Career

Ladd was known as "Cherie Moor" when she performed on the album based on Hanna-Barbera's Josie and the Pussycats animated series. In 1977 (starting from the second season), Ladd (as she was now known) replaced Farrah Fawcett in Charlie's Angels, and stayed until the end of the show in 1981. She also starred in the 1994–1996 series One West Waikiki. In January 1980, Ladd sang the national anthem prior to Super Bowl XIV. In 1996, she released a children's book, The Adventures of Little Nettie Windship, following it up in 2005 with Token Chick: A Woman’s Guide To Golfing With The Boys, an autobiographical book which focused on her love of golf.

In September 2000, Ladd took over the role of Annie Oakley from Bernadette Peters on Broadway in the revival of Irving Berlin's musical, Annie Get Your Gun. She played the role until January 2001, when Reba McEntire took over. From 2003 to the show's cancellation in 2008, Ladd played the lead character's wife, Jillian Deline, in the television drama Las Vegas.

Personal life

Cheryl married fellow actor David Ladd, son of the famous actor Alan Ladd, by whom she had a daughter, Jordan. She took his surname as her own, which she kept after their divorce. She has been married to record producer Bryan Russell since 1981. Ladd is a celebrity ambassador for the child abuse prevention and treatment non-profit Childhelp.
