Charlie’s Angels vet Jaclyn Smith, 79, in Montecito after fleeing $20M Beverly Hills mansion amid ‘tragic’ fires

BBG News

Jaclyn Smith was seen shopping in Montecito near Santa Barbara, California, on Sunday.

In a beige, plushy jacket, the seasoned Charlie’s Angel had a fresh, youthful appearance. She styled her highlighted tresses loose and paired the look with jeans. Under her arm, she casually carried an Hermès handbag.

The celebrity from Texas, who once resided in a $20M mansion in Beverly Hills, sought refuge in a seaside community as she departed, due to the raging wildfires in Los Angeles.

Last week, the fashion designer shared their concerns over the devastating fires in the Los Angeles region, where the smoke has been thick enough to make breathing difficult for many people.

In her writing, the actress lamented that far too many friends have been left homeless, families have lost irreplaceable keepsakes such as heirlooms, books, art, and items that chronicle their lives’ stories – all vanishing in a heartbeat.

Even in the face of such an extraordinary calamity, there’s a lingering strength – the indomitable resilience – and the undying determination of the human spirit that continues to shine.

Smith also sent her ‘prayers’ and thanked the firefighters.

Jaclyn’s precise address within Beverly Hills remains uncertain, though it could be near the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). If the fire extends to the 405 freeway, there might be an evacuation order for UCLA.

Kathy Hilton, friend of hers whose daughter Paris Hilton recently lost her Malibu house in a fire, clicked the ‘like’ button.

As a fervent admirer of nature, I’ve been closely monitoring the situation with the Palisades Fire. This morning, I received an update from Cal Fire that the fire has expanded to cover approximately 23,713 acres, a significant increase. Yet, there’s some good news: it’s now 14% contained, which is an uptick of 1% compared to yesterday’s figures. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for continued progress!

Within the designated area and surrounding islands, there’s still an ongoing fire that could potentially endanger the containment barriers, as stated in the 6 a.m. local time report on Monday.

So far 24 people have died in the LA fires. 

24 years ago, I purchased a beautiful mansion in Beverly Hills, and last year, I had the pleasure of inviting my fans for a peek into this approximately $20 million residence of mine.

The well-known actress showcased her autumn styles for her fashion label, JS, which she markets through HSN.

The attractive woman with dark hair was sharing some news on her Instagram; she was letting her followers know the date she would reappear on the shopping channel.

Let’s explore the newest fall fashions together on HSN! I have an array of stunning knit sweaters inspired by my top-selling designs, even my adorable pup Tilly gives them a thumbs up!”

“Hop onto HSN with me for a peek at the latest trends in autumn fashion. There’s a lineup of exquisite knit sweaters based on my best-sellers, and even my dear dog Tilly thinks they are fabulous!

For years now, I, a devoted admirer, have been captivated by the grandeur of this estate that’s been graced by my idol for decades. Back in 1991, I watched with bated breath as she acquired the magnificent Georgian colonial property, a stunning addition to her already impressive domain.

This property boasts six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a spacious backyard perfect for cultivating roses, a tennis court, and a play area designed especially for the granddaughter.

Smith, who has recently debuted her own perfume, is among the highly accomplished celebrities from the 1970s. She’s starred in numerous films and has been creating fashion lines for women since the 1980s. With a reported net worth of $150M, she continues to make an impact in various industries.

The actress who was once part of “Charlie’s Angels” and portrayed the stunningly beautiful private detective Kelly Garrett in the popular 1970s show, was recently spotted showing off an outfit from her home.

Jaclyn played Kelly Garrett in the television series that ran from 1976 to 1981, and since then, it has developed into an enduring, cult favorite. Jaclyn was the sole actress who stayed with the show for all five seasons until its conclusion in 1981.

Jaclyn did all 110 episodes of the show.

She remains quite friendly with her fellow actor Cheryl Ladd, who portrayed Kris Munroe across 87 episodes, as well as with Kate Jackson.

But some of her costars have sadly passed. 

Farrah Fawcett, known for her role as Jill Munroe, passed away in 2009 following a prolonged fight against cancer. On the other hand, David, best remembered as boss John Bosley, departed in 1997.

Smith has an incredible work history. 

Following her stint in Charlie’s Angels, the model appeared in various television films, including Florence Nightingale (1985) and Windmills of the Gods (1988).

Apart from that, she ventured into the world of fashion as well, creating garments for K-Mart. This was quite unconventional during that particular era. Since then, she’s consistently maintained this line and even extended it to include beddings and furniture.

