Smith welcomed Gaston in 1982 with her third husband, Anthony B. Richmond. The couple later had a daughter, Spencer, in 1985.
Now 43, Gaston has built a career behind the camera as a television cameraman, working on projects including Party of Five, Shameless, Fresh Off the Boat, and Three Rivers.
His career reflects a connection to the entertainment industry that runs in the family, with Smith herself becoming a household name through her role on Charlie’s Angels.
Reflecting on an Iconic Career
Smith portrayed Kelly Garrett throughout the show’s entire run from 1976 to 1981, making her the only original cast member to appear in every episode. She starred alongside Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson, forming a trio that became central to the series’ success.
Looking back, Smith has credited the dynamic between the three women as a defining factor in the show’s popularity. “The heartbeat of that show was the girls,” she said, recalling the strong friendships formed during production.
She has remained close with former co-stars, including Cheryl Ladd and Jackson. In an interview with Page Six, Smith spoke warmly about their connection, describing it as lasting and meaningful.
Lasting Bonds Beyond the Screen
Smith also reflected on personal milestones that have brought those relationships full circle. Jackson attended Gaston’s wedding to Bonnie Lane in July 2023, an event Smith described to People as joyful and deeply meaningful.
She noted that their reunion felt as though no time had passed, underscoring the strength of a friendship shaped decades earlier.
Smith continues to honor the legacy of her late co-star Farrah Fawcett, who died in 2009, by supporting the Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which focuses on cancer research and patient support.
While her career spans decades, Smith has said that her experience on Charlie’s Angels remains central to how she reflects on her journey—anchored by both professional success and lifelong friendships.
