Quick Scoop: The First Angels

When people ask “who were the original Charlie’s Angels” , they usually mean the three lead detectives from the very first season of the classic 1976 TV show.

  • Sabrina Duncan – played by Kate Jackson, the more serious, strategic ex-policewoman.
  • Jill Munroe – played by Farrah Fawcett, the glamorous, athletic blonde who became a huge pop‑culture icon.
  • Kelly Garrett – played by Jaclyn Smith, the stylish, steady ex-cop who stayed with the show for its entire run.

These three worked as private investigators for the unseen Charlie Townsend, whose voice came over a speakerphone while they went undercover to crack cases.
