Charlie’s Angels star Kate Jackson recently made a blunt confession about leaving Hollywood to become a full-time mom.
In early April, Jackson participated in a panel with her Charlie’s Angels costars, Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith, in honor of the show’s 50th anniversary at PaleyFest LA. She opened up about choosing to step away from acting to focus on her son, Charles, and ultimately moving to a farm in Virginia.
