Why It Matters
A television icon from one of the 1970s’ most popular series is exploring a return to the entertainment industry after two decades away from Hollywood. The actress has spent the past 20 years living on a 128-acre farm in Virginia and is now in California evaluating opportunities in acting and directing.
What Happened
Kate Jackson, best known for her role as Sabrina Duncan on the hit series “Charlie’s Angels,” told People magazine she is considering a return to the entertainment industry. Jackson left Hollywood 20 years ago and has since lived on a farm in Virginia’s mountains.
The actress said she is currently in California exploring potential work opportunities. She expressed particular interest in directing, calling it “really fun” and stating she is “pretty darn good at it.”
Life on the Farm
Jackson described her Virginia property as 128 acres of mostly wooded land where she keeps chickens and horses. She said the location is quiet and peaceful, offering her a retreat from public life.
The actress said she enjoys living in the mountains and still skis, though she acknowledged she “shouldn’t.” Jackson called the farm “a good place for me.”
Career Background
Jackson rose to prominence in the 1970s as one of the original stars of “Charlie’s Angels,” which became a cultural phenomenon. She also earned acclaim for her work on television series “The Rookies” and “Scarecrow and Mrs. King.”
The actress became a prominent television star during her career before stepping away from the public eye two decades ago.
What’s Next
Jackson told the magazine she always knew she might want to return to entertainment. She said creative people need creative outlets and that the possibility of working again had remained in the back of her mind.
She is now evaluating what opportunities exist in acting or directing. The actress recently attended a “Charlie’s Angels” 50th anniversary celebration in Hollywood with former co-stars.
