In 1975, Jackson met with ''Rookies'' producers [[Aaron Spelling]] and [[Leonard Goldberg]] to discuss her contractual obligation to star in another television series for Spelling/Goldberg Productions upon that show's cancellation. Goldberg told her of a series that was available—because "every network has passed on it," ''The Alley Cats''. Spelling said that when he told Jackson the title of the series had to be changed and asked her what she would like to call it, she replied "Charlie's Angels," pointing to a picture of three female angels on the wall behind Spelling.<ref>[http://www.newsweek.com/id/88678 "Charlie's 'Alley Cats'?"] ''[[Newsweek]]'', June 27, 1999.</ref> Jackson was originally cast as Kelly Garrett (which ultimately went to her co-star [[Jaclyn Smith]]), but decided upon Sabrina Duncan instead.<ref name="metv" /> The huge success of the show saw Jackson, Smith and <!-- Then known as, -->[[Farrah Fawcett|Farrah Fawcett-Majors]] (who played Jill Munroe) appear on the front cover of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=
Jackson hosted the [[Saturday Night Live (season 4)|thirteenth episode of season four]] of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' which aired in February 1979.

Jackson starred alongside [[Harry Hamlin]] and her ''Rookies'' co-star [[Michael Ontkean]] in the feature film ''[[Making Love]]'' (1982), directed by [[Arthur Hiller]]. It was a film some considered to be ahead of its time, and attempted to deal sensitively with the topic of homosexuality. However, it received tepid reviews and did poorly at the box office.<ref>{{cite news| access-date=November 7, 2011| title=Getting Beyond the Gay Ghetto With Gay Films| newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/21/movies/getting-beyond-the-gay-ghetto-with-gay-films.html?scp=2&sq=%22making%20love%22%20kate%20jackson&st=cse| first=Howard| last=Feinstein| date=August 21, 1994}}</ref>

The couple divorced in 1981. After her divorce from Stevens, Jackson said, "I felt as if my ex-husband drove up to my bank account with a [[Brink's]] truck." Jackson was then linked with actor Gary Pendergast and screenwriter [[Tom Mankiewicz]]. She married New York businessman David Greenwald in 1982, and they formed 'Shoot The Moon Productions' together, the company that produced Jackson's series ''Scarecrow and Mrs. King''.<ref name="Ledger 1984">{{cite news| title=It's back to bi-coastal marriage for Kate Jackson and husband| url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19840307&id=5tsvAAAAIBAJ&pg=6807,2158969| newspaper=[[The Ledger]]| location=[[Lakeland, Florida]]| date=March 7, 1984| page=2| access-date=September 14, 2017}}</ref> The couple divorced in 1984.<ref name="Ledger 1984" />
After the divorce, Jackson was frequently seen with dermatologist [[Arnold Klein]]. While recovering from her second bout with breast cancer and on vacation in [[Aspen, Colorado]], in 1989, Jackson met Tom Hart, the owner of a Utah ski lodge, and the pair married in 1991. The couple lived both in [[Los Angeles]] and [[Park City, Utah]]. Jackson and Hart divorced in 1993. In 1995, Jackson adopted a son.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.charliesangels.com/kate.html| title=Kate Jackson aka Sabrina Duncan| publisher=Angelic Heaven| access-date= September 14, 2017}}</ref>
In May 2010, Jackson sued her financial advisor, Richard B. Francis, claiming his actions cost her more than $3 million (${{Inflation|US|3|2010|r=1|fmt=c}} million today) and brought her to financial ruin. The parties reached an undisclosed settlement in December 2010.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.tmz.com/2010/12/20/charlies-angels-kate-jackson-farrah-fawcett-richard-francis-business-manager-financial-ruin-lawsuit-settle/| publisher=[[TMZ]]| title='Charlie's Angels' Star Settles 'Financial Ruin' Lawsuit| date=December 20, 2010| access-date=September 14, 2017}}</ref>
