Cheryl Ladd recalls a #MeToo moment that allegedly happened early in her career when Ladd moved to LA.
In an interview with Page Six, Cheryl Ladd said that “I was about 19 and I did get chased around one desk.”
“I literally ran around the desk and out the door.”
Cheryl Ladd joked that she must have “put out a vibe” that she was not somebody to “mess with,” adding, “So, don’t bother.”
Cheryl Ladd appeared in a host of TV shows like “Happy Days” and “The Partridge Family,” Back in the early ’70s.
Cheryl Ladd then became an overnight star in 1977 when she replaced Farrah Fawcett in “Charlie’s Angels.”
Cheryl Ladd referred to it as a “rocketship time,” adding that being on the Aaron Spelling-produced show was “in a way, the best of times and the worst of times.”
“People forget that when you did a series like ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ there were 29 episodes [a season],” she explained.
“And not to mention, all the wardrobe fittings and all the interviews, we just worked ourselves to the bone.”
She continued, “I had a 2-year-old daughter when I started ‘Charlie’s Angels.’ It was really, really difficult on so many levels. During the series, I got divorced [from first husband David Ladd]. So, yeah, there was a lot of stuff that happened then.”
Flash forward to now, Cheryl Ladd is gearing up for her new movie “A Cowgirl’s Song.”
“It’s just so warm and fun and great music. It was all around just a hoot [to film]. And I loved playing that grandmother,” she told Page Six.
“I mean, when I’m acting, I’m somebody else. When I’m in a room, I’m myself. And you know, take it or leave it!”
