Charlie's Angels Adventure from TV series to Movie Theater
They're beautiful,
they're brilliant, and
they work for Charlie
CHARLIE'S ANGELS, a combination of action,comedy and adventure series about three gorgeous women who were private detectives and work for a cryptic investigation agency or know as “The Charles Townsend Agency”. These women had great personalities, witty, intelligent, physically fit and strong, and of course, extremely beautiful. The Angels were very dedicated to their profession and once they started something, they planned on finishing it. As strong women, the Angels used their minds as well as their looks to get the job done. Charlie's Angels became a popular due to the fact that it was mostly about women fighting crime in a man's world and maybe because of their mysterious boss, Charlie who was never seen.
