Charlie’s Angels’ Cheryl Ladd Described The Series As A Blessing In Her Career

Cheryl Ladd’s extraordinary career isn’t lost on the actor, and she knows the tremendous part “Charlie’s Angels” played in her life. “Oh, I think a blessing,” Ladd said during an interview back in 1983 (via YouTube). “Oh, absolutely, it was a great experience. I had four years in front of a camera, and four years of experience, and became known. I mean, it wasn’t Shakespeare. I think in a way I have some typecasting things to get over, but as time goes by, I’m being offered better and better parts.” And Ladd’s time on “Charlie’s Angels” was indeed a godsend: It gave her the power to make a real difference in the lives of kids.

Ladd remains a celebrity ambassador for Childhelp to this day, according to the Childhelp website. Founded by Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, the organization is dedicated to helping at-risk children across the globe. Ladd was awarded the Childhelp Woman of the World Award for her humanitarian efforts. In March 2022, Ladd was also honored with the Children’s Friends Award for her 41 years of service with Childhelp, and the actor shared her acceptance speech on Facebook. 

Ladd’s time on “Charlie’s Angels” was a true gift, and the time she spent on the television series allowed her to play the biggest role of her entire career: an advocate for assisting children in need around the world.
