When 'Charlie's Angels' eventually ended, Smith was finally free to evaluate what she wanted to do with the rest of her career. As with her former co-stars, she tried her hand at movies, with appearances in 1980's 'Nightkill' and 1985's 'Deja Vu.' Her true passion also started to become clear in the 80s though, as she spent time away from acting to begin developing her own clothing and perfume ranges.
Although it's almost expected that major stars will launch their own product ranges in the modern era, it was unheard of them. Celebrities may have endorsed products, but they never released their own. Smith started the trend, and whether you want to condemn or applaud her for that is up to you! When 'Charlie's Angels' returned to the big screen with a new cast in 2003, Smith was the only 'original' performer to reprise her role, appearing in a cameo. Now in her mid-70s, she last appeared on screen in two episodes of 'CSI' in 2012 and may consider herself to be retired.
