It might look like a publicity still from the first season of Aaron Spelling’s kitschy 70’s ABC TV series Charlie’s Angels. But it’s actually Farrah Fawcett (RIP) in a Halston fashion photo from ’round about that same time. Almost reminds me a bit of the edgy images shot by Helmut Newton for the 1978 film Eyes Of Laura Mars. Below are the three original Angels themselves: Kate Smith, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith, elegantly attired and fashion-shoot ready, even if they are armed with purse-size pistols and what must be a pre-cell phone era walkie-talkie. Talk about ‘stiletto gumshoes’.
There’ll soon be three more Angels to add to the growing mix with the Elizabeth Banks directed Charlies Angels reboot due in November. Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska are the new trio, with Banks herself not only directing but playing agency manager Bosley.
