Charlie's
Angels Voice John Forsythe dies at 92
John
Forsythe passed away after his long battle with cancer.
"Hello, Angels": Actor John
Forsythe provided the voice of "Charlie" for the both
the long-running TV program and the films of 'Charlie's
Angels.'
John Forsythe, the debonair actor whose matinee-idol
looks, confident charm and mellifluous voice helped make
him the star of three hit television series, including
ABC’s glamour soap “Dynasty,” died on Thursday, April 1,
2010, at his home in Santa Ynez, Calif. He was 92.
Mr. Forsythe may be best remembered as Blake Carrington,
the dapper, silver-haired but ruthless Denver oil tycoon
on “Dynasty,” which ran from 1981 to 1989 and took its
place as a symbol of the affluent decade of the Reagan
administration. He often expressed amusement that the
role, as the object of two women’s fierce affection —
that of Joan Collins and Linda Evans — had made him a
sex symbol in his 60s.
Between those two series, Mr. Forsythe played a crucial
role in “Charlie’s Angels” (1976-81), the hit show about
three young, attractive female detectives, originally
played by Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett.
Mr. Forsythe’s part was as the sexy telephone voice of
their boss, a millionaire private eye who had others
handle his
Angel Statements
“I’m mourning with the rest of the world for the
talented, gorgeous, funny, intelligent John Forsythe but
my heart is broken for the loss of my dear, dear friend
and neighbor. I will miss him terribly. My husband and I
send our warmest and deepest regards to his family and
our cherished friend, his wife Nicole.” – Forsythe’s
former “Charlie’s Angels” co-star Cheryl Ladd
“I made an effort never to see him when he came in to
[record] his voiceover, but I left messages for him. And
he would leave me a note saying, ‘Hi Sabrina, it’s
Charlie. You’ll never catch me!’” – Former
“Charlie’s Angels” star Kate Jackson tells People
magazine
His
Charlie's Angels costar Kate Jackson told
PEOPLE that she used to leave notes around the set for
Forsythe. "I made an effort never to see him when he
came in to [record] his voiceover, but I left messages
for him," she said. "And he would leave me a note
saying, 'Hi Sabrina, it's Charlie. You'll never catch
me!'" After quitting the popular TV show, Jackson said
she saw Forsythe often. "He had a grace about him that
was incredibly awesome," she said. "John had a great
sense of humor, and he was wonderful." |

Jaclyn Smith to Guest on 'Law & Order: SVU'
 Jaclyn
Smith was great in her guest appearance on the NBC series
Law & Order: SVU.
For 'Law & Order: SVU,' the
plot line from the TV Guide write-up is as basic as can
be. Jaclyn will be playing a former cop who gets
involved with Stabler and Benson. That's all the
information we've heard thus far, but you can assume
something in the show will be ripped from the headlines
that will dovetail into Jaclyn's story.
Maybe she can be someone
who was once Olivia's mentor, someone Liv worked with
when she was just a rookie with the New York police
department. That would offer some good character
development especially considering Olivia's scarred
history that resulted in her getting into the Special
Victims Unit.
The episode is set to air on March 31st.

ABC
closing in on 'Charlie's Angels'
ABC
is close to giving a pilot order to a modern version of
"Charlie’s Angels." Josh Friedman, who recently adapted
the "Terminator" franchise for his Fox series
"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," is onboard to
write and exec produce the new "Angels."
Also involved are original "Charlie’s Angels" producer
Leonard Goldberg, who launched the series with
Aaron Spelling in 1976, as well as Drew Barrymore,
who starred in and produced the 2000 film version and
its sequel. Sony Pictures TV is the studio Insiders said
that ABC Entertainment Group topper Steve McPherson is
particularly high on this project.
Networks of late have found that it’s frequently a
challenge to take on iconic franchises — and several
recent reboots, such as this fall's "Melrose Place,"
have fallen short. But ABC is riding high this fall with
its adaptation of another such property, "V," which
bowed to boffo numbers. And insiders note that most of
those other properties had laid dormant for some time,
while "Charlie's Angeles" was just recently a strong
movie franchise. Plus, there's the part where "Charlie's
Angels" will make some noise by finding three new
ass-kicking female stars.
Sony is also busy adapting another 1970s Spelling (and
Goldberg-produced) property, "Fantasy Island" — but as a
reality show, along with Mark Burnett. No U.S. network
is attached as of yet to that project, which was
announced last month at the Mipcom TV confab.
The original "Charlie’s Angels" ran from 1976-81 and was
back in the news this summer following the death of
original star Farrah Fawcett. Spelling attempted a
revival in 1988, sealing a deal to produce a version
called "Angels 88" for Fox. That show never got off the
ground, but it eventually led to Spelling’s deal to
produce the original "Beverly Hills 90210" (now also
enjoying a revival, via the CW).
The franchise then lay dormant until 2000, when the McG-helmed
"Charlie’s Angels" feature, starring Barrymore, Lucy Liu
and Cameron Diaz, was a box office hit. Movie spawned a
second edition, "Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle."
It also led to an earlier attempt at a TV series
revival, in 2004. That version was written for ABC
(again, through Sony) by a pre-"Lost" Carlton Cuse and
John Wirth and given a script-plus-penalty order but
ultimately didn’t go to pilot.
This time around, a pilot is expected to be greenlit.
Friedman, Goldberg and Barrymore will exec produce with
Nancy Juvonen. Friedman’s other credits include
co-writing the features "War of the Worlds" and "The
Black Dahlia." The new "Charlie’s Angels" is expected to
be geared toward a new generation while paying homage to
the past.

