"Good Morning, Angels..." Goodbye, Charlie


For the longest time, we all wondered who Charlie was... the identity of the actor who acted as the voice of Charlie on Charlie's Angels was supposed to be a secret.

His name is John Forsythe. He was a rare star and acted in many movies, his most famous, on Charlie's Angels.

E Online reported the actor died Thursday of pneumonia amid a yearlong battle with cancer, his family said. He was 92.

Forsythe's career endured for more than 50 years including his breakout acting in Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry.

E Online also reported that From 1976 to 1981, Forsythe phoned it in, in a good way, as Charlie Townsend, the no-profile, pool-lounging investigative agency owner on Charlie's Angels. The producer Aaron Spelling, asked his friend to handle the voice-only role in the pilot.
