Jaclyn Smith, 79, stuns in a white suit as she joins fellow 80s icons Morgan Fairchild, Dyan Cannon and Alana Stewart while hosting starry LA dinner

reunited with her fellow 80s Hollywood icons Morgan Fairchild, Dyan Cannon and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin while hosting a star-studded dinner in Los Angeles. The Charlie's Angels star, 79, and Patrick Foley both played host to some of Hollywood most recognisable 80s sex symbols for the glitzy meal at Hotel Bel-Air. For the occasion, Jaclyn cut a sophisticated figure in a fitted white suit, made up of tailored trousers and a blazer with padded shoulders. She styled her chic ensemble with a striped grey shirt and added to her frame with a pair of pointed heels, while she toted her essentials in a coordinated handbag. Jaclyn, best known for playing Kelly Garrett in the Charlie's Angels TV series for its complete five-year run, added to her features with a blush make-up palette. She posed alongside model Alana Stewart, 80, who coordinated in a sheer white gown with a tiered skirt which showed off her incredible figure. Alana, who was married to Rod Stewart from 1979 to 1984, showed off her ageless features as she beamed for the cameras alongside Jaclyn. Mork & Mindy star Morgan, 75, also milled around the star-studded event and cut a vibrant figure in a purple patterned blazer and matching lilac trousers. She posed alongside Cary Grant's ex-wife Dyan, 88, who looked effortlessly stylish in a black turtleneck and beige drawstring trousers. Also in attendance were the likes of Blake Runner 2049 star Cynthia Sikes Yorkin, Ann Turkel - the former model and ex-wife of Richard Harris - and Rich Man, Poor Man star Susan Blakely. Jaclyn hosted the star-studded alfresco meal with theatre and film star Patrick and in collaboration with Sisley Paris. Jaclyn famously starred alongside Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson in the Charlie's Angels TV series, and recently insisted their was no drama between the trio. 'It was just girls having fun. We were like college roommates. Just independent women, making our way,' she told People in October. 'We crossed that bridge and it changed our lives. There was no walking into a grocery store in an anonymous way anymore and so, for all three of us, there was a special bond.' Tracey E. Bregman - famed for starring in The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and the Beautiful - cut a trendy figure in a leather-look co-ord set Farrah devastatingly died on June 25, 2009 at age 62 after a long, painful battle with cancer, while Jaclyn remains very close with Kate. 'She was a true girlfriend,' she said of Farrah. 'Not a competitive girlfriend, she wished everybody well.' In more recent months, she was caught up in the devastating Los Angeles fires, which saw many people - including a long list of Hollywood stars - lose their homes. The Rage Of Angels actress fled to Santa Barbara, California, in January after leaving her $20million Beverly Hills mansion and posted about the devastation at the time. '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,' she wrote. 'Despite this unimaginable tragedy, what remains is resilience, and the unwavering resolve of the human spirit.' It is not known exactly where Jaclyn lives in Beverly Hills, but more than 80,000 people were displaced in the fires including stars Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, Anna Faris and Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, among many others. Jaclyn was seen keeping her make-up perfect as she touched up her lipstick with a helping hand from Susan

Jon Hamm reveals his 'gorgeous' childhood celebrity crush

Jon Hamm had a childhood crush on Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett. The 51-year-old actor has admitted he took a fancy to the two Charlie's Angels stars when he was younger, and he couldn't resist approaching Jaclyn when they were at an event together. Asked who he had a crush on growing up, he told W Magazine: "Farrah Fawcett from Charlie's Angels. Actually, Jaclyn Smith was my favorite Angel. "I met her about five years ago, and I did the thing that I hate when people do — I came up to her and said, 'I have to say hello. I'm sorry.' "She couldn't have been more pleasant, and she couldn't have been more gorgeous." Despite the Mad Men star being a big name in his own right, he admitted he still gets starstruck meeting other celebrities. He added: "For sure. Jeff Bridges, most recently. I got to work with him in 2018 on Bad Times at the El Royale. "It was a bucket list moment for me. I had been a fan of his since I was a kid. "Everybody loves him as the Dude, but I just remember seeing him and another crush of mine, Cybill Shepherd, in The Last Picture Show. That's one of my favorite movies of all time." Meanwhile, Jon opened up on the admiration he has for reality TV stars, noting that his wife has got him into the Real Housewives franchise. He said: "My wife turned me on to a lot of these shows, and now I've befriended Andy Cohen, and I get it. "Beverly Hills, New Jersey, New York — I'll sit there and I will watch it with glee. "Are they bad actors? I wouldn't want to see them in a fictional thing, but they're good at being themselves on those shows." And Jon insisted he would never want to swap his life as an actor to simply be himself on screen in that way. He added: "I can't imagine what that must be like. I wouldn't trade places with them for all the money in the world."

