Kate Jackson -- one of the original stars of "Charlie's Angels" -- just settled up a lawsuit with a business manager she claimed drained her account of $3,000,000, TMZ has learned.

Jackson claimed she was in "financial ruin" after Richard B. Francis misinformed her about the value of her estate and then pressured her to buy a home she couldn't afford.

Re: Kate "Jackson Hole, Wyoming."

Means nothing, but that's how I referred to her when Charlie's Angels was on tv.

What does Kate Jackson now look like? Jacklyn Smith has aged very nicely.

Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I’ve seen so many horror stories of rich people getting ripped off by financial advisors, I think that if I had that kind of money, I’d hire an advisor to give me day-to-day advice, and then pay some big financial house (like Fidelity) to look over my books on a regular basis and just flag me if anything looked funny. I can’t imagine that level of oversight would cost too much and it could prevent somebody from milking me like a cow.

Personal responsibility anyone?

That 2006 photo can’t be right. She appeared in a Criminal Minds episode (or two) in the last few years, and looked somewhat older than that 1998 photo. Face far more lined and drawn.

Yes, thanks,I forgot about that. I think she probably had more acting talent than the other two.

That was a very popular show that I think ran longer than Angels.

Fortunately, Kate has been reincarnated in the stunningly beautiful Mexican actress and telenovela star Elizabeth Gutierrez!

I believe Ms. Jackson is a breast cancer survivor. I have seen photos of her (last couple of years) and she looks aged appropriate—great (not overly stretched and oddly Botox immobilized).

I thought the same thing. I know a girl whose husband was a rich lawyer. He paid for big things, eg, home, car, in cash, and called it f.u. money, (I leave it to the reader to understand the meaning of *f.u.)

He got better deals that way and owed nothing afterwards. Not everyone can do this, admittedly.

However Jackson had better opportunities than most. She also had a sizeable income I’m sure. She could’ve done better I’m sure.

Lived it up and not wanting to live it down.

Both shows lasted five seasons but Kate left Charlie’s Angels after it’s their third season (and the ratings went downhill afterwards), so she was Mrs. King longer than she was an Angel.

I took it that he was convincing her that she had more $$$ than she had and needed a write-off. It's common that people are told by their accountants that they need to buy a bigger house.

I think it's responsible to hire somebody when you know you aren't qualified to manage large sums of money.

I've never had that problem...having large sums of money! LOL!
