LOS ANGELES — Cheryl Ladd got personal speaking about her battle with breast cancer publicly for the first time on Monday night, April 6.
During the PaleyFest 50th anniversary celebration of the classic TV series "Charlie's Angels," Ladd, 74, opened up about her bout with cancer.
"Mine was an aggressive form," Ladd said from the Dolby Theatre stage, sitting next to "Charlie's Angels" co-stars Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. "I had wonderful doctors. But I was bald for quite a while. It was a humbling experience."
Ladd gave thanks to her music producer husband Brian Russell, to whom she's been married since 1981, for helping to pull her through the difficult time.
"I have a wonderful husband. All through it, he was there for me at every turn, and that makes a difference," said Ladd. "Eventually, I started to get little sprouts of hair. It was like, 'Oh, I'm getting hair!' It was a long, long, hard road. But you just get through. You just get on with it."