Back in 2003, I had the privilege of stepping into the world of Charlie’s Angels once more, sharing the screen with Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in the movie adaptation. More recently, I found myself rejoining this dynamic trio in the latest big-screen iteration, directed by Elizabeth Banks. This revival was quite the explosion 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.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I deeply cherish my family, our humble abode, the art of gardening, the melodies of Tchaikovsky, America’s favorite pastime (baseball), the timeless cinematic masterpiece “Gone with the Wind”, and the delightful culinary skills of my mother – not to mention my beloved canine companions. These elements enrich my life in a way that makes every day extraordinary.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Jaclyn took her initial steps onto the dance floor at just three years old. After honing her acting skills, she pursued a degree in drama at Trinity University. This led to her swift involvement in stage productions such as Bye Bye Birdie, West Side Story, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Originally from Texas, she embarked on her dance dream and eventually moved to New York. There, an agent recognized her timeless elegance, positioning her perfectly for television work. Consequently, she became the Breck Girl, gracing many American households, which ultimately opened doors to partnerships with Wella Balsam and Max Factor.

With Max Factor, Jaclyn Smith created a new fragrance called Jaclyn Smith’s California. This signature scent was awarded as the top-performing mass-produced fragrance when it debuted in 1989.

Eventually, Hollywood called, leading her to star in well-known shows like McCloud, The Rookies, and Switch.

1976 saw Jaclyn take on the role of Kelly Garrett in Charlie’s Angels, and she was the sole cast member who stayed with the show throughout its entire five-year broadcast tenure on television.

In the role of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, Jaclyn was nominated for a Golden Globe due to her critically praised performance in ‘Charlie’s Angels’, one of the highest-rated TV films ever made.

Jaclyn is often referred to as the “Queen of Mini-Series.” She starred in several critically acclaimed miniseries, including ‘Rage of Angels’, ‘George Washington’, ‘Rage of Angles: The Story Continues’, ‘The Bourne Identity’, and ‘Family Album’. Among her favorite roles was portraying the title character in ‘Florence Nightengale.’

Notably, Jaclyn has compiled an impressive filmography of more than 50 films and TV appearances.

1989 saw Jaclyn receiving a star on the globally recognized Hollywood Walk of Fame. She shared the screen in the CBS series ‘The District,’ playing DA Vanessa Cavanaugh, and made appearances on episodes titled ‘Faith and Hope.’ Moreover, she was cast as Judge Kay Woodbury in Hallmark’s television movie ‘Ordinary Miracles,’ which premiered in May 2005.

The stunning debut of Jaclyn on the 2006 Emmy broadcast prompted Bravo TV executives to choose her as the star host for their weekly reality competition series, ‘Shear Genius’. This show premiered in March 2007, with Season 2 following in June 2008.

Jaclyn’s captivating performance at the 2006 Emmy Awards caught Bravo TV producers’ attention, leading them to select her as the celebrity host for their weekly competitive reality series, ‘Shear Genius’. This series first aired in March 2007, and Season 2 was broadcast in June 2008.

Lately, Jaclyn has been featured on TV shows such as NBC’s ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’, CBS’s ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’, and Hallmark’s latest film titled ‘Bridal Waves’.

1985 marked the entry of Jaclyn into the corporate realm, as she debuted a line of women’s clothing and accessories exclusively for Kmart retail outlets.

She was a trailblazer in the idea of celebrities creating their own brands instead of just promoting other products. Now, over 100 million women have bought clothes or accessories with her brand label.

In February 2007, Jaclyn commenced collaborating with a prominent global home textile distributor, Trend/Fabricut, on an exclusive initiative involving fabrics and trimmings.

Back in September 2008, I proudly unveiled my fresh collection of bedroom and bathroom decor at Kmart, marking the start of a new era for me as a lifestyle expert. Since then, I’ve expanded my offerings to encompass outdoor living essentials, stylish home furnishings, and an array of seasonal items that reflect my passion for creating comfortable, inviting spaces for all.

In October 2008, Jaclyn Smith teamed up with her long-time friend and renowned hairstylist, José Eber, to introduce a fresh line of hair styles called “STYLE by Jaclyn Smith”. This collaboration was also backed by Paula Young.

In 2010, Jaclyn teamed up with her husband, Dr. Brad Allen – a highly respected medical researcher – to create a line of luxurious cleansers, moisturizers, and protective skincare products. These products were designed to complement her simple daily routine effectively and harmoniously work together.

2022 saw the debut of Smith’s fresh fashion line, which can now be found at both Nordstrom Rack and HSN.

As a lifestyle expert, I can confidently say that I’ve been incredibly blessed to be recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful individuals by esteemed publications like Harper’s Bazaar, US, TV Guide, and People Magazine not once, but twice. My career has consistently provided me with exhilarating and intriguing opportunities, yet nothing brings me greater joy than prioritizing my family above all else. I approach life without any regrets, knowing that every experience, both the highs and lows, have led me to where I am today.

My husband Brad, son Gaston Anthony, and daughter Spencer Margaret are the ones who anchor me and inspire me deeply. They are the core of my being.
