Smith was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002. She underwent a lumpectomy and radiation, and is also cancer-free. Meanwhile, Ladd announced both announced her secret breast cancer battle and that she is now cancer-free in April 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe first thing I did was send her my wigs,\u201d Smith said of supporting Ladd after her diagnosis, during the 50th anniversary celebration of <em>Charlie\u2019s Angels<\/em> at PaleyFest, per <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/tv\/2026\/04\/07\/cheryl-ladd-breast-cancer-battle-charlies-angels-50th-event\/89495464007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:USA Today;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">USA Today<\/a>. \u201cShe was so brave.

Jaclyn would be like, \u2018Oh! I have a new one. I\u2019m going to send it to you,\u201d she recalled. \u201cYou want a short one first? Then [a longer one] as your hair grows out?\u2019 She was just amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Additionally, Smith was \u201cright there when Kate went into the operating room and right there when she came out\u201d during Jackson\u2019s breast cancer battle. Jackson returned the favor when Smith was diagnosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tragically, Fawcett died in 2009 after a battle with anal cancer. She was first diagnosed in 2006, but then declared cancer-free in 2007 after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy.
