Jaclyn Smith DANCES

That's some cute dancing but that's all.

I've seen middle school show choirs do harder shit.

She was the archangel. She could do everything. She even swallowed swords and ate fire on the episode where they go undercover at a circus.

Those 70s porn 'staches on the boys - atrocious

Did she dance like she acted?

Then no.

The song, Dancin' Fool.

Jaclyn Smith is 72 and her dancing days are over.

Jaclyn Smith happens to be a classically trained dancer. She went to NYC to pursue a career in dance. It was at a professional show (she was in the chorus) where she got discovered by a commercial agent, which led to acting

R8 Interesting!

She's got 2 left feet & a brain to match!

But her acting is atrocious.

That was a ghastly episode in sorrowful Season 5, but you could tell Jaclyn had a lot of fun with the dancing.

God I hope she got it.

True story: My favorite dance partner was Bootsie Gumdrops.

Another true story: I had a cat called Bootsie Gumdrops.

Another true story: My favorite dance partner was Bootsie Gumdrops.

Was this trying to capitalize on some Chorus Line craze at the time?

R15, Yes, the episode was even called "Chorus Line Angels".

I wonder if she always has an "I arrived in NY with $35 in my pocket and a big dream of being a dancer" speech on hand like Madonna?

so catchy!

How very....Branson.

Well, that dance combination looks DEVILISHLY complicated!

I say if she could do THAT, then YES....the stage was her oyster!

She wanted to be a professional ballerina.

That looks more like struttin and prancin than dancing.

Did Bob Fosse choreograph that scene?

You want to talk embarrassing, Jaclyn did the opening for the Emmy Awards one year and did some dancing. She introduced different dancing clips and was superimposed in the clips. It ended with her being hoisted in the air with her hands up, ala the Emmy Award. She was roasted and I haven't been able to find it.

Chorus Line Angels had two Cassies from ACL, Pamela Peadon who finished the LA Run and poor Sandy Roveta who was the original Cassie in the International Company.

This is worth a few laughs.

Thank fuck we were gone by then!

So I wasn't the only Hack!

Y'all bitches better not come for my favorite Angel. Jaclyn's been my favorite since the Charlie Angels TV movie pilot. With that said, GURL! I always dread watching that episode. Blame the choreographer. Was that the same episode from season 1 that takes place in Reno? In order to cause a distraction, Jaclyn/Kelly Garrett went over to the chorus line bitch and not only started a fight but proceeded to whip her ass. Yeah, Kelly was about that life. My girl! lol

R28, your girl is beautiful, but she’s no Vanessa Redgrave when it comes to acting talent.

She’s no Vanessa Redgrave when it comes to dancing talent either.

I cannot believe that they actually ran that entire wretched, criminally insipid performance from r25 in a Charlie’s Angels episode.

I would have canceled the series on the spot if I were a network executive.

I kept watching it trying to spot the other two angels.

R32 it is only Jaclyn in the group dance segment, as she is the only one who has professional dance training

R31 Charlie's Angels was escapist dreck in the first place so this was just one more bad episode. Besides, in the last season no one much cared anymore.

Jaclyn may not be the best actress or dancer but she is very naturally pretty.

She was lucky she got cast on an iconic television show. Dancers have short careers generally and end up forgotten.

The show was canceled a few weeks before Chorus Line Angels aired. It was the worst episode of the entire series. Season 5 did have some real stinkers - Chorus Line Angels, Moonshinin' Angels, Mr. Galaxy (nice male eye candy though), and the finale Let Our Angel Live were terrible. Kelly got shot in the head for a second time during the series and it used lots of flashback clips.

Has any other TV character been shot in the head twice?

R37 Marlena on Days of our Lives

Another excuse for Jaclyn to dance on the show. This time belly dancing.

she is not that bad, why did most people vote no?

Is Miss Smith wearing a corset?

R25 They spared no expense with those Greek columns in that lavish production number, did they?

Remember when she was the host of Top Hair or Top Haircut or whatever it was?

The show that gave us Tabatha Coffey, a ventriloquist dummy as the season two winner, and McConnaughey's alleged real love's catchphrase which sounded like "Remember, hayoe is impoetent."

Ah, those were the days.

Our goofball president was replaced with a real president.

A clown presidency was inconcievable.

Harry Potter was still making movies...

I don't think we've talked about this enough.

Season 5 brought us Margo.

She did a better job belly dancing.

Wow white tights really are not forgiving on ANYONE.

Maybe she wasn’t much of an actress, but she was the prettiest and I always gave her credit for never trying to leave, because she had a five year contract and actually respected it. She was raised well.

Bootsy Gumdrops is one of those inside DL jokes I’ve missed the origin, but she seems anything but loopy at least to me.

There’s no Reno episode R28! I know your comment is two years old but if you like this hoofing shelter cat so much you’d know that.

Dear God, that dance routine was awful! Was it a parody?

Jaclyn “danced” in the beauty pageant episode as well (and maybe the one where they went to Vegas)? It seemed like something Aaron Spelling did to appease her, in the same way they kept letting Dixie Carter sing on Designing Women.

I’m a shelter cat. I was Jaclyn’s first cat. And even I know she can’t dance.

She dances in both Vegas episodes, the one from S.1 e.17 ‘Vegas Connection” and S.3 e.1 “Angels in Vegas”

[quote] It seemed like something Aaron Spelling did to appease her, in the same way they kept letting Dixie Carter sing on Designing Women.

Or like the rock numbers teens on a successful show start doing, for instance on the most recent season of CAOS.

r25- Every single one of those gay male dancers have a mustache. There must have been a casting call right out of the CASTRO in SF back in 1979.

I hate when a TV show does this just to give the actor a chance to “shine”. Especially when the actor is playing a character with absolutely no ties to show business.

As annoying as the Jaclyn dancing sequences were, a much bigger offender -IMO- was the episode in which they let Cheryl Ladd sing. I’m convinced this was the incident that made Kate Jackson loathe Cheryl 😄. Bitch, you’re playing a character who graduated from the fucking police academy!

There doesn’t seem to be a video or GIF of Jaclyn’s interpretive dance from the beauty pageant episode. It was amazing!

Jaclyn almost rivals Britney for energy and enthusiasm!
