Charlie’s Angels changed television forever when it premiered in 1976, redefining what female heroes could look like. Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Jaclyn Smith weren’t just solving crimes—they were pioneering a new era of empowerment, showing that women could be smart, stylish, and fearless at the same time. Beyond the action, the fashion and charisma of the Angels shaped pop culture for decades. Behind the scenes, the show’s creation had its own twists. John Forsythe became the voice of the mysterious Charlie only after the original actor, Gig Young, was dropped for a drinking problem.
