The true story behind one of the most popular television shows of the 1970s is dramatized in this made-for-TV
comedy drama. In 1975, television producer
Aaron Spelling (
Dan Castellaneta) was looking for a new hit, and he thought he might have one in a script about three beautiful female police officers who become private detectives working for a mysterious man named
Charlie. While the show began life as
The Alley Cats, in time
Spelling and his crew changed it to
Charlie's Angels, and once they cast
Farrah Fawcett-Majors (
Tricia Helfer),
Kate Jackson (
Lauren Stamile), and
Jaclyn Smith (
Christina Chambers), they soon had a show that would give birth to a new genre -- "jiggle television" -- and become a worldwide phenomenon.
Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels also features
Ben Browder as
Lee Majors,
Dan Lauria as
ABC head
Fred Silverman, and
Chelsea Watson as
Cheryl Ladd.