Farrah Fawcett Rest In Peace
Farrah Fawcett, our beloved Charlie's Angel with the
feathered blond hair and the dazzling smile, died on
Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62. Farrah died
shortly before 9:30 a.m. in a Santa Monica hospital,
spokesman Paul Bloch said. Ryan O'Neal, the longtime
companion who had reunited with Fawcett as she fought
anal cancer, was at her side, along with close friend
Alana Stewart, Bloch said. "After a long and brave
battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away,"
O'Neal said. "Although this is an extremely difficult
time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the
beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the
years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so
many people around the world." Farrah Fawcett was buried
in a private ceremony which took place at the Cathedral
of Our Lady of Angels in LA on Wednesday, July 1,
In a cathedral that was filled with yellow, white and
peach flowers, and in a service that included a
rendition of "Amazing Grace" and bagpipes, Farrah's
longtime love Ryan O'Neal and their son Redmond O'Neal
read bible passages to say goodbye. Redmond, who was
allowed to leave jail for his mother's funeral, gave the
first reading at the funeral, followed by a reading from
his father, who said that his son did a beautiful job.
Many mourners expressed their love and support for
Redmond.
Family members were joined at the funeral by celeb
friends, including Farrah's former Charlie's Angels
co-stars Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. Also seen
arriving were novelist Jackie Collins, Dynasty star Joan
Collins and Alana Stewart, close friend and producer of
the documentary that followed Farrah's cancer battle.
"Farrah had courage, she had strength, and she had
faith. And now she has peace as she rests with the real
angels," said Jaclyn Smith after the death of her friend
and Charlie's Angels costar Farrah Fawcett.
Cheryl Ladd, who replaced Fawcett on the wildly popular
'70s show, says: "I'm terribly sad about Farrah's
passing. She was incredibly brave, and God will be
welcoming her with open arms."
"I will miss Farrah every day," says Kate Jackson. "She
was a selfless person who loved her family and friends
with all her heart, and what a big heart it was. Farrah
showed immense courage and grace throughout her illness
and was an inspiration to those around her. When I think
of Farrah I will remember her kindness, her cutting dry
wit and, of course, her beautiful smile." Added Jackson,
"Today when you think of Farrah remember her smiling,
because that is exactly how she wanted to be
remembered." |

Charlie's Angels long-Awaited Season 4 is
Finally Coming to DVD
 This coming 4th-of-July marks the third
anniversary since fans of Charlie's Angels first
saw the third season set of the show released on
DVD.
At last, it now appears that Sony Pictures
Home Entertainment is finally moving forward
with Charlie's Angels - The Complete 4th
Season, which saw the introduction of
Shelley Hack as "fifth angel" Tiffany Welles
(a graduate of Boston's police academy), and the
final appearances of Farrah Fawcett as "original
angel" Jill Munroe. Except for Farrah (credited
as "Farrah Fawcett-Majors" at the time, since
she was still married to Lee Majors) appearing
in the episodes "Fallen Angel," "The Prince and
the Angel" and "An Angel's Trail", the makeup of
the team this year consisted of Kelly (Jaclyn
Smith), Kris (Cheryl Ladd) and Tiffany.
VideoETA, a website produced by home video
distributor Ingram Entertainment, has revealed
that Charlie's Angels - The Complete 4th Season
is coming out from Sony on July 21st. This will
be a 6-disc set costing $39.95 SRP, according to
their information. The fan site
CharliesAngels.com also agrees with that release
date (our thanks to the various readers of that
website who took the time to e-mail us over the
weekend). Sony's announcement date for this
title is apparently next Monday (5/11),
according to our sources, but if word about
further details leaks out prior to then, we'll
certainly update you immediately. Stay tuned for
that, and package art.
This 1979-80 run of episodes began with a
double-length season premiere which crossed over
with fellow ABC series The Love Boat (both
programs were produced by Aaron Spelling). Just
days before the other show had it's own
third-season debut, the Angels took an
assignment from Charlie aboard the Pacific
Princess. Note that "Love Boat Angels" should
not be confused with the first-season episode
"Angels at Sea"!
Counting the season premiere as a single (albeit
extra-long) story, that means there would be 25
episodes in Charlie's Angels - The Complete 4th
Season. They included such guest stars as Dick
Sargent, Judy Landers, Bert Convy, Gavin
MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, Fred Grandy, Ted Lange,
Lauren Tewes, Royce D. Applegate, Mickey Jones,
Kim Cattrall, Timothy Dalton, Louise Sorel,
Sally Kirkland, Ed Begley Jr., Rene Auberjonois,
Gary Collins, Nita Talbot, Simon Oakland, Marc
Alaimo, James Gleason, Cesar Romero, Robert
Englund, Louis Jourdan, Tab Hunter, Barbara
Stanwyck, Robert Loggia, Tricia O'Neil, and a
two-part season finale with Patrick Duffy, Ray
Milland, Harry Townes and Robert Reed. |
