Hard Times for Cheryl Ladd
For all the cast, Charlie’s Angels was a life-changing experience, but can you imagine what it must have been like to try to step into the shoes of Farah Fawcett after fans of the show had already grown to love her? Cheryl Ladd tried to take it in stride. She even wore a “Farrah Fawcett Minor” T-shirt when she first arrived on set.
She once said, before she joined the cast of Charlie’s Angels “nobody cared what I ate, how I exercised, what clothes I wore.” After, well, everything changed. Everything was important (and noticed). And, suddenly she said, “Everything I said was interesting.” There are good and bad points to such a quick rise to fame. It may explain why she had a touch time afterward. She also says, though, that the fans are still very loyal.
