A reboot of Charlie’s Angels is in the works, and before the latest version of the show is out, we wanted to know how the various actresses that had been involved in the film throughout the years have been doing lately.

Bowing Out Gracefully

Kate Jackson played the role of Sabrina Duncan for the first three seasons of the series, but she quit afterward to better her career. She landed a role in Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and proved her worth through four seasons. But then her roles had dwindled, and she finally decided to call it quits in 2007. Her final professional acting role was in the “Honor Among Thieves” episode of Criminal Minds.

My Dear Watson

Lucy Liu played a big role in rejuvenating the Charlie’s Angels franchise as Alex Munday, back in the 2000s. The film helped her raise her stock, and since 2012, she’s been starring as Dr. Joan Watson in the American procedural drama series Elementary. Her strong and consistent performances have earned her three consecutive nominations for Favorite TV Crime Drama Actress at the People’s Choice Awards.

Through the End

No other female lead actress was able to stick around and last through the whole length of the original series other than Jaclyn Smith. She made a cameo appearance in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle more than two decades since the series ended, as Kelly Garrett. Smith has moved on from her acting career to become a successful entrepreneur, and she owns multiple fashion brands.

A Box Office Queen

Cameron Diaz’ depiction of Natalie Cook has helped propel her acting career to become the fifth highest grossing actress in 2019. All her films compounded, she’s reported to have a gross of $3 billion. Her acting career had spanned some 22 years. In 2018, she decided to move on to a quieter life outside of show business, and she currently lives with her husband Benji Madden (of the Good Charlotte band) in Long Beach.

Mother Knows Best

Cheryl Ladd starred as Kris Munroe from 1977 to 1981. After that, she’d show up time and time again on television. She was cast in the (Emmy) award-winning film The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, wherein she depicted Linell Shapiro. She had the opportunity of working with her daughter in the movie The Christmas Contract in 2018, and they hadn’t worked with each other since 1998, in Every Mother’s Worst Fear. Ladd actively participates in movements against child abuse as the ambassador of the Childhelp organization.

 The Wisdom Segment

  • I Prior to the introduction of the modern day Santa Claus in Scandinavia, the Scandinavian countries believed in the Yule goat. The goat wandered all over, in order to see that people were preparing for the Yule, and asked for gifts on the side.
  • II A 1849 short story, “A Christmas Legend”, written by James Rees, had the first mention of Mrs. Claus. She was later mentioned in Katherine Lee Bate's 1889 poem, “Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride”. “Goody” was the short form of “Goodwife” or “Mrs”.
  • III The naughty children in the Santa Claus narrative often received coals as gifts. Santa is seen wriggling down the chimney, and this makes it easy for him to pick up a coal. Some other theory brings coal to Carles Dickens' “Christmas Carol”, in which Scrooge, a character, refuses to hand Bob Cratchit even one piece of coal.
  • IV The figure of Santa Claus, after Europe became Christianized, drew to itself more and more pagan elements, that included the narrative of the God Odin. The god sported a long white beard and rode a large war horse with eight legs.
  • V There is a mystery surrounding St. Nicholas that later informed of his character and heroism. At birth, it was report that St. Nicholas had stood up, just as he was born. He praised God. During the fast period, even as a baby, he would refuse milk from his mother.
