Sneak Peek - Louie Anderson, Jaclyn Smith & More on OPRAH WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

An all-new episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" with Jaclyn Smith, Sheila E. and Louie Anderson airs this Sunday, July 20 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

Actress Jaclyn Smith attained super-stardom as one of the original leading ladies in the hit 70's television series, "Charlie's Angels." As a business woman, she helped pioneer the concept of celebrities developing their own brands, launching a line of clothing for Kmart. Today, she talks about her newest business venture and opens up about her decades-long friendship with Farrah Fawcett, detailing the last time they saw each other. Then, Grammy-nominated, legendary female percussionist, Sheila E., was one of the biggest pop stars of the '80s. Here, she visits the rough Oakland neighborhood where she grew up, and takes us backstage for a revealing account of her relationship with Prince, and how fame changed her in ways she never expected.

Next, famed "clean material" comedian Louie Anderson is still packing the audiences in in Las Vegas, but today his weight is not just the subject of his jokes - it's his new mission to get moving and inspire others to do the same. Plus, more "Oprah" show updates with the two violent teenagers who spent years in a juvenile home. How are they faring, more than a decade later?

Finally, Cheli Porter, the woman whose ex-husband shot and killed their three sons while they slept before taking his own life, returns 17 years after that tragedy to share news of her life today.

EXCERPT: Jaclyn Smith on Charlie's Angels: "It Was Ground Breaking"

JACLYN: I think it was ground breaking for women. It was three women in a show, instead of three men. It was glamorous. It was sort of escapism. It's so different than television today. I think they labeled us as sex symbols and sex exploitation, and we weren't. I mean we were in a swimsuit on the beach, very few love scenes. It was innocent.

EXCERPT: The First Time Sheila E. Met Prince

SHEILA: I met Prince in 1978 I think it was. He played here in the Bay Area. And after he performed I was walking backstage to introduce myself and he was in the mirror. And he shook my hand and he goes, 'I know who you are.' And I went, 'huh?' He says, 'I've been following your career.' That's when we started just hanging out, playing together and listening to music. But then, 83, he just said, 'Don't you wanna do a record?' So, it seemed like it was weeks later, I was in the studio recording my record.

EXCERPT: The Best Comedy Advice Louie Anderson Ever Received

LOUIE: You know I was kind of a Rickles comic to begin with. I was caustic and I was abusive and mean to the audience. One time I came off stage and a guy named Roman Decare, God rest his soul, he was a comic. 'Louie, if you do that family stuff and you're a clean comic on stage, you'll become famous.' And, for some reason a switch clicked and I started doing the family stuff and it became a giant part of my life.
