Jaclyn Smith does not age. The original Charlie’s Angels star posted a new photo to Instagram that left fans wondering how she stays so looking young at age 73 – and how she can still work those high heels.

In a new photo, Smith, who has a birthday later this month, posed in a hot pink skater dress from her clothing line. But it was her shoes—and her incredibly toned legs—that really caught fans’ attention. In the pic, Smith is wearing super-high two-toned pink pumps as she stands on a patio, and her muscular calves are on full display.

Fans hit the comments section to remark on the “ageless beauty” who first graced TV screens back in 1976 when she played Kelly Garrett on the hit ABC detective drama, Charlie’s Angels.

“The elegant Jaclyn Smith,” one fan wrote.

“Girl is still looking sharp!” another added.

“Omg Kelly is serving looks!!!! Loving it from head to toe,” a third fan chimed in.

“Love,” another follower wrote. “Now long can you stand in those beautiful high heels?”

This is not the first time Smith has wowed Instagram fans with a killer pose. Earlier this year, the gorgeous grandma posed in a red minidress as she teased a new project.

As for the secrets to Smith’s still-stunning shape, it doesn’t hurt that she’s a former ballet dancer, which also helps explain those toned legs. The 73-year-old star revealed in an interview with Better Nutrition earlier this year that she also swears by working with a personal trainer.

Smith added that when she works out, she does it for her brain as well as her body, and she said she feels people need to work out at least three times a week as they get older.

The brunette beauty added that she also eats a healthy diet and doesn’t drink or smoke, but she also allows herself to splurge on burgers and pizza once in a while. Smith also revealed that a “balance” of work and family life keeps her young at heart.

Smith is a mother to two adult children, Gaston and Spencer Margaret, with her ex-husband Tony Richmond. She has been married to cardiothoracic surgeon Brad Allen for more than 20 years. The actress and businesswoman is also a proud grandmother to two young granddaughters.

Based on her new Instagram photo, everything Smith is doing seems to be working for her.

Good genes. Greater charm. Jaclyn Smith, 73, who became iconic for playing sultry Kelly Garrett in the ’70s hit show Charlie’s Angels, will always be the epitome of brunette beauty.

And it was like, “Hey, that was just like me watching her [as a mom], and now I am ANGELS FLYING HIGH watching the both of them.” We had guards at all times [when Charlie’s Angels turned into a full-blown phenomenon].

Never one to rest on her laurels, though, the had approached her – plus, the fact that her own head-turner also has her own line of wallpaper mother had wanted to be a designer! – and an eponymous skin-care range (left).

Ten years after the death of Farrah Fawcett, her Charlie’s Angels costar Jaclyn Smith is remembering her “brave” and beautiful friend. “Farrah was relentless in her fight,” Smith tells PEOPLE of her late costar’s decision to go public with her cancer battle and launch The Farrah Fawcett Foundation to raise money for research and education.

“Who would have dreamed that this girl who was known for the smile and the hair and the glamour would open up the depths of her soul to share with the world?” Smith says of Fawcett, who died at age 62 on June 25, 2009.

Smith remembers the day Fawcett first told her she had cancer.

“She said, ‘I always thought I might get breast cancer or heart disease but never this’ and she started to cry,” recalls Smith. “I never saw her cry after that.”

Their decades-long friendship, along with fellow Charlie’s Angels costar Kate Jackson, was cemented early on.

“We had each other’s backs,” says Smith, 73, of their days on the set. “It was like a college dorm, eating in our trailers together. Sometimes we’d shop on weekends for what we were going to wear. We were not just actresses working, but girlfriends and it remained that way for 40 years.”

RELATED: Farrah Fawcett’s Friends Recall Her Final Days and Her Last Words: ‘Redmond’ “When Farrah decided to leave after one season, we all supported her,” says Smith of Fawcett’s decision to leave the show in 1977. “She wasn’t afraid to say, ‘This is what I’m gonna do.’ Farrah wanted to be seen as a serious actress. She marched to her own drum. And once she was accepted as an actress, she went back to Playboy and posed at 50 years old. From a serious actress to a sex symbol again. There was never a boring moment.”

Looking back on the show, she says, “It changed our lives. We were sorta like rock stars. When we went to Hawaii for the season opener, we had guards around the clock. We all went on to do our thing, but the power of Charlie’s Angels — it helped define who we were and where we went.”

Towards the end of Fawcett’s life, the two grew even closer. On one of their final visits, Smith says: “Farrah brought me a German chocolate cake she’d made. Then I found her in my closet. Her legs were swollen [due to her treatment] but she wanted to try on a pair of my shoes. She was a true girlfriend.”

On their last visit, Smith visited Farrah at her apartment in Los Angeles. “She was in pain and couldn’t stay still,” Smith recalls. “I was rubbing her feet, trying to make her feel better. And that relaxed her. We must have talked for three hours about our lives, about our children, about growing up in Texas. The time I spent with Farrah at the end was the best because we appreciated the friendship.”

Looking back, she says, “What I remember about Farrah is that as much of an eight-by-10 glossy as she was, she was the friend who cheered me on, the girl who loved her parents, the girl down the street.”

“Together, we shared the ups and downs of life, of happiness and sadness,” says Smith, who is now focusing on a wide array of business ventures, including a new skin care line.

“I miss her every day,” says the one-time Angel. “A lot of people are gone now and that’s hard. I miss them and it’s okay to miss them.”
