Lucy Kate Jackson (born October 29, 1948) is an American actress, director and producer, known for her television roles as Sabrina Duncan in the 1970s series ''Charlie's Angels'' (1976–79) and Amanda King in the 1980s series ''Scarecrow and Mrs. King'' (1983–87). Her film roles include ''Making Love'' (1982) and ''Loverboy'' (1989). She is a three-time Emmy Award nominee and four-time Golden Globe Award nominee. Jackson began her career in the late 1960s in summer stock, before landing her first major television roles in ''Dark Shadows'' (1970–71) and ''The Rookies'' (1972-76). She also appeared in the film ''Night of Dark Shadows'' (1971). The huge success of her role as Sabrina Duncan saw her appear on the front cover of ''Time'' magazine, alongside co-stars Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith, while her role as Mrs. King won her Germany's Bravo Golden Otto Award for Best Female TV Star three times (1986–88). She went on to star in the short-lived television adaptation of the film ''Baby Boom'' (1988–89). She has continued to star in numerous TV movies, including ''Quiet Killer'' (1992), ''Empty Cradle'' (1993) and ''Satan's School for Girls'' (2000), a remake of the 1973 TV movie of the same name in which she also starred. ==Early life and career== Lucy Kate Jackson was born in Birmingham, Alabama, the daughter of Ruth (née Shepherd) and Hogan Jackson, a business executive. She attended The Brooke Hill School for Girls and then went on to the University of Mississippi, where she was a member of the Delta Rho chapter of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, but during her sophomore year at the University of Mississippi, she moved to New York City to study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Jackson worked as an NBC page at the network's Rockefeller Center studios and did summer stock at the Stowe Playhouse in Stowe, Vermont before landing a role as the mysterious, silent ghost Daphne Harridge on the 1960s supernatural daytime quasi-soap opera ''Dark Shadows''. In 1971, Jackson had a starring role as Tracy Collins in ''Night of Dark Shadows'', the second feature film based on the daytime serial. She was joined by her ''Dark Shadows'' castmates Lara Parker, David Selby, Grayson Hall, Nancy Barrett, John Karlen, and Thayer David. This movie was more loosely based on the series than ''House of Dark Shadows'' was, and it did not fare as well at the box office as the first film did.〔Scott, Kathryn Leigh and Pierson, Jim, editors. The Dark Shadows Movie Book. Pomegranate Press, Ltd., Los Angeles and London, 1998, pp. 23, 26〕 The same year, she worked with James Stewart in two episodes of the short-lived sitcom, ''The Jimmy Stewart Show''.〔("Full cast and crew for ''The Jimmy Stewart Show (1971)'' ) at IMDb〕 She then appeared as nurse Jill Danko, wife of a character played by Sam Melville, for four seasons on the 1970s crime drama ''The Rookies''. A supporting cast member, Jackson filled her free time by studying directing and editing.〔The Rookies ended when Kate's father died and she asked for time off to return to Alabama for her father's funeral and to spend some time with her family. Kate was denied and she walked off the set. Production for The Rookies ceased as well. Sorry, Kate. 〕 She also appeared in several TV films during this period. Jackson's performance was well received in the 1972 independent film ''Limbo'', one of the first theatrical films to address the Vietnam War and the wives of soldiers who were POWs, MIA or killed in action (KIA). She also appeared in an all-star ensemble cast in ''Death Scream'', a 1975 television dramatization of the circumstances surrounding a real-life 1964 murder as reported in a sensational article in the ''New York Times''. Jackson hosted the thirteenth episode of season four of "Saturday Night Live" which aired in February 1979. During her monologue, she referred to being an NBC page ten years earlier where she did tours of the studio.〔Saturday Night Live (season 4) "List of episodes, season 4, "Saturday Night Live" (1978-1979)" at Wikipedia〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kate Jackson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
