Jill Munroe



Jill Munroe is a fictional character, played by Farrah Fawcett in the first season of Charlie's Angels (1976–1977).

Jill is the sporty and athletic angel, and is seen coaching a kids' basketball team, playing tennis, swimming, bowling, skateboarding, and rollerskating on the show. Not just a tomboy, she also frequents the model-type covers, once as a playmate centerfold. She drives a white Cobra II with blue racing stripes and lives in a house on the beach.

Shown in the series's opening credits at a police station desk job, the premise of the series was that the Angels jumped at the chance to have more exciting work in the field as undercover detectives. After the first year, she leaves the Townsend agency for an even more adrenaline-charged pursuit, to be a racecar driver. Her little sister Kris (played by Cheryl Ladd) takes her place for the remaining four seasons. Even though Fawcett appeared as a regular only during the first season, her presence was so powerful that Jill Monroe is often thought of as a fan favorite.
