A raving beauty at 51, Cheryl Jean Stopplemoor from Huron, South Dakota, has appeared in an endless stream of commercials, television appearances and movies that would surprise you.
Cheryl Stopplemoor is none other than Cheryl Ladd, who became Kris Munroe, little sister to replace Farrar Fawcett [who left Charlie’s Angels due to a contract dispute] . Cheryl Ladd became part of the revival (1977-1981) to a long running show that continued to hold television audiences for half a decade.
Cheryl’s goal in life was to succeed in a music career. Her love of music began in high school where she sang with The Music Shop Band. Inspired with dreams of records, The Music Shop Band set out for Los Angeles after graduation. Ultimately, the band broke up, but Cheryl remained within the city and pursued acting
One of her first television appearances was on the TV classic, Ironside (1967). In her early appearances in movies and television she appeared under the name Cheryl Moor and her real name Cheryl Jean Stopplemoor.
With various guest appearances on high profile shows of the seventies, like The Partridge Family (1970), Streets of San Francisco (1972), Happy Days (1974), Police Story (1973) and The Muppet Show (1976) Cheryl was making a name for herself. Her beauty and ability landed her the prime spot on the well known Charlie’s Angels (1977) which she had turned down several times until her character was modified.
Her life changed with her marriage to actor, David Ladd (son of renown actor, Allen Ladd) in 1973 while appearing in the film Jamaica Reef. Shortly after their marriage (1974), the couple had a daughter, Jordan Ladd. Their marriage ended in 1980.
Music never left Cheryl’s life. She continued singing and even produced two albums: Cheryl Ladd (1978) and Dance Forever (1979).
Jordan Ladd, daughter, has followed within her mothers acting footsteps while appearing jointly several times together in such shows as Charlie’s Angels, Jekyll & Hyde (movie, 1990), Broken Promises (movie, 1993) and Every Mother’s Worst Nightmare (movie, 1998).
In 1981, Cheryl took the dramatic role of a child abuser in the movie, When She was Bad, with co-star Robert Urich. This was a dramatic change from the Charlie’s Angels persona, which gave public awareness to the plight of abused children. Now, for over 14 years, Cheryl has been the spokeswoman for Childhelp USA, the largest national, non-profit organization dedicated to research, prevention and treatment of children who suffer abuse.
