Jaclyn Smith, the actress known for “Charlie’s Angels,” says she has battled an “unusual” form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) since she was 12. She discusses the condition in connection with the release of her new book, “I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie,” which is published on September 8.
Both outlets report that Smith attributes the onset of her OCD to events following the death of her uncle. They describe her sharing personal details about her diagnosis and experience as part of her book’s content. Beyond that, the coverage focuses primarily on her disclosure rather than on external confirmation, medical specifics, or treatment details.
Across the sources, the main emphasis is on Smith’s age when symptoms began, her description of the OCD as “unusual,” and the timing and framing of her comments through her book launch. Neither outlet provides additional corroborating information beyond her account, and the reports do not elaborate on broader implications or responses from medical professionals.