EXCLUSIVE Playboy vet with an illustrious screen career steps out for rare outing in LA... can you guess who?

A former Playboy magazine star stepped out for a rare outing in Los Angeles over the past weekend. The actress has worked alongside a number of celebrities throughout her decades-long career such as Farrah Fawcett, Donald Sutherland, Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and John Belushi. The beauty began making appearances on the screen in the 70s and took on both minor and larger roles in shows such as Fantasy Island and Taxi. The star is also known for her role in a major soap opera series. Along with working in the entertainment industry, she additionally dabbled in the world of real estate beginning in the 90s. Can you guess who it is? It is Martha Smith, 72 - who notably became Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month back in July 1973. She is also known for making appearances in films such as Animal House (1978) and shows including Charlie's Angels and The Dukes Of Hazzard. The actress was spotted for an outing in L.A. over the past weekend on Sunday, June 8 and was stylishly causal in a pair of black pants as well as a dark green shirt. Smith's blonde locks were parted in the middle and flowed down past her shoulders in light waves, allowing her bangs to fall onto her forehead. Martha accessorized the outfit with an assortment of necklaces and sported a pair of black fashionable shades. The star easily carried a large, black Kate Spade bag in her hand to hold items she needed during the daytime excursion. Smith was born in October 1952 in Cleveland, Ohio and later graduated from Michigan State University. And in July 1973, she became Playmate of the Month at the age of 20 - and her centerfold had been photographed by Pompeo Posar. She is also known for making appearances in films such as Animal House (1978) and shows including Charlie's Angels and The Dukes Of Hazzard At the time, she opened up to Playboy magazine about her dreams of a career in filmmaking. 'I've talked to a lot of people, and they all give me different advice,' she stated at the time. 'My dream is to do it all, write the script, direct, be totally involved with the production of a film. 'That's a very large dream, I know, but I want to do it anyway. For now, I'm writing script outlines and, with a few friends, shooting some small productions around Detroit.' A few years later, Smith took on a minor role in the 1976 project The Winds Of Autumn - which also kicked off her professional acting career, per IMDB. She then made one episode appearances in shows such as Quincy, M.E., Charlie's Angels and How The West Was Won. In 1978, she portrayed the character of Babs Jansen in Nation Lampoon's Animal House alongside John Belushi, Tim Matheson, John Vernon and Verna Bloom. During a past interview with Martha reflected on landing the role in the John Landis-directed movie. She revealed that she had initially auditioned to be cast in the soap opera General Hospital - but had forgotten her lines which left her 'devastated.' However, she then landed a role in Animal House, which also happened to be her first major film. 'I had done only commercials and some small fly-by parts on television shows; the girl in a bikini who was killed after one or two scenes.' Smith continued, 'I was chloroformed, stabbed, shot, strangled, and beaten in the space of a few short years ... My mother grew increasingly concerned that this profession was damaging to my well-being.' Director Landis worked on a variety of projects aside from Animal House such as The Blues Brothers (1980), Trading Places (1983) and Coming To America (1988). When it came to working with Landis, Martha expressed, 'He would send these old classic movies postcards to us in the motel mailboxes that announced "We are making a classic movie!" and the like. 'Very exaggerated, or so it seemed at the time. He turned out to be right. I was impressed with his infectious enthusiasm as a director.' The actress added, 'There was no slacking on a Landis set. It didn't make sense - he kept the energy levels one decibel beneath frenetic all the time. 'The pacing that made the comedy bits bounce off the screen can largely be attributed to John's timing and high energy levels.' And throughout the 80s and 90s, she continued to star in projects including Fantasy Island and Blood Link. In 1982, Smith was cast as Dr. Sandy Horton in Days Of Our Lives - and played the role throughout 38 episodes. From 1983 through 1987, she portrayed the character of Francine Desmond in the CBS show Scarecrow And Mrs. King. Martha's last credit was the 2018 movie A Futile And Stupid Gesture.
