Nostalgia series: 43 years later, what has become of Charlie and Bosley’s Merry Ladies?

Jacqueline Smith (Kelly)

After several appearances on American television, Jacqueline Smith joins the first season funny ladies as Kelly Garrett, which he also reprises in the two films adapted from the series, for brief appearances. The only “angel” who remained for all five seasons, he is still an actor, especially on television, but he was absorbed by another passion.

In 1985, he created a women’s clothing collection for the Kmart brand and quickly became a successful businessman with brands of furniture, bedding and bathroom accessories. Since 2008, she has launched a brand of women’s wigs: Styled by Jaclyn Smith.

Kate Jackson (Sabrina)

When she came to Funny Ladies, Kate Jackson had already starred in Limbo and had extensive experience at ABC. He has already appeared in 71 episodes of Dark Shadows and 92 episodes of The Rookies. After three seasons on Charlie — which cost him the lead role in Kramer vs. Kramer, which he left for Meryl Streep — he quit. He immediately found the series The Two Make a Pair with Bruce Boxleitner.

In the 90s, he made many TV movies and suffered two serious health problems, but he continued his career, mainly as a guest in series or films. He has not appeared on screen since 2007, after appearing in an episode of Criminal Minds.

Farrah Fawcett (Jill)

The last “Angel” of the first season, Farrah Fawcett, leaves the series after the first 23 episodes. Due to a contractual obligation related to his early departure, he will return as a guest in Seasons 3 and 4. He then appears sporadically in film, notably in L’Equipée du Cannonball, but increasingly finds his footing in television, particularly with the TV movies Barbara. Hutton, The Fortune of a Billionaire or Margaret Burke-White.

In 2006, he was diagnosed with cancer and despite treatment and surgeries, he died after a three-year battle with the disease on June 25, 2009, at the age of 62.

Cheryl Ladd (Chris)

Cheryl Ladd joined the series for the second season, replacing Farrah Fawcett’s departure. She plays Chris Munro, the younger sister of Fawcett’s character, Jill. He stayed on until the fifth and final season of the series and used his notoriety to launch the career he had always wanted to pursue: singer. At the same time, he made several television films, including Grace Kelly (1983). He recently appeared in the first season of American Crime Story and 29 episodes of Las Vegas.

Shelly Heck (Tiffany)

Shelley Hack arrives at the beginning of Season 4 to replace Kate Jackson. After just one season, with audiences dwindling as each episode progressed, the channel parted ways with the actor, who joined the cast of Martin Scorsese’s La Valse des pantins, and then Jack and Mike. He graduated from business administration and gradually moved away from the screens. In 1997, he became involved in Eastern European television diversity issues.

Tanya Roberts (Julie)

Actress Tanya Roberts has been chosen from 2,000 candidates as the new “Angel” to replace Shelly Heck. Audiences did not improve, and Funny Ladies was still canceled at the end of its fifth season. He continued his career in cinema Dar the Invincible, Sheena, the Queen of the Jungle or Dangerously Yours, but since 1986, filming has become more rare.

In 1998, she was a regular on That ’70s Show, which she left after 3 seasons to care for her ailing husband. After his death, he ended his career. On January 6, 2021, he died at the age of 71 from a urinary infection that turned into sepsis (sepsis).
