Charlie’s Angels Trio Reunites at Emmys

Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd reunited at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 14, 2026, marking 50 years since Charlie's Angels premiered. They walked onstage to the series theme, received a standing ovation, and presented Outstanding Drama Series to The Pitt. The show aired on NBC and Peacock, hosted by Mariska Hargitay. Smith and Ladd appeared on the red carpet in evening gowns; Jackson skipped it but joined the presentation. Onstage they honored Farrah Fawcett, who left after Season 1 and died of cancer in June 2009 at 62. Smith said she is here with us in everyone's collective memory. Jackson called her the shiniest angel of all, loved by millions, and said they will never forget her. Ladd added that her iconic poster lives in the minds and garages of many a man. USA Today quoted Smith that charisma does not mean a second season; TVLine rendered a related line as she does not need a second season. USA Today listed their ages as 80, 77 and 75. Smith and Jackson also appeared that day on Drew Barrymore's talk show. Barrymore, who produced the 2000 film and 2003 Full Throttle, said the 1970s series was the most important thing for females, that men loved it and women wanted to be them. Smith said Barrymore's angels took them by storm. Left-rated coverage led with anniversary looks and tributes; no right-rated coverage is in the record.
