You'd think Joan Collins being the diva of all divas of 1980s primetime soaps would be jealous of an actress brought on to be her rival but from what I've seen online, Joan and Diahann got along and became friends and remained so until Diahann passed away and Joan posted a memoriam to Diahann on social media.

I think that's because Joan Collins knew Diahann Carroll was no threat to her, and vice-versa. Joan and Diahann appeal mostly to two different demographics, with gay men being the overlapping circle in the Venn diagram.

I think Joan was savvy enough to know all the publicity around a new rival for Alexis was good for the show and that the writers wouldn't downgrade her character. It was good to have someone new to play off as the Alexis/Krystal/Blake shtick had grown tired.

You know that Jaclyn will be seated in the middle between the two.....LOL I hope Kate is in a good mood that day and Cheryl doesn't do or say anything that pisses her off.

Kate and Cheryl did "Satan's School For Girls" together for Spelling in 1973. I often wonder is something happened on set there between the two that carried over to Charlie's Angels ? There's a 1977 Mike Douglas show on youtube where He visits the set to meet the newest angel. Kate sits in on Jaclyn's interview then leaves before Cheryl come in. It's awkward.

When I came across this promo of the three, I instantly thought of the comments above. 🤭😉

🤣Jaclyn in the center as I expected. I pulled up a clip of them with Maria Shriver today and Kate briefly touched on Cheryl coming in as a smooth transition. I would love to see the Paley ceremony and see how they interact.

Maybe Kate's chilled a bit now that Farrah's gone?

I saw an article today where Cheryl Ladd revealed that she'd had aggressive breast cancer (in a sign of how ridiculous things are getting, the article put b------ instead of breast) and Jaclyn and Kate, who also both had breast cancer (Kate twice) had both supported her. (Jaclyn even sent Cheryl her old wigs)

Old wigs!? 🤪 But seriously, nice to hear them get along.

Reading what I wrote again I forgot that Jaclyn has a wig line, although the image of her just sending Cheryl the wigs she wore is funnier to me.

Guess Jaclyn had a warehouse full of wigs and thought she'd offload them on Cheryl.

Interesting that neither Jaclyn or Cheryl turned up on Dynasty or The Colbys. Did either of them do Hotel?

Jaclyn, Shelley and Tanya did Love Boat. Tanya also did Vega$ and Fantasy Island.

I'm surprised none of them turned up on his 90s shows since he did love casting veterans in "parents" roles. Maybe they were offered but not interested - seems to me the OG trio and Cheryl were done with doing Spelling productions post-Charlie's Angels.

I think they both had big enough careers in that period to not need to do the shows.

I am more surprised Cheryl at least never popped up later, on '90s Spelling, but maybe she had enough money to not need the work.
