Good morning, angels!
On Monday, April 6,Kate Jackson,Jaclyn SmithandCheryl Laddwill reunite at PaleyFest in Los Angeles for the 50th anniversary celebration of the legendary TV seriesCharlie's Angels.
From the moment it premiered in 1976,Charlie's Angelsbecame a landmark moment in television and a cultural phenomenon. Ladd, 74, joined Jackson, 77, and Smith, 80, as a lead on the show during its second season in 1977 to replaceFarrah Fawcettand remained on it until its cancellation in 1981.
"Charlie's Angelssurprised everyone when Farrah, Jackie and I hit the ground running (thanks, in part, to Farrah's iconic poster) and the pilot went through the glass ceiling," Jackson, Smith and Ladd tell PEOPLE in a joint statement. "Overnight, we were hailed with something akin to 'rock star fame.' When Cheryl joined us in the second season, she added a special element uniquely hers and the crazy went on."
While the three women say the show was "lighthearted," it "also quietly delivered the important message that women are just as capable as men" amid the "Women's Movement in the 1970s."
"We are proud that we were able to entertain the television viewing audience for an hour each week, let them put their feet up, forget their troubles and, at the same time, inspire and empower young women all over the world," they say. "We look forward to reuniting on the PaleyFest stage to celebrateCharlie's Angelsmilestone anniversary and to reflect on our work in television across the decades."
