Let's Chat About the Incandescent Cheryl Ladd, Homosexuals

American beautiful.

Typical 70's actress: blond, all-American looks but no personality or any talent beyond reading dialogue. Neither a good nor great actress. Forgettable and forgotten.

Stunning in maturity.

She had a good run. She has aged rather well.

Republican cunt.

Filthy whore!!

She was no Priscilla Barnes!

She wasn't even Lydia Cornell

I loved Josie and the Pussycats.

Hers was the definitive Princess Grace interpretation.

TROUPER, not trooper, OP (unless she joined the Highway Patrol.)

We are not her demographic.

Nothing but tits and teeth.

I always associate Charlie's Angels with her more than Farrah. There was a girl in my third grade class named Kris who looked a bit like Ladd and we all liked to point out the similarities. She still looks great. The Republican thing is disappointing but I'd be surprised if she weren't very gay-friendly.

I first saw Cheryl on an early episode of Happy Days

Kate Jackson looks fab these days!

Has she had any work done?

Her daughter Jordan Ladd is cute.

Very beautiful. Moreso than Farrah. But never much of an actress.

R15--me too! She was SO gorgeous in that episode. I saw an interview where she said she was (newly) pregnant while shooting it and she kept running behind the scenery to puke.

Was she the trashy whore in waiting who ran with Charlene Tilton on the famous dance-a-thon against the fonz when he busted out his Russian moves?

She was the first star replacement in that Annie Get Your Gun revival that played Broadway in 2001. She was in it for four months and almost tanked the whole enterprise. The only thing that saved it was Reba coming in with a now legendary performance for the ages.

Oops, I meant "around 2001." Cheryl's terrible performance was in the late part of 2000. Reba gave her transcendent performance in 2001.

Did she ever appear on The Love Boat or Fantasy Island?

Ms Ladd will be appearing along side noted homosexual Miss John Travolta in American Crime Story, where she'll play the wife of Travolta's character, Robert Shapiro. She discusses at the link.

R23:

She assisted Peter Marshall with his DNA experiments conducted on the Landers sisters in the engine room of the Love Boat

You won't want to miss Cheryl's 1980 special, "Souvenirs," which guest-starred DL icon Joyce Dewitt! So much talent in the same room!

She was in a show that was popular in the 70's. Pretty and barely talented and if she had been pretty and/or given good head, she would have been nowhere. Nothing to see here.

Time to shut it down R28

She was the try hard angel, always trying to please, kinda like a Reese Witherspoon prototype. I preferred the slutty coarseness of Tanya Roberts or the model turned actress detachment of Shelley Hack over that wind up cheerleader.

She also likes to tell the story about how she turned down Charlie's Angels numerous times until they finally gave in to her condition that Kris would have a fun personality. What a maroon.

That's right, R29, her Ophelia was so touching!

Considering she is a lousy actress I'd say she has had a great career!

With a few more audits, she could have been Nicole Kidman

Cheryl was beautiful and put up with a great deal when she was on Charles Angels - Kate was a total bitch to her, but she was able to launch a music career, movies, and really has been able to keep working. She has remained good friends with Jaclyn Smith. Everything kind of backfired for Kate Jackson - The only 2 angels that have really kept working is Ladd and Smith. She has been married to Brenda Russells ex-husband for a number of years.

Scarecrow & Mrs King was better than anything this stepford ever did.

You are delusional R35

Was she a Reagan Republican , or normal GOP (pre-1980 minus Goldwater)?

Music career?

Cheryl's only Top 40 hit, "Think it Over," written by Brian & Brenda Russell, peaked at #34 on the US Billboard charts.

Are you kidding, R39? She had a whole album full of #1 hits.

Hollywood seems so full of blonde girls with a talent score of 4. It's so sad.

Cheryl pulled a train in 1978, long after she had the job. She was entirely too short for anything standing up, but on her back and knees she did good work and looked good working. My father's team loved her, she always arrived ready. To reveal more would be unfair to her now.

I saw an old favorite B film last night on Max called Millennium in which Cheryl plays a time traveling flight attendant who saves doomed airplane crash victims before they die. Kris Kristofferson is the NTSB investigator who falls for her and changes her life in a not to be missed manner. It's one of those movies which I like despite the cheesy special FX and mediocre acting. Cheryl looks gorgeous....I think much more so than she did in Charlie's Angels.

Thank you , R40 She is quite the triple threat and it nice that you are bringing it to peoples attention. TV, Film, Stage, Recording artist - not many stars can say that today. Cheryl looks amazing and is iconic as Kris Munroe. 30 years late, and we aren't talking about Lydia Cornell, Heather Thomas, or Jenilee Harrison. Cheryl replaced Farrah and the rating soared! If it weren't for her, Charles Angels cold have been a 1 season wonder - God help Aarron Spelling if he had chosen Shelly Hack when Farrah left - Cheryl was the plus that kept the show on the air!

