The trio walked out to a standing ovation. Before presenting the best drama Emmy to “The Pitt,” Smith honored Farrah Fawcett. “As I said many times, she’s here and she’s here with us in everyone’s collective memory.”
Jackson said Fawcett “was the shiniest angel of all, and she was loved by millions of people all over the world. And she still is today. And they’ll never forget her and neither will we. And I’m sure you won’t either.”
Before returning to the Emmys, the trio got together earlier this year to celebrate the show’s landmark anniversary at a PaleyFest panel in Hollywood where they reminisced on their time on screen together. Jackson shared the story of how “Charlie’s Angels” came to be: She was starring on a show called “The Rookies” and as it was winding down, executive producer Leonard Goldberg brought her a project titled “Alley Cats,” about three women who were private investigators but also wore whips and chains.
The 2026 Emmy Awards are presented by Mariska Hargitay, who took home two awards last weekend for her documentary “My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay.”
