As a film actress, she is best remembered for the 1973 film Thunder and Lightning with David Carradine, Loverboy, notable for being Patrick Dempsey’s first film, and Making Love.

Sadly, it only lasted one season.Īll during her television series years and beyond, Jackson starred in several made-for-TV movies, many of which did well. However, I was a fan of Baby Boom, a spin-off from the Diane Keaton film. I was busy in college during those years and never saw more than an episode or two. Kate did her best to bring some flavor to her role and, in fact, was nominated twice for an Emmy during her three seasons with the show.Īfter that, she went on to a successful run in another series, The Scarecrow and Mrs. Farrah shows her teeth and Jaclyn’s voice never rises above a whisper. The plots (pretty much the same in every episode) are absurd and the writing is terrible.

I saw it recently on one of those free TV channels. To me, Charlie’s Angels does not hold up well.

Jaclyn, considered a great beauty but not a great actress, later made a fortune as an entrepreneur and businesswoman, mainly through her clothing line. When the show became a hit, it was expected to catapult her career, but today, Farrah Fawcett is remembered for some dramatic triumphs in television films in the ’80s, most prominently The Burning Bed, and for her well-documented decline and death to cancer in 2009 (she died the same day as Michael Jackson). Jackson was considered the star, the only known actress among the three. I was sorry that was canceled, but she bounced back big-time with Charlie’s Angels, one of the biggest television hits of all time. Soon after, she starred in The Rookies, a police drama in the mid-70s. I don’t remember much about that film, but I did remember Kate Jackson who, even then, had an unusual beauty, along with brains. The dawning of awareness of television coincided with the rise of a young actress named Kate Jackson, who played Daphne in Dark Shadows - and later in one of the spin-off films, which my brother and I begged my parents to bring us to the local Drive-In theater to see. My mother objected, but her objections were overridden by the fact that her sister-in-law introduced me to the show. I had an aunt who loved the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, and after watching it a few times with her, I got hooked on it myself and ran home from school to watch it at 3:00. He is denying any wrongdoing, and was quoted as saying, "this case will never go to court.Growing up when I did, I became aware of television as a child in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

Her claims are contained in her lawsuit, she also says she's on the verge of bankruptcy and has "suffered financial ruin at the hands of the very person she entrusted with her finances."įrancis was also the late Farrah Fawcett's financial manager. Now Kate is suing her financial advisor, Richard B. The house is just 1,800 square feet with 2 bedrooms in a not-so-great part of Santa Monica. Now she says the home has lost much of it's value in the real estate crash, which has hit southern California particularly hard. Kate says he knew she was overpaying for the property and that she couldn't afford it. Kate Jackson says her money problems began when her financial advisor suggested she buy a home in Santa Monica for more than $2 million. Now we know, she's been desperately concerned about money. Kate was a no-show at last month's TV Land awards honoring her late pal Farrah Fawcett. The 61-year-old Charlie's Angels' star has lived a reclusive existence since making that now famous reunion with her fellow Charlies Angels stars at the 2006 Emmy's. Kate Jackson claims she's in "financial ruin."
