The Best Beauty Book I've Read in Years!
I've read the book many years back and still from time to time, its a good relaxation to open and re-read again this book written by a woman who deserves to be known asthe "perfect" American Look.

For Jaclyn Smith's fans, this is truly a collectible item.The photos are great and you will not get disappointed.I've read other books written by Victoria Principal, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Evans, etc..but this book is truly the best among the best! Her beauty and exercise tips are on target and real. Plus the big factor is the style of writing--there's life, art and heart when she discussed things.It's not just selling you the goods but sharing you her passion and love of what she does.

Excellent !!! ... Read more

The Charlies Angels Casebook
Very informative reading.You find out which angels stayed and which ones left,who had sucessful careers and who didnt.You find out who Charlie is even though you never see him in the show .Good reading.

An Excellent Case!
For any fan of Charlie's Angels, this book is a must.I will warn you, however, that you will probably blow through it in a matter of a few hours!The stories are fun, the bio's are well written, and the episode guide is accurate.It is a very easy read and I highly recommend it.

Great Stories But A Little One-Sided
To review this book I will divide it into two parts.

The first part is the story of Charlie's Angels from it's very first inception when it was about three "freelance crimefighters" calling themselves The Alley Cats to the final days of shooting when the show closed it production for good.There are a lot of interesting backstage tell-alls going on here featuring just about everyone connected with the show.We also have some pretty objectionable opinions on storylines and the direction of the series, as well as some pretty honest quotes from those that were involved.Very little was held back which makes this book an interesting read, but on the negative side there were a few cases which, unfortunately, sounded like one-sided gossip.
Example #1: the book, of course includes the story of Farrah Fawcett's abrupt decision to not return for season 2 and her subsequent lawsuit settlement which required her to make six more appearances.When she returned to film those episodes, she was "not warm to anyone," according to Cheryl Ladd."She did not want to be there."Unfortunately, Fawcett was not interviewed for this book, therefore her side of the story was not included.
Example #2: Kate Jackson became increasingly unhappy with the direction of the show and by seasons 2 & 3, she started making a lot of demands which added a lot of tension to the set.Additionally, she apparently was not happy with the hiring of Ladd and the two actresses did not get along very well throughout the two years they filmed the show together.However, Jackson was not interviewed for this book, therefore her side of the story is not included.
In fact, one of the authors admits to having been friends with Jaclyn Smith for many years, and perhaps that is why the book is full of current quotes from Smith and Ladd, while anything from Jackson and Fawcett were lifted from previously published interviews printed while the show was still in production.Suspiciously, the story of how the network wanted to fire Smith after the pilot episode (and Aaron Spelling's fight to keep her on) is missing.
Anyhow, the book is still an interesting read, including the sections featuring Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts.There are also brief resumes done on everybody associated with the series in their respective chapters.Kudos to that!

The second part of the book is an episode guide followed by commentary featuring small trivia and tidbits.The description of the episodes read more like an extended description you'd see in TV guide: enough to set up the plot but leaving enough out to not give anything away.In this case, I think that was wrong and made this section a very boring read.The authors should have included full synopsis from each episode (from beginning to end) - there'd be no need to fear that they would be spoiling anything since anyone who buys a book like this would've seen all the episodes anyway.Still, the commentary is interesting, making notes of notable guests stars and small little tidbits that you never knew, like: only in ONE episode of the entire five year run did all three angels appear in bathing suits together in one shot.Now that's trivia for the thinking man.

The bottom line is that the book should probably be taken for the same amount of entertainment that the TV show should be taken as - some shallow storylines mixed with some really good ones making for some guilty pleasures.

Charlie's Angels Casebook
This is a great book. I'm a huge fan of the series and Farrah Fawcett. It's a great book for fans of the hit TV show,from the actresses profiles to the series episode guide and commentary. Great pictures too!

Once Upon A Time There Were 6 Angels And A Fan Who Knew Everything About Them
If you are a Charlies Angels fan, then this book is a must. It is full of everyhting you need to know about the show and the beautiful ladies that made the show a hit. Oh and let's not forget Bosley "David Doyle". I loved this show from the day it debuted til the last episode. I have also been a longtime pen pal to one of the authors Jack Condon Who I know for fact has met each one of the Angels personally and is friends with Jaclyn Smith. So I truly recommend this book to all Angels fans because, trust me Mr. Condon knows his Angels. ... Read more
