Maybe It Was the Stardom?
Then again, it could have just been a factor of stardom and the demands of the job. Cheryl Ladd said, “Doing that kind of show, filled with long hours, heavy emphasis on appearance and lots of media attention, brought to the surface the weaknesses in relationships.”
They all came out the other side of their illnesses, but they were not unscathed. Ladd explained the extreme nature of her situation, saying: “It is really confusing. It really puts a strain on good marriages because husbands are going, ‘What on earth is the matter with you?’ I didn’t know what the heck was happening. I wasn’t sleeping at all and I was so sensitive emotionally. My poor husband couldn’t say ‘hello’ right; I’d burst into tears.”