R44 drinks bathtub gin to wash down her dandruff cakes

Cheryl's taking over for Farrah, who was very popular, and it went over seamlessly. Definitely one of the most successful replacements in history of television.

Cheryl was never a master thespian, but she was the best actress on the show besides Kate Jackson (who was really the glue that held the show together). Farrah wasn't good until long after CA, when she surprised many with her performances in "The Burning Bed" and in "Small Sacrifices."

I don't think she is ultra conservative nut like many in the Republican Party of today.

Think it Over...

How did Farrah become such a good actress in the 80's when she couldn't deliver her line to save her life on CA??

LOL, R48. I know, right?

R8, I love you. Thankfully, she was no Deborah Van Valkenburg, either.

I love the made-for-tv movie Cheryl starred in "When She Was Bad". It was about child abuse.

I had two of her albums when I was a little kid. Loved 'em.

Cheryl Ladd only did the singing voice of Melody on JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS.

r52, she had two albums out on Capitol Records in the late 70's and a couple released in Japan in the early 80's. Get with it.

A true triple threat: can't sing, can't dance, can't act!

r55, you have a lot in common with her then!

[quote]Republican cunt.

Cut the nigga a break -- she's from South Dakota.

[quote]unless she joined the Highway Patrol.)

SHE DID!!!

Ooh, R56 sure schooled me! What a good one, R56! I have been seriously burned with a defense of THE Cheryl Ladd!

R47 she is an excellent hair flipper!

I think even the best actor can only do so much (or comes off as bad) with cheesy, terrible dialogue, R48. Look at the Star Wars films for proof. Give an actor a meaty role with some great writing and then you'll be surprised at what they can do. It all starts with the material.

I thought Cheryl was very good in the Drew Barrymore movie, Poison Ivy.

i did too r61

If you'll notice her debut episode of CA had her all in cutaways so they could replace her with Farrah if she came back. The producers were pretty desperate to get Kim Basinger who was in "Angels in Chains" but she turned them down.

I'm pretty surprised she is going to be in some somewhat prestigious productions...American Crime Story and Ray Donovan. She looks good--her plastic surgery has settled.

I've said this before on DL, but years ago I briefly dated a guy who had worked in Hollywood--can't remember doing what--and he said Cheryl was a lesbian and her long time girlfriend was an actress, but he couldn't remember her name. It seemed like such a random thing to know that I figured it was true...but this guy was also nuts, so who knows? She's been married to her husband for 35 years so I kind of doubt the lesbian thing.

Triple threat? Yes, she's one banjo shy of being Karen Ziemba.

[quote]Republican cunt

Redundant.

fyi: Charle's Angels didn't hit number one in the ratings until its second season, when Ladd had joined.

Would she have had much of career if she hadn't married David Ladd?

R67, Charlie's Angels' numbers went up in the second season because they moved its timeslot from 10 PM to 9 PM, and more people are watching TV at 9 PM.

Designing Women's highest rated season was the one with Julia Duffy, but we all know that season was a disaster and, actually, the downfall of the show. Ratings only tell part of the story. (Though in this instance, the problem was not actually Duffy, but how she was written.)

How do you remember this stuff, R69? Do you have a stack of old TV Guides in your closet? Spooky.

[quote] How did Farrah become such a good actress in the 80's when she couldn't deliver her line to save her life on CA??

Same thing with Jessica Lange. She was painful to watch in "King Kong."

I'm confused. Cheryl Ladd continued to work as an actress after Charlie's Angels?

R71. Try Nicole Kidman in Days of Thunder so you want to laugh at horrible acting

The way my page/screen is sized, I looked on the "recent threads" sidebar and saw:

[italic] Let's Chat About the Incandescent Cher [/italic]

Thusly I found this thread very disappointing.

She was still Cheryl Jean Stoppelmoor when she had a bit part in my classic movie, Satan's School for Girls, of which I was the star. She had no talent then except for getting down on her knees, which is how she became Cheryl Ladd a short time later.

Shelley Hack was my favorite angel. She did her whole season with a "what a pile of steaming crap this is" look on her face. She was definitely the prettiest one. If they had just let her do her own her it could have all been so different.

I could never buy that breezy sex on a stick Farrah could be siblings with that busty stumpy sex troll who was more skilled at detassling corn or waitressing.

I think Rose's audition tape would have been better with Shelley Hack

Who loved Shelley Hack? There's never been a bitch in Hollywood who has gotten more chances to fail then she has. She had FIVE TV shows written for her as the lead actress in mind that they wanted. What did they see in her that others didn't?

