Cheryl Ladd

Yay, she has an official site! and this is her store. Go buy some stuff!


My second crush on a famous star, Cheryl was born on July 12, 1951 as Cheryl Jean Stoppelmoor in Huron, South Dakota. She is 5' 4" [1.63 m] tall.

Another poster that was on my wall.


I didn't realize that she had so many posters. Thank goodness I didn't know about them. My room would have really looked weird.

Factoids:
  • Mother of Jordan Ladd, born in 1975 who is already and actor and stepdaughter, Lindsay Russell, born 1977, is an aspiring musician.
  • During high school in Huron, South Dakota, Ladd waited on cars at the local carhop, The Barn.
  • Has a younger brother named Seth.
  • High school cheerleader in Huron.
  • Was considered for the role eventually played by Meredith Baxter on "Family" (1976), which is how she came to producer Aaron Spelling's attention for "Charlie's Angels" (1976).
  • In 1978, a listener wrote into Casey Kasem's "American Top 40" radio show, requesting a long-distance dedication (a weekly feature) to Cheryl, asking her to his high school prom. She personally telephoned the boy with her regrets and he thought it was his friends playing a prank. The song in question, Cheryl's "Think It Over", peaked at #36.
  • Was the first choice for the lead role in the TV movie The Burning Bed (1984) (TV), but declined the part. The role eventually went to Farrah Fawcett, whom Ladd had replaced on "Charlie's Angels" (1976).
  • Longtime friend and next-door neighbor of John Forsythe. He passed away on April 1, 2010 at the tender age of 92 and if you are reading this, you should also know that he was "Charlie" in "Charlie's Angels."
