Charlie’s Angel Jaclyn Smith, 76, still shines in social media snaps that have wowed her followers

It’s nearly half a century since she burst on to our screens in Charlie’s Angels. Yet Jaclyn Smith seems hardly to have aged a day.

The 76-year-old looks just as youthful as she did when she began playing glamorous private investigator Kelly Garrett in the US TV series in 1976.

Miss Smith, who is married to heart surgeon Brad Allen, her fourth husband, has been impressing fans with her age-defying looks on Instagram, sharing pictures showing off her smooth complexion and trim frame.

In December she posted a picture with her son Gaston Richmond, leading some fans to suggest she looks like she could be his sister. 

The former pin-up has put her youthful look down in part to ‘great lighting’ in the photos.

One image shows her posing casually in blue denim jeans, while another shot sees her modelling a loose-fitting white blouse and matching trousers as she cosies up to Dr Allen.

‘Ready for a night on the town,’ she wrote.

Talking about the picture of her with Gaston, she told Page Six: ‘I’ll tell you it was a good photo. Right place, right time. That’s the luck of the draw. Great lighting.

‘I’m with a person that I adore, my son, and it was a going-away party, so my eyes were probably glistening with tears there, sparkling because he’s one of the humans I worship.’

Miss Smith was best known for playing Miss Garrett in Charlie’s Angels.

She starred alongside Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett and was the only Angel to make a cameo in the films.
