Charlie’s Angels star Jaclyn Smith, 79, looked utterly ageless as she was spotted out and about in the Californian town of Montecito.
The actor is best known as Kelly Garrett in the private detective series Charlie’s Angels which ran from 1976 to 1981. She reprised this beloved role in the 2019 movie starring Kristen Stewart.
Now, Jaclyn was seen on a day out in Montecito with her daughter Spencer Kranz, 40, and seven-year-old granddaughter Bea in the sun while walking her dog.
The mum-of-two – who is married to her husband of 28 years, Brad Allen – wore a thick brown fur coat, grey jeans, trainers, and sunglasses to complete the stylish look.
At another point, she stepped out in a black and white striped top as she enjoyed some quality time with friends.
In September, she gave a sneak peek inside her Beverly Hills mansion, which she bought 25 years ago and is believed to have cost $25 million (£20m).

The home reportedly includes six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a sprawling back garden and a tennis court.
Although Jaclyn’s mansion has, so far, not been affected by the raging LA fires that have already burnt through countless homes, she did extend her support to those impacted.
‘Too many friends have lost homes, families have lost precious mementos from their loved ones, heirlooms, books, art and the treasures that tell the story of a life. . . all gone in an instant.
‘Despite this unimaginable tragedy, what remains is resilience, and the unwavering resolve of the human spirit,’ she wrote in a recent Instagram message to her 515k followers.
In the late 70s, she was one of the biggest US stars. Reflecting on the success of Charlie’s Angels, she told the Television Academy: ‘Our life was a whirlwind. We didn’t know what hit us. At one time [co-star Farrah Fawcett] described it as being at the centre of this storm.
‘As time goes on you see things more clearly. You realise the popularity and the enormous share we got. How this show stayed in the top 10, top five, number one many, many times.’
Alongside acting, she has also made a business empire (Picture: JISH / BACKGRID)

Since starring in the drama, she has shown no signs of slowing down and even secured a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Jacqueline Kennedy in the TV movie Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.
After that she appeared in a string of TV movies through the 90s and 00s and had cameo appearances in procedural dramas Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
In 2021, she guest starred in the CW series All American as Wendy Fine and she was recently spotted on the set of medical drama Dr Odyssey.
Outside of acting, the Hollywood actor also promoted her new fragrance line in November last year, alongside a recent relaunch of her 40-year-old fashion brand JS (which moved from Kmart to RDG Global).

Reflecting on building a successful fashion empire (which also features a collection of wigs and skincare products), she told Forbes in 2022: ‘The secret is to work hard, but if you are only doing it for a paycheck, you might as well give it up and do something else.
‘I have chosen such incredible people to work with to build my brand. It is a collaboration, and it is about the team surrounding you.’
And as to how she maintains that youthful spark all these years later, she added: ‘Challenges release endorphins and keep you young, and work is rejuvenating. I am at my best when I am working. My family is always my top priority, but; somehow, you make it all work.’
The actor shares two children, Spencer and Gaston Anthony, with her third husband, Tony Richmond who she divorced in 1989.
In 2023, she reunited with her former co-star Kate Jackson at her son, Gaston’s, wedding.
At the time she said: ‘She’s a friend for the ages, it goes the distance. She was there when Gaston was born. She spent Christmases with him early on, so it was really meant to be,’ per EW.
