Three original stars of the classic series Charlie’s Angels — Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd — reunited onstage at the 2026 Emmy Awards to pay tribute to their late co-star Farrah Fawcett.
A Rare Reunion
The appearance marked a nostalgic highlight of the ceremony. The trio honored Fawcett, who they called the “shiniest Angel of all,” on the 50th anniversary of the iconic show. Their brief but emotional moment drew warm applause from the audience and quickly became one of the night’s most shared clips.
Legacy of the Original Angels
Charlie’s Angels helped define 1970s television and launched the careers of its lead actresses. Fawcett’s iconic red swimsuit poster and her role as Jill Munroe remain cultural touchstones decades later. Smith, Jackson and Ladd have continued to work in television and film while remaining closely associated with the franchise.
Why It Resonated
In an awards show filled with contemporary stars and streaming hits, the reunion offered a bridge to television history. Fans of the original series expressed appreciation online for the respectful tribute and the chance to see the surviving Angels together again.
The moment underscored how classic television continues to hold a special place at major industry events.
