I'm surprised they didn't talk about some of the actresses considered for the original and replacement roles i.e. Shari Belafonte, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathie Lee all were considered for Tiffany Welles, with Belafonte nearly being cast in the part before Shelley Hack landed it. Interesting side note: if Aaron Spelling didn't feel bad for her being passed over, Shari wouldn't have been cast on Arthur Hailey's "Hotel."
Cheryl Ladd is so down to earth! She seems really nice and I'm glad her beauty and success didn't go to her head. In comparison, Jaclyn Smith seems arrogant when she speaks and certainly not as approachable as Cheryl. I'd like to meet Cheryl someday.
I think the text they wrote about Farrah was unfair. She just wanted to move on, and still remained great friends with Kate and Jaclyn. Also they acted as though she'd done virtually nothing else since Charlie's Angels - which isn't true. She was nominated for 4 emmy's, and 6 golden globes. No one can make light of that fact. She really was an incredible actress, and although I loved her on CA, and I loved the other girls, and the show generally, it wasn't till she left that we really saw that.
Greatbyedesign, Cheryl doesn't have to be a Farrah. Jaclyn is not a Farrah. Kate is not a Farrah. However, each Angel is great. They don't have to be Farrah to be great. In fact, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd are my two favorite Angels.
Around 1999-2000 there were several documentaries about CA. This was one of them. i believe the other 2 were from "E" and TVLand or Biography. Does anyone know exactly? It's amazing it's 10 years since these retrospectives and the public still can't get enough. It's one of the most beloved shows in history and the actresses are so gracious to be willing to talk about it so often.
@chrisgreulich You're right. It seems like they were all nice but Jaclyn, Cheryl and Tanya were especially nice. Farrah, Kate and Shelley could be complainers.
Cheryl Ladd was a huge pro & did a great job. I think by Season 4 (with Shelley Hack) some of the strain is starting to show a bit & she's very thin. Not knocking her--they all worked hard under serious pressure in a 3-network universe. Shelley Hack wasn't bad--she was a more cosmopolitan, brainy East Coast type. Tanya Roberts was scrappy & rougher BUT she was gorgeous and ahead of her time for the show. Tanya was like Rose McGowan in 'Charmed' - rougher but still a total professional.
Agreed there. She was a very huge part of the show and made the Character Kris Munroe work so well in the four years she was there. I think the big thing is her and Kate did not get along too well, and that i think did not go over well in time.
Charlies Angles was my fav show when i was growing up ........ I even had the Farrah Hair cut....... such a shame she past away.....I always wanted her smile.... such a sad day....... she was so pretty.... but her star is shining brightly....... the Icon we all fell in love with in the 70s
Actually if you look at season four it was Shelly Hack that got screwed the most ( not in the sexual sense). She was pegged for being the one that made the show "jump the shark". but take a good look at some of the good episodes she was in like nips and tucks, one love two angels, and so many more. She was really pretty good for what that poor thing was given in that time. Aside from some of the lame writing, it was Tanya Roberts that did the final blow to the show. She is so actress.
I always liked Shelly Hack, and I agree with what you said. I just mean that Cheryl was on the show longer than Farrah, but it seems the original 3 are the ones always mentioned in anything regarding Charlie's Angels leaving out Cheryl, even she feels that way as I have seen in other interviews with her. Tanya Roberts sucked, and her season will be the one Season of CA I will not be buying.
Oh i may get season 5 anyway just to see Cheryl Ladd beat the crap out of Tanya Roberts. Seriously there are a few good episodes off that season. The final one where Kelly Garret gets shot again. How sad.Her character always seemed to get all the bad stuff happen to her
I'm with you. I've left a various comments on Charlie's Angel's & said the same thing. She should have been given more chance and opportunity to prove herself. Right from the start, it seemed they decided to treat her just as a replacement rather than an Angel of her own right and sort of pushed her aside a bit. I absolutely loved Tiffany and the 4th season is my most favourite without a doubt. Watch Angenls Go Trucking as the chemistry between Cheryl and Shelly is great.
It seems like the Donahue clips I've seen are not very flattering to Farrah at all ... the snippet about her saying "there shouldn't be a Farrah Fawcett wig" did not come off well at all. I love her but sometimes I feel like the people who make these docs try to cast her in a bad light.
I only loved Farrah, Kate, Jacklyn, and Cheryl. The original angels and then Cheryl were great. After that, the succession of new angels coming in took something from the show for me. The magic was lost. But the first three were terrific, and then I did like Cheryl, too.
I can see why'd you say that. I liked all six though. Cheryl was my favorite but I think each was special in her own way, even Shelley and Tanya. Though people are hard on her, I think Shelley had a very nice style about her and could have been good if given a chance. They say the stage work she did after Angels was quite good. But you're right, the first four were pretty much the standard.
It's safe to say Farrah Fawcett is second ONLY to Marilyn Monroe as the greatest sex symbol of the 20th century. So sad she's so gravely ill. I pray for her.
Farrah..often imitated & emulated but NEVER DUPLICATED!!! Even people who are compared to her (Pam Anderson, Jessica Simpson) Don't possess what she had in her day!! TRULY sad that she is leaving the way she is!!! So hard to believe! She will forever be a ICON!!! True the girls today don't compare!!
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnight im sorry i relly hate these things :'(
Cheryl Ladd, Jacklyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Tonya Roberts were gorgeous, still are for their age. The young women stars since then don't compare.
I do agree she is the most beautiful girl ever , ever OHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD, I remember those days I was 12 or 13. come on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
