Charlie's Angels stars honor Farrah Fawcett at 2026 Emmys reunion

Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd reunited at the 2026 Emmys to mark the 50th anniversary of "Charlie's Angels," honoring their late co-star Farrah Fawcett, who died in 2009. Smith called Fawcett a friend present in "everyone's collective memory," while Jackson dubbed her "the shiniest angel of all" and Ladd referenced her iconic red swimsuit poster. The original series ran from 1976 to 1981. Smith's recent memoir details behind-the-scenes tensions, including Jackson's resentment over the show's title and speakerphone concept, plus frustration that the actresses saw no merchandising profits.
