But no one can replace the beauty and sex appeal of this pinup.

Since she was on that show she has made many TV movies and then created a blockbuster clothing line that has made her a fortune.

The brunette bombshell still works on the line to this day. On her down time, she hangs out with her two kids and doctor spouse.

She was on the hottest TV show of the 1970s that made her a global superstar. In this new image she is unrecognizable because she is pouting. Who is this 78-year-old beauty?

She is Jaclyn Smith from the smash hit private detective series Charlie’s Angels. 

Smith has been able to stay young looking even though she is well into her seventies.

And the 78-year-old Charlie’s Angels veteran showed her fans once again that she looks half her age as she shared a new Instagram post for her nearly 500K followers on Thursday. 

The Rage Of Angels star said she had a secret shoot.

She was modeling a look that she is selling at Nordstrom Rack under the name JS For Nordstrom Rack.

In 2022 Jaclyn also shocked fans with her youthful appearance.

She looked younger than her son, who is 41-year-old Gaston Richmond whom she had with third husband, Anthony B Richmond, 81. Her caption read, ‘My son-shine.’ 

Jaclyn wore her highlighted hair down and was beautifully made up as she placed her arms around her boy.

Her son looked happy to be in his mother’s arms as he showed off his salt and pepper hair while in a gray T-shirt while at her home in Beverly Hills.

Gaston has a career as a camera man on TV shows. He most recently worked on the Party Of Five revival that came out in 2020.

Smith has stayed very young looking even though it has been decades since she was a TV pinup.

In February clothing designer Jaclyn took to Instagram to share one of her tricks for staying young.

The brunette bombshell, who exercises regularly and practices yoga, said a green smoothie can do wonders.

And the star even shared the recipe for her magic elixir.

‘Here’s a recipe for one of my favorite green smoothies!’ began the star.

‘It’s delicious and gives me a boost of energy! Ingredients: 1/2 cucumber 1/2 apple 1/4 lemon 1 stalk celery 1 slice ginger 1/4 cup of spinach 1/4 cup of kale Instructions: Add water to cover 1/2 of ingredients & blend. Enjoy!’

SMITH’S GREEN RECIPE 

Ingredients

1/2 cucumber

1/2 apple

1/4 lemon

1 stalk celery

1 slice ginger

1/4 cup of spinach

1/4 cup of kale 

Instructions: Add water to cover 1/2 of ingredients & blend

In the clip she wore a beige sweater with her hair down as she added flattering makeup while in her big, white kitchen of her home. 

And her white dog made a cameo while in the background.

She even showed photos of her ingredients on the kitchen counter. 

During the video the native of Houston, Texas talked through how she makes the delicious drink.

According to webmd, the ‘insoluble fiber in leafy greens helps food to pass through your digestive system, reducing issues like constipation and bloating. 

‘It also helps with bone strength, immunity support and lowers the risk of chronic disease.

‘And green smoothies can also lower cholesterol and contribute to better heart health.’ 

This comes after Smith paid tribute to her former Charlie’s Angels costar Tanya Roberts who died in January after suffering from a UTI.

Jaclyn was Kelly Garrett on the series that aired from 1976 until 1981 and has since become an iconic, cult classic. 

Gaston's father is Anthony B Richmond, 79. Jaclyn and Anthony were wed from 1981 until 1989. She has been married to doctor Brad Allen since 1997

In 2017 Jaclyn – who did all 110 episodes of the show – said she has stayed close to her co-star Cheryl Ladd, who starred as Kris Munroe for 87 episodes. 

‘We stay close, but time marches on and there’s great things to replace it, but it’s a mix of things: It’s fun but yet, also, “Hey, wow, a lot of things have happened.” 

‘A lot good, but some sad things, too: We went through Farrah’s illness, and David Doyle’s passing.’ 

Farrah Fawcett, who played Jill Munroe, died in 2009 after a long battle with cancer.

David who played boss John Bosley died in 1997.  

Smith has an incredible work history. She rose to fame in 1976 on the hit series Charlie’s Angels that featured Farrah and Kate Jackson.

She was the only actress to remain on the series for all five years when the show came to a close in 1981.

Next the pinup made several TV movies such as 1985’s Florence Nightingale and 1988’s Windmills Of The Gods.

She also got into fashion, designing clothes for K-Mart, which was unusual during that time. She has kept up the line ever since and expanded to bedding and furniture.

In 2003 she revisited Charlie’s Angels by appearing in the film with Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz. And she also popped in the latest film version from director Elizabeth Banks, which was a shock bomb at the box office.

Jaclyn was seen in the training scene. 

Smith’s last TV movie was Random Acts Of Christmas with Erin Cahill and Kevin McGarry.
