[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 168528, member: 746"] I imagine Nolan Miller was as skilled at tact and diplomacy as he was at fashion or else he would not have had such a long career yet when asked about Kate Jackson, he didn't hold back. Miller said Jackson was an unprofessional, temperamental diva (I'm not quoting him, but that's the gist of it). I understand many in Hollywood shared this opinion. Yes, as bizarre as it sounds the producers actually thought casting the model featured in the ads for "Charlie" perfume would be a good way to generate publicity for the series (as if it suffered from lack of publicity). I understand their desire to find someone to replace Kate Jackson as "the smart angel" but wouldn't acting ability be a prerequisite? Hack was supposedly so bad at simple line-readings that they gave many of her lines to Jaclyn Smith instead. Despite this, Martin Scorsese cast her in "The King of Comedy". I enjoyed her in "Vanities" (a stage play aired on HBO) and "Jack and Mike". I find it ironic that someone not up to the task of acting on "Charlie's Angels" is, in real life, extremely intelligent and accomplished. [/QUOTE]
