Beauty, grace, class and an effervescent personality, is it any wonder why Cheryl Ladd remains one of Hollywood’s favorites. Cheryl has come a long way from her days as one of Charlie’s Angels. From television to movies, Broadway and now author for Cheryl Ladd, the best is yet to come.

Ladd unveiled Token Chick: A Woman’s Guide To Golfing With The Boys, on May 5, 2005 an autobiographical book recounting her experiences with the sport of golf. The book follows Ladd’s experiences from being introduced to the game by her husband to stories of celebrity golf tournaments and pro-ams, as well as pointers for players of all skill levels. Token Chick is published by Miramax Books.

Currently Ladd is appearing in national 30-second spots for an educational campaign for women about the importance of seeing a doctor at the on set of menopause. Over the last thee years, research suggests a nearly 30% drop in the number of women who have visited their doctors due to Menopausal issues. Launched by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Ladd is the figurehead of this awareness initiative, hoping to drive women to a new online resource, www.talkingtoyourdoctor.com .

On the small screen, Ladd currently stars in NBC’s Las Vegas, playing the loving wife of James Caan. Las Vegas airs Fridays at 9:00pm.

Ladd’s recent guest appearances include the ABC sitcom Hope & Faith, in which she played Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford’s deceased mother, and this past Christmas, she starred in the Lifetime MOW Eve’s Christmas.

Although she is better known for her dramatic skills, Ladd displayed her flair for comedy playing an earnest but off-beat beer distributor from South Dakota named ‘Maryanne’ on the NBC sitcom Jesse, and as ‘Berg’s’ mom on the ABC hit Two Guys and a Girl – a role that had become a recurring character for the talented actress. Moving effortlessly between mediums is second nature for this seasoned performer, who starred on Broadway as ‘Annie Oakley’ in Annie Get Your Gun. Her lifelong dream became a reality when she replaced Bernadette Peters in the Tony Award-winning musical. Of her performance, syndicated columnist Liz Smith enthused, “Cheryl, who has winning pipes, is terrifically charming as the countrified ragamuffin sharpshooter transformed by love.”

On the big screen, Ladd was last seen starring opposite Jon Voight and Jack Warden in Warner Bros.’ remake of the children’s classic, A DOG OF FLANDERS, and opposite Ben Stiller in the Artisan Entertainment feature, PERMANENT MIDNIGHT, based on the turbulent life of Hollywood writer and heroin addict, Jerry Stahl. “I found this project to be extremely fascinating, “ says Ladd, who portrayed ‘Pamela Verlaine,’ the star of a television series who tries to help Stahl stay clean. “The movie dealt with the horror of heroin in a completely realistic and sobering way.”

Born and raised in Huron, South Dakota, Ladd spent her childhood focused on singing, dancing, acting - and moving on. "My mother says my bags were packed from the time I was three," says Ladd. "She knew I was headed for either New York or Hollywood." While in high school, Ladd sang with a local group called "The Music Shop," which brought her to Los Angeles upon graduation. The band eventually broke up, but Ladd stayed in L.A. intent on pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. In just a short time, she got her first professional break as the singing voice of 'Melody' on the cartoon series, Josie and the Pussycats.

Armed with talent and perseverance, Ladd quickly added a string of significant credits to her resume, including the comedy/variety series, The Ken Berry WOW Show, with Steve Martin and Teri Garr. "If that show had hit, I think I would have become a comedienne," she offers. Instead, Ladd was cast in the role of 'Kris Munroe' on Charlie's Angels and was instantly catapulted into stardom. "The onslaught of attention and instant fame was pretty overwhelming," says Ladd, who spent four years on the show.

While still on the series, she developed and starred in the ABC telefilm, When She Was Bad, which dealt with the harsh realities of child abuse. "At that time, no one was saying anything about this horrific epidemic going on in our country," says Ladd, an ambassador for Childhelp USA - one of the largest national, non-profit organization dedicated to research, prevention and treatment of child abuse. "I wanted to bring this issue to the forefront of people's minds."

Ladd's numerous television credits include starring roles in the Lifetime MOW Her Best Friend’s Husband, ABC miniseries, Grace Kelly; Jekyll and Hyde, with Michael Caine; A Death in California, opposite Sam Elliot; Bluegrass; Danielle Steel's Crossings and Changes; the FOX Family Channel suspense thriller Perfect Little Angels; the CBS movie-of-the-week, Michael Landon: The Father I Knew, opposite John Schneider; and Every Mother's Worst Fear, for the USA Network. The latter film, about a mother's search for her teenage daughter who is abducted by someone who met her while surfing the internet was particularly special to Ladd, as it allowed her to star opposite her real-life daughter, Jordan Ladd.

Her additional feature film credits include New Line Cinema's POISON IVY, with Tom Skerritt and Drew Barrymore; Twentieth Century Fox's MILLENNIUM, with Kris Kristofferson; and the war drama PURPLE HEARTS.

During her spare moments between projects, Ladd is a tireless humanitarian. In addition to being awarded the "Woman of the World Award" from Childhelp USA in 1987, Ladd also had the honor of becoming the first woman to receive the prestigious "Hubert H. Humphrey Humanitarian Award" by the Washington D.C. Touchdown Club for her continuing philanthropic endeavors.

An avid golfer, Ladd plays whenever time allows sporting a respectable index of 14. When she's not on the golf course, Ladd keeps herself busy developing new projects and has also written a children’s book with her husband of over twenty years, Brian Russell. The book, The Adventures of Little Nettie Windship, teaches the value of good citizenship, and championship.

Ladd's focus, however, remains on her acting. "I think it would be great fun to do a sitcom," she says, "I'm one of those actors who is always looking to the next challenge."
