Jaclyn Smith Alive and Well

RUMORS

Stunt double reportedly received gunshot wound.

Former Charlie's Angels star Jaclyn Smith was reported on several blogs to be in critical condition in Honduras with a gunshot wound to the head Tuesday evening, which might have been self-inflicted, but her rep says this is a bizarre rumor gone wrong. "She is alive and well in Los Angeles...I spoke to her this morning," her publicist told TMZ. Perez Hilton wrote that the 61-year-old star was vacationing on an island in the Central American country and was evacuated by helicopter to a nearby hospital, which was apparently a mistranslation of a report in a Latin American paper that said Smith's stunt double received a gunshot wound. "Sandra Franklin, stunt double of Jaclyn Smith in the series Charlie's Angels and wife of the producer of the series, received a bullet wound in Roatán, but is recovering in San Pedro Sula," the original story said. "Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie," someone posted on Smith's Twitter page.
