Jaclyn Smith Reveals the One Cosmetic Procedure She Fully Supports (Exclusive)

**Jaclyn Smith Reflects on Life After ‘Charlie’s Angels’ at 80**

In a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine, actress Jaclyn Smith, famed for her role in the iconic series ‘Charlie’s Angels’, shares insights into her life at the age of 80. Sitting in her Beverly Hills home, Smith reveals the secrets behind her youthful appearance, attributing it to a lifestyle focused on clean living, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and a good dose of vitamins.

While she maintains these healthy habits, she does admit to utilising subtle cosmetic enhancements. “I’ve never shied away from putting a bit of fat in my face, as it can be quite beneficial since we naturally lose volume as we age,” she mentioned. However, Smith is cautious about going too far with cosmetic procedures, stating, “Everyone ages, everyone changes. I believe in maintaining one’s natural look, rather than undergoing excessive alterations.”

The actress is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Kelly Garrett when ‘Charlie’s Angels’ debuted in 1976 alongside renown actresses Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson. In her conversation with PEOPLE, Smith recalls the whirlwind of fame that enveloped them almost instantaneously. “It was truly life-changing,” she reflected. “Overnight, we were thrust into the limelight, and the feeling of shopping in a grocery store without being recognised was a thing of the past.”

Reflecting on the initial success of the show, which surpassed all expectations, Smith shares, “None of us anticipated becoming a part of the top ten. We were simply three women hoping to capture an audience, and thankfully, we accomplished that.” The series itself changed the landscape of television with its unique premise, something Smith credits as a significant factor in its popularity.

Smith believes that the appeal of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ lay not just in its concept of three women as private detectives but also in the vibrant fashion, lively writing, and of course, Fawcett’s iconic hair—she jokingly referred to it as the “fourth Angel.” Smith cherishes the bond she shared with Fawcett and Jackson, especially since she remained the only original Angel throughout the show’s entire five-season run. “Our friendship was genuine, and beyond the applause, it remained strong,” she said.

With a sense of gratitude, Smith also reminisces about the challenges they faced behind the scenes. “We had to voice our ideas and negotiate in a male-dominated environment that often dismissed us as mere entertainers,” she explained. “But we were determined to prove that we were anything but fluff. Our hard work and dedication truly elevated the show.”

The enduring legacy of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ remains unmistakable, as shown at the recent 50th anniversary celebration held at PaleyFest in Los Angeles. Fans turned out in large numbers to see Smith reunite with Jackson and Cheryl Ladd, who joined the cast in later seasons. “It amazes me that people continue to reach out and request signed memorabilia from the show,” noted Smith. “I never imagined that the afterlife of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ would be met with such warm regard.”

For those interested in hearing more about her experiences, Smith’s new memoir, titled *I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie*, offers fans a deeper look into her life, beyond the glitz of television. The book is available in stores and aims to share untold stories from her time on and off set.

Jaclyn Smith’s commitment to authenticity—both in her personal life and her professional journey—reflects her beliefs about beauty and ageing. She continues to inspire many, reminding them that although one cannot remain a ‘Charlie’s Angel’ indefinitely, the essence of friendship and the impact of one’s work can last a lifetime. For further insights from Smith, her feature in PEOPLE is set to be released this Friday.
