Yep. It’s that throwback day of the week. I had never hit a golf club before yet pretended to be Nancy Lopez. Cheryl wrestled an alligator and I just wanted to be Kate Jackson.

Here's a full episode of Baby Boom for you to enjoy.

auto-asphyxiation by highly aggressive turtleneck sweater

Baby Boom failed because it was missing Bruce Boxleitner.

Could Kate resurrect her dormant career with a Playboy layout? Or is it too late.

Considering she had a mastectomy, it could cause quite the sensation!

It would be stunning, and brave.

Jaclyn and Cheryl are vibrant and living life to its fullest in 2022. Poor Kate... Down by the river living in a Van!

Maybe there’s a sequel to Kramer vs. Kramer she can lobby for? Maybe on Lifetime?

She’s gotta get OUT of that f-ing van. Enough’s enough, little Miss American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

She has agreed to play's Fern's younger sister in "Nomadland II: No Electricity Boogaloo."

Home at last! It‘s been a long day. Hot shower, cold beer and ready for Katie my lady. R352 Jamie‘s Facebook post is sweet. Poor Jamie Lee Curtis had to do the silly alligator scene with Cheryl Ladd instead of having more scenes with her favorite Angel Kate Jackson.

Jamie ⚔️ Kate

r359 I actually thought Kate was the most talented so Im really surprised and shocked that Cheryl & Jaclyn are still acting. Both are in the public eye. I don't understand how Kate hasn't been seen in years. I thought she'd be the Angel that would be acting, doing press, connecting with her fans. It's very sad. She seemed to love the fame and attention.

The freaking idiot > R357 < has done it again. He is making fun of people who have suffered from cancer. Shameful!

Why shouldn’t people with non traditional bodies appear nude? It’s R365’s views that are shameful.

ITS NOT FRIDAY, STOP TALKINNG ABOUT THIS BITCH

Sunday is the day reserved to discuss all things Tanya!

You're free to create a Tanya thread. Or use one of the four or five unpopular Shelley threads. Or the Cheryl thread. They could use some energy.

I have a friend who had to have her arms and legs amputated due to blood poisoning. She is 30 years old. A few years ago she decided to have her picture taken, in a tank top and shorts on a massage table, for an awareness campaign. A wonderful and brave young woman. That's a whole different story than what R356 „suggests“ in his shameful Playboy post clearly attempting to ridicule KJ because of her age and knowing full well that she had breast cancer and needed a partial mastectomy, followed by reconstructive surgery. His post is sneaky and hypocritical just like R366‘s!

[quote]R370 …what [R356] “suggests“ in his shameful Playboy post clearly attempting to ridicule KJ because of her age and [bold]knowing full well [/bold]that she had breast cancer and needed a partial mastectomy, followed by reconstructive surgery.

Believe it or not, not everyone knows the status of your favorite idol’s breasts.

Then, Monday is for Charlie Girls

R370 What a sad and shocking story about your friend. Such a tragic fate. Takes a lot of courage and good friends and she seems to have them!

It reminds me of this: "In 1983 my brother was paralyzed in a car accident and was placed in a rehabilitation hospital. Every Christmas the hospital would get a visit from a bunch of television and movie stars. Kate Jackson was there and made my brother’s day. I’ll never forget her kindness."

[quote]R372 Then, Monday is for Charlie Girls

Done.
