Kathie Lee Gifford dishes about casting agent who told her she wasn't pretty enough for main role on 1970s TV series Charlie's Angels.
Kathie Lee Gifford is hoping to inspire people to remember their self-worth and never give up on dreams with her new book, I Want To Matter: Your Life Is Too Short And Too Precious To Waste.
'She goes,"Let me tell you right now, you're not right for Charlie's Angels,"' she recalled of the startling moment the woman told her she wasn't good enough within seconds of meeting her. 'I started to think it was funny. I really did,' she said. 'And as I'm walking out, I looked at her and I said,"Okay, well, thank you so much."'
'I started to see, first of all, what a b**** she was. What an unnecessary b**** she was,' she said of the woman, whom she still remembers by name to this day. The role for a replacement for Kate Jackson ultimately went to Shelley Hack, though she was subsequently replaced by Tonya Roberts after one season due to another drop in the ratings after an initial spike.
With I Want To Matter: Your Life Is Too Short And Too Precious To Waste, Gifford is on a mission to remind people of what's important in their lives.
