Jaclyn Smith knew she looked good — but the star did have a secret behind these celestial features.
The "Charlie's Angel" alumnus posted a photo of himself hugging his son, Gaston Richmond, in December, which went viral. Many of her followers point out that the 76-year-old looks younger than the 39-year-old.
"I'll tell you, it's a good picture," the actress admitted on page six on Thursday.
"The right place, the right time," she shared. "That's the luck of the draw. The lighting was good. I was with someone I adored my son and it was a parting party, so my eyes might be there with tears and sparkles because he was one of the humans I adored. ”

Smith said that while she was flattered by the compliments, the photo had a deeper meaning for her.
"I like what this picture says to me," she explains. "It says I'm the luckiest woman in the world, with a son like him. As we know in the photos, they reflect what's going on inside of you, and that picture reflects every emotion I had at the time. ”
Smith noted that fans still remember her best in playing Kelly Garrett in the hit series that aired from 1976 to 1981.
"It was a more innocent time, and the looks weren't as good at the time," Smith reflected. "It's not a haircut; it's, 'This is us.'" I like that not everything is retouched. There is privacy and mystery. Everything is public today, everyone knows, and today is in your face. Fashion is feminine. It's sexy. It's not the sexiness on your face. There is an improvement on it. ”

These days, Smith has been busy spending time with her family, especially doting on her two grandchildren.
"It's the best thing in my life," Smith said. "I'll steal them if I can." It's hard to explain to grandchildren. It's like you need an extra atrium. In many ways, because you're beyond yourself, which gives you a reason, it's no longer just about you. You know you' I'll give everything for them. ”
Back in 2018, Smith told Fox News that she still remembers the time when "Charlie's Angel" was filmed.
"We laughed, we laughed a lot," Smith said at the time. "Angels chained together. Have lunch together. It's an education that's an eye-opener because every girl has her own unique personality and style. These are my friends today. That bond is something I really remember. ”

"Friendship is something I cherish from it," she shared. "Friendship. Aaron Spelling is very precious to me. He's the one I miss. He is my personal friend and the producer and creator of the show. We have lost some people. John Forsythe, what a gentleman. David Doyle. And of course Farrah [Fawcett]. In retrospect, it was bittersweet.
