Farrah Fawcett - Charlie’s Angels
How she left: For someone whose superstar-level of fame is so inextricably tied to one series, it’s easy to forget that Farrah Fawcett only appeared on Charlie’s Angels for one season. Numerous reasons are given for her departure: the strain filming put on her marriage, her interest in capitalizing on her fame in the film world, disputes over money and royalties. After her exit, Fawcett’s character, Jill Munroe, was quickly replaced by her younger sister, Kris Munroe, played by Cheryl Ladd.
What happened next: Charlie’s Angels ran for five seasons, maintaining solid ratings even after Fawcett left. The series became a success in syndication, spawned a movie series, and will be re-booted on TV this fall. Fawcett never really left the spotlight after her departure from Angels, up until her death in 2009.
