Nearly half a century has passed since Jaclyn Smith – aka Kelly Garrett in Charlie’s Angels – emerged from a swimming pool in a white bikini to pick up a ringing phone. ‘Hello?’ she answered huskily. ‘It’s Charlie, angel,’ boomed the baritone voice on the other end of the line. ‘Time to go to work.’ Smith’s face broke into a smile and in that moment her life changed. Today, everything about the opening clip of that first episode looks retro – from the clunky phone to the latticed poolside chair to the white bathing cap, which Smith removes to shake out her hair. Everything, except possibly Smith herself.She appears in the drawing room of her white hilltop mansion in looking like she’s just stepped off set. Of course she looks older – she is now 76 – but remains glamorous (if slightly muddy), despite a morning spent pruning the roses in her garden that slopes down the hill towards Sunset Boulevard.
