Charlie's Angels fans thrilled as Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith reunite

Charlie's Angels fans were thrilled to see Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith together at a wedding this week, with their reunion having been described as "wonderful" by the latter.

Kate, now 74, and Jaclyn, now 77, were the original leads in the beloved TV series alongside the late Farrah Fawcett. The show launched in 1976 and it ended in 1981, though by that time Kate and Farrah had both left the ABC show.

More than four decades since it ended, Kate and Jaclyn - who played Sabrina Duncan and Kelly Garrett respectively - were spotted together recently. It was at the wedding of Jaclyn's son Gaston Richmond to Bonnie Lane Richmond.

Jaclyn posted about the wedding on Instagram this week, including sharing a compilation video that gave a glimpse at the celebration. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that one of the clips showed the actor stood beside her former co-star Kate.

The pair were spotted talking at one point as well as posing together. Jaclyn was seen wearing a sparkly blue dress for the occasion. Kate instead opted to wear a blue top underneath a cream jacket and a pair of white pants.

Fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts, with one asking Jaclyn: "Did I spot Kate like I thought?" She responded: "You sure did! It was wonderful to see her." Another fan wrote in their comment: "So wonderful to see you and Kate together". Jaclyn replied: "Yes, it was so amazing to spend time with Kate."

Others shared their excitement over the reunion, with one person writing alongside a starry-eyed emoji: "Ohmygosh, I spy Kate Jackson." Another person said: "My heart stood still for Jaclyn next to Kate." Whilst a third follower wrote about the clip: "It's so beautiful to see you two together again."

Someone else wrote alongside a heart emoji: "It's these moments in life which are precious & gosh Kate & Jaclyn together." Another fan commented: "I just got so excited when I saw Kate." Another reacted to the post: "What a treat to see Kate Jackson too."

Jaclyn and Kate were part of the original line-up on Charlie's Angels, alongside late co-star Farrah, who played Jill Munroe. Late actors David Doyle and John Forsythe portrayed John Bosley and Charles 'Charlie' Townsend throughout the series.

Kate and Farrah both departured the show during its run, though Jaclyn remained a cast member until Charlie's Angels ended. Over the course of the show, other cast members included Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and the late Tanya Roberts.

The series later spawned the films Charlie's Angels (2000) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), which starred Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu in the leading roles. A third film was released in 2019, which starred Ella Balinska, Naomi Scott and Kristen Stewart.

There was also a short-lived remake of the TV series in 2011. Annie Ilonzeh, Minka Kelly and Rachael Taylor played the lead roles in the ABC show. It however ended up being cancelled prior to the conclusion of its first series.
