TV Girls I Had a Crush On When I Was 15: Jaclyn Smith on 'Charlie's Angels'~

When monster smash hit Charlie's Angels first hit the tube in Fall of '76, I sure didn't have to think long

when anybody asked who my favorite was: Jaclyn Smith - the young actress that played "Kelly Garrett" on the show-

was to me always the 

most heavenly Angel, hands down...

This was for reasons I was largely unable to convey to those with Farrah posters in their bedrooms,

back in the days when that one with the red bathing suit was all but ubiquitious. 

But the somehow Jaclyn Smith just had a sexy vibe, bit more real/natural-look than Farrah (smile/hair), imho-

plus I guess I just prefer brunettes anyway. To each their own... I'll take this one, no problem lads:

Haven’t we done this one twice already in as many weeks?

I prefer blondes or light brown hair but I will be happy to make an exception for Jaclyn.

Now that I think about it, I much preferred Mary Ann to Ginger.

[dfwgator]

(Kristy McNichol)

I wonder what girl she had a crush on?

[saganite]

She was definitely my favorite Angel too. Easily the sexiest of the three. However, the hands down sexiest girl on TV back then was Valerie Bertinelli.

[Logic n' Reason]

ping for later....

[fight_truth_decay]

The new series, which I have never watched, has been canceled.

[Steely Tom]

No question, Jaclyn Smith is one of the most beautiful women of the baby boomer period.

The only reason — IMHO — that she didn’t break through into the top rank of female stars is that she didn’t do humor quite well enough.

I could be completely wrong about that. She may be terrific at humor, and my observation may be totally off-base. I can think of another reason why she didn’t “break through,” but I won’t say it here.

Julie Newmar

[hoagy62]

What? Did she ‘bat for the other team’? News to me...

[nothingnew]

Now that I think about it, I much preferred Mary Ann to Ginger.

Amen brother. Amen.

Had a crush on her and Connie Sellecca.

Cheryl Ladd was also very biteable. (grin)

[Haiku Guy]

Ditto on that vote for Jaclyn Smith. By far the best of the Angels.

Also, Pamela Sue Martin from Nancy Drew Mysteries. Rooowr!

[bigheadfred]

BAZINGA!!!

[Mr. Mojo]

Julie Newmar, Jaclyn Smith, and Diana Rigg. ...for starters.

[yarddog]

I think all 3 of the original “Charlies Angels” were Southern girls. Two from Texas and one from Alabama.

[Steely Tom]

Julie Newmar

Julie Newmar's figure was one of the best in the history of Hollywood; only Virginia Mayo and MM (when she was in her 20s) could compete with her in that department, and then only marginally. She's also very smart; too smart, maybe, to really be a great actress. Her father was an engineer, her mother, a Ziegfield girl.

She's about 15 years older than Jaclyn, maybe 20.

I was quite a bit younger than 15, but

[NavyCanDo]

My first TV sweethearts were:

Tuesday Weld - The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis

Marta Kristin - Lost in Space

But 15 years old (1973) it had to be:

Susan Dey - The Partidge Family

Hoagy-

4th in a series sir... and the finale’

[Lib-Lickers 2]

yes this was done a few weeks ago and I was the first one to say Jaclyn Smith

[NavyCanDo]

“Now that I think about it, I much preferred Mary Ann to Ginger.”

I’m a rarity - I was a Ginger fan. Mary Ann looked too much like my sister. Ginger however reminded me of the scantly clad girls on the calender in my Dad’s workshop. Hormones won over wholesomeness.

[EEGator]

It is impossible to talk about hot chicks and post their pictures too often...impossible.

[gov_bean_ counter]

... and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that her Catwoman character wore leather, carried a whip and ended up being tied up a lot. :)

[Cowboy Bob]

Marsha from the Brady Bunch. She was HOT!

[dfwgator]

[tcrlaf]

Pia Zadora, Nastassja Kinski, Kristy McNichol...

I know, I know, I have a HORRIBLE taste in women!

[Oberon]

Erin Gray as Colonel Wilma Deering, on Buck Rogers.

[BelegStrongbow]

I second your emotion dfw. :)

[Johnny B.]

I'm getting really sick and tired of these frivolous posts regarding which female TV stars someone had a crush on! This is a serious political forum.

Oh, and Kate Jackson was the hottest of the Angels!

:-P

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

If you’re into blondes Fox news is one stop shopping. These blondes appear serious and not too smart. If you put a few drinks in them they probably wouldn’t shut up.

[Steely Tom]

... and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that her Catwoman character wore leather, carried a whip and ended up being tied up a lot. :)

Batman was so over the top! That show must have been a blast to work on. They got some pretty heavy hitters to appear; I think they got them because the show was so much fun.

Oh, and Maren Jensen as Athena, on Battlestar Galactica.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

nothing wrong with your first two.. the last two is a two bagger.. one bag for her and one bag for you.. in case hers fell off

[dfwgator]

Oh, and Kate Jackson was the hottest of the Angels!

I guess I'm not alone....the other Angels seemed too plastic to me.....Kate seemed like the one who would be the most wild behind closed doors, if you catch my drift.

[ken5050]

Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel on The Avengers..That leather body suit, with those high heeled boots...to die for..

Please someone post some pics....

[dfwgator]

I much preferred Mary Ann to Ginger.

I preferred Mrs. Howell to both of them.

[T. Rustin Noone]

At age 15 I was convinced that I could make Anne Margaret fall in love with me if I could only get her away From Elvis (Viva Las Vegas!).

[lowbridge]

I was 15 in 1984:

So, Judy Landers. She was all over tv in the early to mid 1980s. Vegas, Madame's Place, The Love boat, etc. Here she is in The A-Team:

[ScottinVA]

Valerie Bertinelli looks great these days too.

[brewcrew]

And what she looks like now. Still hot. Even hotter:

[Mouton]

Second vote for Thelia Menninger....Tuesday Weld.

[dblshot]

Well while not a TV star, Jacqueline Bisset makes Smith look like her little sister.

[bigheadfred]

This is a serious political forum.

seriesly

[RingerSIX]

This is a subject on which it is incredibly easy to wax nostalgic. Let me wander through the beautiful women in the recesses of my mind.

There’s the daughter on The Big Valley
The (older) daughter on Lost In Space
Secret Agent 99
Karen Valentine
Nardo
About a dozen Benny Hill girls
Lieutenant Dish
Jeannie
Samantha
Laurie Patridge
Laura Petrie
Yeoman Janice

...Mmmmm. That’s enough for me. Don’t want to be greedy.

[bigheadfred]

Yeah. I was gonna say Valerie. But I’m STILL in love with that girl.

[dfwgator]

Well while not a TV star, Jacqueline Bisset makes Smith look like her little sister.

She was probably my biggest teenage crush. I probably watched the movie "Class" about 20 times, wishing I was Andrew McCarthy.