Cheryl's career wasn't due to marrying David Ladd - If it was she wouldn't have lost the role in Spelling's "Family" and done "B" movies like Satan's School for Girls. Spelling saw talent and went after her for Farrah's replacement. He had to negotiate her out of a contract for the NEW "Laugh In" from George Schlatter. Ladd was already booked right before she was offered the role of Kris Munroe. She was able to really market herself the same way Farrah did - Posters, "Cheryl Ladd" Mego doll, Top 40 single, product endorsements, ya gotta give her some credit!

Kim Basinger didn't turn Spelling down Charles Angels - They did not want her after her audition. You think Basinger would turn down "Charlie Angels" to work on the short lived series "Dog & Cat?"

The variety Specials, the Records, and the MOW were all contract stipulations that Ladd asked for and were common at the time. Actresses didn't want to be typed cast and would work on other projects when they were on hiatus. Look, she's still working and filming American Crime Story. Out of ALL the Angels, she is the only one who is consistently working after all these years.

R80: it's ALL forgettable work

She's the girl who lifted up her blouse in an elevator with the producer Sherwood Schwartz in order to get an audition for the Harper Valley PTA series. She got the audition, but not the job.

Jaclyn with her Kmart line & hairdressing reality show on bravo are more memorable

Zjack-QLEEN! Zjack-QLEEN! you filthy whore.

[R80]: it's ALL forgettable work It's fucking late 70's Television! Like YOUR leaving your mark on Pop Culture! Give me a fucking break..

Ok Shilly Winters.

Funny how you first argue how she's the only one still working, but then reduce her to nothing more than late 70s tv when pressed.

I thought she was a triple threat who has outlasted her peers by continuing to be relevant across a bridge that spans the late 70s to a worthless cameo on a procedural buried on abc in the upcoming season?

Bedtime for you, cheeseball

Wasn't Shelly Winters an all time inter-collegiate wrestling star?

She is given 16th billing in the Ryan Murphy love letter to OJ and playing a character nobody remembers.

I hear Vegas bookies are placing the over/under on total airtime at 7 minutes

Evidently, some intern was smoking bath salts and decided Cheryl looked most like Mrs Bob Shapiro.

He was given a rental car and a crisp C-note to hunt down Mz Ladd's agent and wake him up from his diabetic coma so he could in turn coax the fallen angel and one time top 40 (#39 peak) recording artist out of the bottom of the bottle of Popov she has been living in since 1987.

If successful, his daring mission just might unearth the missing piece to make Travolta shine like it was 1978 all over again...

I'm assuming Brenda Russell's ex husband and Cheryl's current is white?

Jaclyn doesn't have time to act these days, she's too busy at her drafting board (per the commercials) sketching out next season's collection.

If I've only learned one thing on DL, it's that her pussy stinks.

r92, thats your pussy that stinks.

I was once told that I bore a striking resemblance to Miss Cheryl Ladd.... Although my bosoms are perkier.

R93, it's an old joke on the Datalounge - let it go.

Jacklyn Smith has a hairdressing reality show on Bravo? This is the first I've heard of it.

R95: it's already come and gone (2007-2010). It was called Shear Genius

Looks like she only appeared in the first 2 seasons

R90 Yes/I believe that he is a Scot.

What's with the Cheryl hate? Despite her Republican leanings, she's always been sweet to everyone she's worked with. She was popular among the CA crew because she knew each one by name, asked about their families and gave them gifts for the holidays. Kate, on the other hand, was too much of a diva to bother, and yet it irked her that the new girl got a lot of their attention.

R80, Dog and Cat had already been cancelled when they approached her about CA. However, the concept that she would be Farrah's little sister was not appealing to Basinger who already have a healthy ego.

I've seen interviews where Cheryl has stood up for Shelley Hack. I thought that was pretty nice of her.

Cheryl was a doll!

Hiiiiiiiii! Well, I'm here!

It really was a fun cultural moment.

R89, you're trying too hard.

i love that bitch so much. she was my most favorite angel.

R104: you're not trying hard enough

I loved her two albums on Capitol Records!

She used to eat Olivia Newton John's pussy. That ugly daughter of Olivia's would have turned out better if Cheryl had been the father.

Chloe isn't ugly!

She wore the hell out that wig!

there are gay republicans and many GOP are not anti gay!

Hi Matt! You've got WiFi in your tree house now?

Sorry, but any Republican that votes to give any widespread power to the Republicans is a grade-A asshole, and this includes Ms. Cheryl Fucking Ladd. Moderates have had years to denounce and neutralize their anti-science, anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-everything MAJORITY yet have not. The only thing that would save them in my eyes at this point would be to fracture and kill the current Republican Party for the sake of the nation.

Her pussy didn't smell half badd.
