As the 50th anniversary of Charlie’s Angels approaches, Jaclyn Smith has announced her memoir titled ‘I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie,’ set to be released on September 8, 2026. This date marks a significant milestone for fans of the iconic series that premiered in September 1976 and ran until 1981.

The memoir, published by Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster, will span 320 pages and delve into Smith’s extensive life journey. In her own words, she aims to “go beyond my shows and movies, and into a deeper place: my heart.” This personal narrative will explore her friendships with fellow Charlie’s Angels stars Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Cheryl Ladd.

Smith’s journey has not been without challenges. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, a battle that resonates with her co-stars, as Jackson faced cancer twice in the late 1980s, and Ladd described her own experience as a “long, hard road.” These shared struggles have forged a deep bond among the actresses.

Kate Jackson reflected on this connection, stating, “It is a real love. It doesn’t go away,” emphasizing the support they provide each other through life’s trials. Smith echoed this sentiment, noting, “We’re always there for each other whatever is going on.” This memoir promises to highlight not only their professional collaborations but also the enduring friendships that have developed over decades.

The release of Smith’s memoir is significant not only for her fans but also for those who have followed the Charlie’s Angels legacy. It serves as a reminder of the impact the show had on television and the lives of its stars. As the anniversary approaches, anticipation builds for insights into the lives of these beloved actresses.
