Real name Kelly Garrett
Kelly Garrett is one of six female fictional private detectives in the 1976–1981 television series Charlie's Angels. She was portrayed by Jaclyn Smith, who also portrayed the character in the 1977 pilot episode of The San Pedro Beach Bums and reprised the role in a cameo in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. She is the only Angel who stayed with the Townsend Agency for the show's entire five-season run (and other than John Bosley, the only character to take part in every episode). Uncommonly beautiful but not uniquely so, Smith's image is provided as evidence of Kelly's doppelgänger, not once but twice (seasons one and four).
Kelly Garrett is an orphan and the most sensitive of the three Angels. Kelly spent her personal time helping disadvantaged children. She volunteered at a center for autistic children, and when she found out that a single parent police officer she was working with physically abused his son, she took him to court and convinced him that he needed counseling. However, she is also the street-wise and tough Angel, and miraculously survives countless car chases, kidnappings, chloroformings, explosions, hostage situations, murderous post-hypnotic suggestion, unwitting heroin addiction, and two separate incidents of a gunshot to the head.
Most of the Angels found themselves romantically involved at one time or another with someone they encountered on the job, but Kelly is the only Angel depicted having a serious romance with someone she did not meet while working on a case. In the first season, Kelly considerately, if dishonestly, breaks up with her boyfriend (played by Tom Selleck), when she fears the hit man making attempts on her life will put him in jeopardy.
While it is Jill who gets tapped to go undercover as a dance instructor in Season One, Kelly's talents in that area flourish in her absence, as she attempts to teach Sabrina how to hula, performs in an arena ice dancing spectacular with Kris, belly dances in a hookah bar, appears in a dance performance in a Las Vegas casino, and stars in a prospective Broadway-style song-and-dance revue.,
Kelly Garrett is an expert in the martial arts including Karate and Judo.Though she often operates under the guise of dancer or model, Kelly's specialty cover consists of a Southern accent and, sometimes, glasses. Still, she is the only Angel to have passed herself off as a being from another galaxy. In actuality, her extraterrestrial exploits are limited to jumping a motorcycle from one ramp to another as a carnival performer, jerry-rigging a sabotaged seatbelt to avoid falling from a biplane during aerial acrobatics, safely landing a passenger jet, and along with Kris, introduces Tiffany to such California lifestyles as surfing and roller skating. She drives a beige Mustang (which gets blown up, twice). In one episode, she successfully delivers a baby, but when later asked how many she had delivered previously, she mentions that she had only seen it on television.
Smith returns briefly to the role of Kelly in the spin-off film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, when current Angel Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore), contemplating leaving the agency, meets Kelly in a bar. When Dylan reflects that she was a poor Angel due to her criminal past—it was recently revealed that she was in the Witness Protection Program for testifying against her then-boyfriend—Kelly reminds her that every Angel is unique, and assures her that Charlie selected her to become an Angel for a reason. It is implied that this visit from Kelly may have been spiritual rather than literal; throughout her conversation with Dylan she is illuminated by a soft beam of sunlight, and she vanishes after Dylan turns away for a few moments.

After rescuing U.S. Marshal Ray Carter (Robert Patrick) in Mongolia, the Angels, Dylan (Drew Barrymore), Natalie (Cameron Diaz), and Alex (Lucy Liu) are hired to locate a set of titanium rings called H.A.L.O. (Hidden Alias List Operation) stolen from the Department of Justice that, when put together in a machine, will display a list of all individuals in the witness protection program. Many people, including Justice Department official William Rose Bailey (Bruce Willis), who possessed one of the rings, were murdered in the process. Having discovered that one of the protected witnesses, Alan Caulfield (Eric Bogosian), was murdered in his house in San Bernardino, the Angels investigate the scene and discover evidence suggesting that Caulfield was smothered with a bag and the killer is a surfer with a scar on his left leg. Meanwhile, Natalie and her now boyfriend Peter Kominsky (Luke Wilson) are moving in together, with some help from Alex's boyfriend Jason Gibbons (Matt LeBlanc), whose relationship with Alex is on a "time out".
