(on surviving cancer)Kate Jackson: I knew I had two paths to choose from. I feel very lucky. As someone who has had cancer, I learned that you don't have to die. Look at me. Because of early detection, I'm fine. I'm cured. I'm well. All women should understand that a mammogram is nothing to be afraid of. It's not an enemy but a friend. Early detection is the key to the cure.
(on her former "Charlie's Angels" co-stars)Kate: Farrah and Jaclyn and I are still good friends who speak to each other as often as we can and see each other when we're all in town at the same time. We have a very strong bond of friendship from the first days of the series that I think will always stay with us. We all truly care about each other.
