My Take
Kate Jackson is one of those actresses who never quite gets the credit she deserves, and that genuinely bugs me. Sure, everyone remembers Charlie's Angels, but she was the brains of that trio — Sabrina Duncan was the sharp, level-headed one, and Jackson played her with a quiet authority that the show desperately needed. She was actually offered the lead in Kramer vs. Kramer and had to pass due to scheduling conflicts, which is the kind of footnote that should come with a small moment of silence. Then she turned around and anchored Scarecrow and Mrs. King for four seasons with real charm and comic timing. A University of Mississippi grad from Birmingham who carved out a serious television career on her own terms — there's a steeliness there that I find genuinely admirable.
