Charlie Townsend may have been the man giving out the instructions and Bosley may have been the overseer, but it was always quite clear who was really in charge of Charlie’s Angels - Ms. Sabrina Duncan, no doubt.  As Charlie’s most mature Angel and his most reliable, Sabrina proved herself time and time again.  She found more clues than any other and nine out of ten times she would be the one to pin-point a culprit and solve the mystery.  Her intellect and brassy charm combined with her bright sense of humor and astonishing beauty make her an Angel's angel!

      Sabrina Blaylock was born to a military hero who raised his daughter to be competitive and witty ("Target Angels").  Possessing a rare mix of academic smarts and athletic capabilities, Sabrina finished her high school as both a cheerleader and a bookworm, and after college became an aspiring race car driver ("Hellride").  The fact that she joined the Los Angeles Police Academy should have come as no surprise to anyone who knew her.  Her need for action and adventure in her life was a must.  Aside from being a great police woman, she was also a quarterback on the academy football team.  While there, she met and married a fellow officer, Bill Duncan.  Their marriage was short but sweet.  They divorced when Sabrina decided to leave the force for a career as a private detective with Townsend Associates.  The couple would still date on and off.

      As a detective, Sabrina found her niche in life.  Using her female intuition and years of experience, Sabrina was the greatest employee Charlie Townsend could have ever hoped for.  She used her cleverness to figure out confusing cases and entrap evil-doers by and large.  The brainy Angel could always be counted on to help her friends in a crisis and when she herself was a similar situation, she used her quick wit and know-how to survive.

      Of all the Angels, Sabrina used her sexuality the least.  On occasion she would play up the flirtatious vixen (see "Angel on a String" & "The Sandcastle Murders"), but more often than not, Sabrina relied on her intellect.  Somehow she never wound up in a fashion show or sporting a sexy bikini like her cohorts, but when it came to it, Sabrina could turn on the charm like no one else.  Contrary to all of this, Sabrina was most likely the most sexual Angel of all!  After Kelly helped her escape an attempted rape in "Night of the Strangler", Sabrina doesn't deny that she had never complained about being "defiled" in the past.

      There was never any doubt that Sabrina was a member of the feminist movement and no doubt that she probably marched for equal rights with the rest of her suppressed sisters.  Even though she rarely used her sexuality to perform her job, Sabrina was never immune to mixing business with pleasure.  Many times in her detective career, Sabrina would fall into a relationship with a client ("Lady Killer" & "Angels in Vegas"), even though Charlie warned his Angels early not to get "emotionally involved".  Her first and most unlikely courtship with a client was with Tony Mann, the publisher of the sex magazine, Feline.  He showed Sabrina that not all swinging bachelors were heartless and only interested in one thing.  In return she showed him that all women weren't shallow and put on Earth to serve men.  She admired his charisma and charm and he admired her independence and take charge attitude.

      Not all of Sabrina's liaisons would pan out so nicely.  The greatest heartbreak she would ever experience would come while working on a case.  Upon meeting Doug O'Neal while trying to solve a murder mystery at a ranch resort, Sabrina reluctantly fell in love.  Losing herself in the moment, she became furious at Kelly and Kris for even suggesting he was a possible suspect in the case.  Her heart and hopes for a future with him would shatter when he turned out to be a hijacker and a would-be killer ("Angel in Love").

      Men weren't Sabrina's only weakness!  Paying close attention to her over the years, one may notice she was quite fond of hard liquor and mixed drinks!  Could Sabrina be an alcoholic Angel?  Realistically she probably was!  Although she never appeared drunk, she always appeared with a glass in hand.  Out of all the episodes she appears in, she is seen holding an alcoholic beverage in nearly half of them. Note that in the episode "Angels on Ice", when Bosley pours each of the Angels a drink, Sabrina insists that her's be a double!!  One of her most interesting cravings for a drink was in the episode "Hours of Desperation".  Wearing an explosive belt and being held hostage, Sabrina begs for a glass of liquor to help calm her nerves - before noon, none the less.  This circumstance may seem somewhat understandable, but she's been caught entertaining herself with liquid spirits just too many times.  Due to the fact that Sabrina is such a brainiac, she apparently needs to indulge in some extra-curricular  vices to release the stress.  Unfortunately they just happen to be men and alcohol!

      Taking charge of situations and giving orders to her co-workers probably was never actually designated to Sabrina, but someone had to do it.  In "Bullseye", Sabrina instructs Kelly and Bosley to collect certain materials against the military's wishes in order to save Jill from a murderer.  Her leadership qualities enabled the Angels to get the job done one way or another.  In "Angel on a String" it is learned just how politically aware she is.  Excited over the fact that one of her political heroes will be staying at the same hotel the Angels will be vacationing at, Sabrina reveals to Jill and Kelly her knowledge of oppression to the Polish government.  The other Angels are unfazed by Sabrina's interests and would rather spend time poolside than chasing down a political speaker.   It is in this episode that viewers realize just how well-rounded Sabrina really is.

      Other evidence of how worldly Sabrina really is was most often provided by her undercover roles.  As a horse jockey, Sabrina proved what a sportsman she could be ("Angel in the Stretch").  On the football field she showed her desire for winning, even after the case was wrapped up ("Angels in the Backfield"), which most likely stemmed from her heated chess games with her father ("Target Angels").  Because she is bilingual (she speaks Spanish), Sabrina was assigned to pose as a stewardess while unveiling a drug racquet across the border ("The Mexican Connection").  Even though she was actually quite simplistic in her lifestyle (she was the only Angel of her time to live in an apartment and not don elegant designer clothes), Sabrina could play up a sophisticated socialite in a heartbeat (see "Magic Fire" & "Diamond in the Rough").

      After three years of working for Charlie Townsend, Sabrina opted to quit the detective business and take time out to marry and raise a family.  Of all the Angels, she seems the least likely to ever do this, but then again, Sabrina was always full of surprises.  As a detective she was Charlie's greatest asset.  As a woman she was an inspiration to every other woman she came in contact with and a force to be reckoned with by any man who thought she was just another pretty face.  Combining beauty and brains, Sabrina Duncan will forever remain an Angel in which all other Angels are judged!
