‘Charlie’s Angels’ star Jaclyn Smith says beauty secret isn’t makeup or diet after fans praise youthful glow
Jaclyn Smith is proving age is just a number.
The “Charlie’s Angels” legend opened up about her youthful glow at 80, saying love matters more than makeup.
Smith stunned on the red carpet at the Paley Honors Spring Gala in New York City, where she reunited with former co-star Kate Jackson to celebrate the iconic series’ 50th anniversary.
When Fox News Digital asked the TV icon what the beauty secret was behind her flawless look, she replied, “Clean living, being loved.”

“I have the best family in the whole wide world to grow up with. Great husband, two beautiful children, three granddaughters. So, it doesn’t get better than that. It’s all about love, all about family with me.”
The actress, who played Kelly Garrett from 1976 until the series wrapped in 1981, stunned on the red carpet of the event at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
She shared photos from The Paley Honors gala in New York alongside Jackson, reflecting on the iconic television series nearly 50 years after its debut.
“Hello from The Paley Honors gala in New York! What a treat to celebrate again with my friends from the Paley Center,” Smith wrote on Instagram.
“Kate and I were so lucky to attend and accept this on behalf of our Charlie’s Angels family, continuing in our celebration of 50 years since the launch of the series. Grateful doesn’t begin to encompass how I feel to have been and continue to be a part of that legacy.”

“Jaclyn Smith, a true iconic lady. Stylish, classy. timeless and we your fans just enjoy so much seeing you living your best life. Thank you,” another commenter shared.
Before she became one of television’s most recognizable stars, Smith said she had no idea “Charlie’s Angels” would change pop culture forever.
When Fox News Digital asked whether she realized she was becoming a style icon at the time, Smith said, “When I was starting out, no.”

“But I guess we did pave the way for some glamor and looking at women in a different way. We sort of paved that way for new roles for women.”
“Charlie’s Angels” became an instant sensation after premiering in 1976, turning Smith, Jackson and Farrah Fawcett into global stars almost overnight.
Fawcett famously exited after the first season, while Jackson left after Season 3 — leaving Smith as the only original Angel to stay for the show’s entire five-season run.
The Paley Honors Spring Gala honored the cultural legacy of the hit crime drama, which Jackson said still airs around the world five decades after its debut.

Jackson admitted she’s shocked by the show’s staying power.
“Oh, it’s wonderful,” Jackson said. “I mean, that we would be here 50 years later, 50 years after the debut, and it’s still on television all over the world, never has gone off. It’s just really amazing.”
These days, however, Jackson has traded Hollywood chaos for farm life in Virginia and has zero regrets.
“I’d rather be on the farm than on any red carpet any day of the week,” Jackson quipped.

The actress said life away from Hollywood’s spotlight brings a kind of peace she never found in the entertainment industry.
“I love that there’s no pressure, it’s just wonderful, there are the animals and some friends… and it’s a great way to live,” she said. “It is a heck of a lot better than … this can be a little overwhelming.”
Meanwhile, Smith’s own Hollywood journey has spanned more than five decades.
After starting out as a model in the early 1970s, she landed guest spots on shows including “McCloud,” “Switch” and “The Rookies” before “Charlie’s Angels” catapulted her to superstardom.
She later earned critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination for portraying Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the TV movie “Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.”
Off-screen, Smith has been married four times and eventually found lasting love with surgeon Brad Allen, whom she married in 1997 after meeting him while her father was receiving treatment at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center.

Piece of theme park history vanishes as Universal demolishes a cherished attraction
More than 25 years after it debuted as one of Universal Orlando’s most iconic themed lands, the Lost Continent is beginning a phased closure at Islands of Adventure.
Demolition work has started inside the aging land. Footage from a local station’s news helicopter showed an excavator positioned next to a pile of rubble, according to multiple reports.
“In the coming months, venues and experiences within Lost Continent will permanently close in phases to make way for a new themed area,” a Universal Orlando spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

“This will include the closure of Mythos Restaurant in 2027,” a statement also noted.
The Lost Continent opened with Islands of Adventure in 1999, helping to define the park’s early identity with mythology-inspired architecture, towering stone facades and elaborate storytelling rooted in ancient legends.
For years, it served as one of the resort’s most atmospheric lands, blending fantasy adventure, cutting-edge effects and live entertainment, according to Universal Orlando.
The area was also home to several fan-favorite attractions.
ICONIC SECTIONS OF DISNEY WORLD CLOSING DOWN AND DISAPPEARING BEFORE VISITORS’ EYES
The Dueling Dragons roller coasters — later re-themed as Dragon Challenge after the arrival of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — were among the resort’s most iconic thrill rides.
They were famous for their intertwined layouts, synchronized dispatches and near-miss elements, per Universal Orlando and Wizarding World history pages.
Poseidon’s Fury was another signature attraction, drawing crowds with dramatic water tunnel effects, bursts of fire and live actors.
But over the last 15 years, Universal has steadily chipped away at the land.

In 2010, the Dueling Dragons coasters were re-themed as Dragon Challenge as part of the neighboring Wizarding World of Harry Potter expansion, according to Universal Orlando.
That attraction ultimately closed in 2017 to make way for Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, now one of the resort’s most popular rides.
The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad, a stunt-heavy live show, said goodbye in 2018.
Poseidon’s Fury closed in 2023, according to Universal Orlando’s retired attractions page.
Mythos Restaurant is expected to remain open through 2027 as part of Universal’s phased closure plan, according to the company press release.
“Universal Orlando Resort is continuing its unprecedented momentum as it prepares for a slate of compelling new guest offerings across the destination, ranging from new themed areas to delicious eateries,” the resort said in a release shared with Fox News Digital.

Universal announced the resort’s Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida is temporarily closed to prepare for what the company calls a “reimagined experience.”
The updated production “will showcase a mix of classic and modern horror properties along with shockingly fun surprises.“
Hogwarts Castle at Islands of Adventure has seen ongoing maintenance and refurbishment work in recent years, according to Orlando Informer.
Universal Orlando will debut Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift in 2027, a high-speed roller coaster based on the blockbuster movies, the press release noted.
The demolition drew mixed reactions from Universal visitors.
“Glad it’s finally happening because it’s needed it. I mean, the two attractions have been closed for 8 years and 3 years,” one Reddit user said.
But many fans were sad to see Lost Continent go.
“Goodbye, Lost Continent, you will always be my favorite show,” said one TikTok user.

“RIP, Lost Continent. Thank you for everything,” another said.
A third TikTok user chimed in with these words: “The end of an era.”
