Exclusive Report! Kate Jackson: Fallen Angel
Just over a year after Charlie's Angels star Kate Jackson moved into her $2 million Santa Monica home, it has deteriorated into a living hellhole filled with rat droppings, moldy food and heaps of debris. It got so bad that a crew of professional cleaners needed two days to cart enough trash away to make the house habitable!
"There is so much junk that we had to remove a bunch of stuff just to walk through it," cleaner David Angelotti tells Star in an exclusive interview. "It stank in there because there was so much garbage everywhere."
Kate's personal assistant hired Angelotti and his crew to clear the home — and neighbors say it was long overdue. "Kate is very sweet, but there's something a bit bizarre about her," one fed-up neighbor tells Star. "She has so much clutter in her backyard, and the house is in shambles."
Meanwhile, Kate's alarming behavior in front of the cleaning crew — she was talking very fast, Angelotti says, and she kept repeating herself, stuttering and clicking her jaw a lot — appears to be a troubling sign that the 60-year-old actress may be battling her old drug demons. As Star reported in 2003, she confessed to relying on painkillers to get through the day after several car accidents left her in agonizing pain.
Kate's house was in such a sickening state that she asked Angelotti to have his crew come back the next day. But "no one wanted to work there again," he says. "It was so depressing. She's like a crazy recluse — it’s a real sad Hollywood story."
Pick up the new issue of Star, on newsstands now, to see the shocking photos of Kate's home! Plus: Find out who Kate says destroyed her life and how her 13-year-old son reacted to his mom's odd antics.

kate jackson was and still is the prettiest charlies angle and one hell of a person. brenda you need to look in the mirror because it sounds like your a bit jealous of her. we need to find her and become her friends and maybe some of us could help her get the help she needs (if any) or help her ourselves (maybe by writting her and such). brenda get a grip and dont write anything else!!!!!

A classic hoarder will not be happy unless surrounded by things. Removing things causes acute anxiety reactions. It is common in many creative people. On the other side of the coin are the compulsively neat, who clean all day, can't sleep until everything is perfect in the house. Both syndromes mild cases of Obsessuve Culpulsive Disorder. Most hoaders are very interesting and bright people. There are thousands of people like this, only most of them don't hire crudbags like Angoletti to help them clean. This guy sounds more off than she does, being afraid of a mess. What a wimp.

Poor Kate - God help her and her son! She was always so together..
I must admit it does make me feel a little better about my messy house. (God help me too!) -- girlfriend
This is a sign of OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Hoarding happens a lot more often than we hear about. This is easily treated with meds and therapy.
Good luck Kate, we love you and wish you only the best! -- sunny
I hope that none of this is true, but sad to say, sometimes the life of a celebrity brings such joy to the veiwers and such hell to the actors.
I know Kate has gone through cancer herself 2 times, not too mention some kind of heart issue - don't remember what but she had surgery. During filming of Scarecrow I recall her injuring her ankle and a wrist - and speaking on a tv interview about it. She is thin, always has been, so maybe she does have frail bones. Anyhow, all of those injuries and Farrah's sad passing could easily have fueled pain that she doesn't know how to make go away. She looked beautiful on the clips recently aired during the Farrah dying clips, and she looked good last year on Criminal Minds episode that she did. I suspect Kate always talks fast or at times, she did it quite naturally as Amanda on SMK. The reports though of people following her and such remind me of the things Bruce (SMK) said of fellow SMK costar who played Billy Melrose when he had Alzehiemers(sp?). Anyhow, hope none of this true of Kate or if is, hope she gets help she needs. Would hate to see her end up like Michael Jackson or AnnaNichole Chick - what was her name? -- ShellyLynn
wow, Brenda, you sound like a seriously miserable person. Kate is beautiful and talented...what have you done lately? (Other than spread hate)
