Charlie's Angels Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another (last one) photo of my short series inspired by famous American movies or songs. This time, three busy women on the streets of Los Angeles reminded me three brave co-workes of mysteroius Charlie, walking on these streets thirty years ago. It seems even a brave agent must do so me shopping from time to time:)).
To remind for younger TE-members (from Wiki): Charlie's Angels is a television series about three women who work for a private investigation agency, and is one of the first shows to showcase women in roles traditionally reserved for men. The series was broadcast on the ABC Television Network from 1976 to 1981 and was one of the most successful series of the 1970s. Charlie's Angels was created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts and produced by Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg.

Three women, the Angels, (originally Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and Jaclyn Smith) graduated from the police academy and were hired to work for the Charles Townsend Agency as private investigators. Their boss, Charlie is never seen full face — in some episodes he is shown from the rear only (where the viewer only sees the back of his head and his arms) — assigning cases to the Angels and his liaison, Bosley (played by David Doyle), via a speaker phone.

Charlie's Angels is episodic in nature, as opposed to serial, thus each episode shows the Angels finding themselves in new situations in which they would go undercover to investigate. The undercover aspect of the show creates much of the plot interest and tension. In the early seasons of the show, the Angels, under their assumed identities, use a combination of sexual wiles and knowledge learned for the situation in which they are being placed, but by the third and fourth seasons, the writing has a tendency to stray from the sex appeal and focus more on the case at hand.

Ciao Malgorzata,
sicuramente le tre Charlie's Angels erano un pò diverse...
bellissimo questo trilpo ritratto e giusto l'uso del bianco e nero.

Hi Malgorzata. Yes I remember the TV show, it would probably seem corny now though. Good photo. Strong composition with the diagonal arrangement of the women and good use of BW. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Ciao Malgorzata,

I never saw the TV series you mention, but I can appreciate as well this fine street scene photo. Three women in a row with the eyebrows contracted for the strong sunshine. They are undoubtly of Mexican origin, and that reminds me that in some cities of California Spanish is more spoken than English.
All the best,
Donato

Bonjour Malgorzata
la photo est réussie, le n&b va bien et la lumière est belle. Mais ce que je préfère je crois, c'est le titre que tu as trouvé ;o)
Bravo.
