Kate Jackson Biography

The elegant, yet feisty Kate Jackson was born on 29 October 1948 in Birmingham, Alabama to Hogan and Ruth Jackson. After high school she studied drama at the University of Mississippi and at Birmingham Southern University, after which she did summer stock at the Stowe Playhouse in Vermont.

Following that she studied at New York's Academy of Dramatic Arts while she earned a living selling skis, modeling, (she claims modeling is "the hardest work in the world"), and working as a tour guide at NBC.

She landed a role in the Soap Opera Dark Shadows, playing a ghost, and she recreated the same role in the feature film based on the series - but it did nothing for her career.(Good Housekeeping, 1985)

So she headed west to Hollywood. There she landed the part of Nurse Jill Danko on "The Rookies" (By prolific producer Aaron Spelling)

Later Mr. Spelling handpicked Kate to star in "Charlie's Angels"(kate's run was from 1976-1979).

Some feature films followed, most notably, "Making Love". Kate went on to star in two other series; "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" (1983-1987) and "Baby Boom" (1988).

Kate married actor Andrew Stevens in 1978. They divorced after a few years. She met and married David Greenwald, who incidentally ran her Production Company. Tom Hart was her last husband, both marriages ended in divorce as well.

In between all of this she battled and won against breast cancer, had open heart surgery starred in countless tv-movies and adopted a son. She is still acting today and going strong. She is as talented and beautiful as ever!
