Did 'Charlie's Angels' notable Jaclyn Smith say no to Bond girl character part?
Jaclyn Smith has revealed she passed on the chance to play a Bond girl in the 1979 feature Moonraker, and the reason comes down to her Houston roots and a sense of loyalty that proved stronger than any Hollywood opportunity.
The Charlie's Angels notable, 80, made the disclosure at PaleyFest's Charlie's Angels 50th anniversary reunion, explaining that she was under contract at the time and felt honour-bound to see it through.
"I had a contract [for Charlie's Angels ] and, you know, Houston upbringing, you follow your contract," she said.
"And Aaron [Spelling] was the first to invite me to the party, so I was honoring my contract."
The character part of Dr Holly Goodhead in the Roger Moore Bond feature ultimately went to Lois Chiles.
