'AGGRESSIVE'

‘Charlie’s Angels’ Star Reveals Secret Health Battle

She’s not the first from the show to have suffered.

Charlie’s Angels star Cheryl Ladd spoke for the first time on Monday about her battle with an “aggressive” form of breast cancer. The 74-year-old was at Los Angeles’ PaleyFest, where she linked up with her former co-stars to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show. During the event, she sat on a panel with her former co-stars, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson, and opened up about her illness. “Mine was an aggressive form,” she said, according to People. “I had wonderful doctors.” “I was bald. It was a humbling experience and yet I have a wonderful husband… he was there for me at every turn. Eventually, I started to get little sprouts of hair. It was a long, long, hard road, but you just get on with it.” She described the experience as “humbling,” but wanted to share her experience, given that Smith had fought breast cancer in 2002, and Jackson in 1987. Their fellow Angel, Farrah Fawcett, died from cancer in 2009 at the age of 62. After Ladd had spoken, Smith told the crowd, “The first thing I did was send her my wigs. She was so brave.”
