She survived 1970s Hollywood, three divorces and breast cancer with barely a stain. Now Jaclyn Smith has shared her surprising secret to staying young – the recovery of her own fat.
The actress, who looked just as dazzling as with her Charlie’s Angels debut in 1975, tells The Mail on Sunday’s You magazine today that she avoided using conventional cosmetic work for years in favor of her own bizarre to defy regime.
“I do not believe in fillers and I have not done any cutting work yet,” Jaclyn says of her minimal procedures. “When I put something in my face, I use my own fat, which is hard to do.”
Charlies Angel Jaclyn Smith (76) denies that he has any botox and says instead: ‘When I put something in my face, I use my own fat, which is hard to do’.
Now 76 and the boss of a multi-million-dollar skin care and clothing business she oversees from her hilltop home in Los Angeles, Jaclyn reveals she has always shied away from Botox. “I’m scared of it,” she says. ‘My husband says if you do Botox over and over, it causes the muscle to completely collapse. You can redo it in this town like no one else’s business. And when you’re done, it does not look good. ‘
Jaclyn, who was diagnosed with breast cancer 20 years ago after a routine mammogram showed a lump, received radiation treatment and received the result a few months later. Her experience has given her a new perspective on life, she says.
‘It’s part of my history and it changes you: [I realise] you have to seize the day, ‘she says. “And we need to be more grateful. Maybe we’re all complaining a little too much. ‘
Jaclyn now enjoys her role as a loving grandmother after emerging unscathed from the whirlwind fame of Charlie’s Angels and the hedonism of Hollywood in the 1970s.
Her fourth and current husband is heart surgeon Brad Allen, 67, whom she met when he operated on her father 30 years ago. They dated several years before they got married in 1997, she says.
By the time Charlie’s Angels finished his five-year run in 1981, Jaclyn had divorced her first two husbands, both actors.
“I don’t even count those first two as marriages,” she says.

She managed it almost the third time, she says, when she married British cinematographer Tony Richmond, the father of her two children, they are Gaston and daughter Spencer. They divorced over his drinking, but remain friends.

The actress says she went to the parties but never lowered her hats. “Some of it went against my education. I had never heard a four-letter word when I was growing up. I’ve never seen a drug, ‘she says.
‘I never walked with that crowd. I took a detour. I’ve never been addicted to drugs. ‘
