Kate
Jackson aka
Sabrina Duncan
After getting
bitten by the acting bug, Kate moved to New York City from her
home town of Birmingham, Alabama. While in New York, she
enrolled into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Kate's
big break came when she played a "ghost" in the
daytime drama, Dark Shadows. After three months on Dark
Shadows she had guest roles in TV's Bonanza and a
semi-regular on NBC's short-lived series The Jimmy Stewart
Show. Then she hit the big time with a role on the crime
show, The Rookies. Kate played nurse Jill Danko for
producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg. The producers
decided after The Rookies ended that she was strong
enough for her own series. The producers and Kate created the
skeleton shell for a series called Charlie's Angels.
Kate was to become known around the world as Sabrina Ducan,
the "smart" Angel. After a very successful
three-year run, Kate decided to leave the series after the
producers did not allow her out of her "Angel"
contact to film Kramer vs. Kramer. After Charlie's
Angels,, Kate tried her hand at comedy in the television
remake of Topper (starring with first husband Andrew
Stevens) and hit the big screen with the cutting edge film Making
Love, about a man and his struggle with homosexuality. As
her film career was blossoming, Kate was offered a new series
for television called Scarecrow and Mrs. King. She fell
in love with the character of Mrs. King (a mother of two boys
who worked as a Secret Agent) and took on the series. Scarecrow
became an huge hit. After four years, Scarecrow left
the air, and Kate again returned to television in Baby Boom,
which was based on the hit film. The series did not have the
same pull as the film and quickly ended.
The hardest
role Kate had to play was her personal battle with breast
cancer in 1987 and in 1989. She shared her experience with the
world to show other women the importance of mammograms and
cancer prevention. In September 1995, Kate was given her
greatest challenge, the adoption of her first child, Charles
Taylor Jackson. She has said being a mother is her greatest
role. Kate has settled into motherhood and has found herself
once again in front of the camera. In 1996 she was seen in The
Family Channel's Panic in the Skies, ABC's Gail
Sheehy's New Passages, and in 1997 CBS's film What
Happened to Bobby Earl? Angelic Heaven will
