Catherine Elise Jackson (born October 29, 1948 in Birmingham, Alabama) is a Golden Globe-nominated American actress, known primarily for her role as Sabrina Duncan in the 1970s television series Charlie's Angels. Her other notable roles include Sam Melville's wife, Jill Danko, in the 1970s crime drama, The Rookies, and as Bruce Boxleitner's partner, Amanda King, in the 1980s drama, Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

Jackson attended the University of Mississippi, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa G... ... (read more...) amma sorority, but did not graduate.

She moved to New York and played a year-long role in the soap opera Dark Shadows in 1970 as Daphne Harridge and, from 1972 to 1976, co-starred as Jill Danko in The Rookies. From 1976 to 1979, she played the role of Sabrina 'Bri' Duncan in Charlie's Angels.

Jackson was usually considered the best of the three original lead actresses, as she was the most experienced. In 1982, she starred opposite Michael Ontkean and Harry Hamlin in the feature film Making Love, a movie considered to be ahead of its time by sensitively handling the issue of homosexuality.

From 1983 to 1987, Jackson co-starred in the TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King with Bruce Boxleitner, in which she depicted a suburban mother who became involved with a CIA-like Agency. After Scarecrow and Mrs. King, in 1988, Jackson played the main role in Baby Boom, a TV sitcom version of the original movie starring Diane Keaton, but it only lasted one season. In 1989, she starred in the film Loverboy playing Patrick Dempsey's mother.

Since then, Jackson has starred in many TV movies and has made numerous guest appareances on TV.
