The third season
began with the Angels tackling Las Vegas, as well as witnessing
former Angel, Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett), return to Charlie's
office. Farrah, who had left the series after the first year,
agreed to six more episodes- three during the 1978-1979 season
and three during the 1979-1980 season.
Fans were excited by Farrah's return, but so was the media,
which anxiously reported rumors that the set was full of tension.
However, the biggest bombshell landed when Kate Jackson
announced she was leaving the series at the end of the season.
During the hiatus of Angels, Kate was offered the lead role in Kramer
vs. Kramer. Unfortunately, she was not allowed out of her
"Angel" contract to film the movie. The role
eventually went to Meryl Streep, who then won an Academy Award
for her performance.
During the same season, Cheryl Ladd was able to return to her
first love, singing. She released her first LP entitled "Cheryl
Ladd" and secured a top 40 hit, "Think It Over".
Ironically, the final episode of the season was entitled "Angels
Remembered." The Angels sat around the office and
reminisced about their past cases together. And as they lifted
their champagne glasses for their final toast, it was to be the
last time that Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson) was to grace the
Townsend office as the Angels' official leader.
With the third season was in a bit of turmoil, the Angels kept
their heavenly faces on 100's of magazines. The toy production,
on the other hand, was beginning to come to a close. But the
biggest question on everyone's mind was, who was going to be
replacing Kate Jackson? The race to find Charlie's Newest Angel
had begun!
