Cheryl Ladd, 74, opens up about breast cancer battle: 'Long, hard road'

LOS ANGELES —Cheryl Laddgot personal speaking about her battle with breast cancer publicly for the first time on Monday night, April 6.

During thePaleyFest50th 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 JacksonandJaclyn Smith. "I had wonderful doctors. But I was bald for quite a while. It was a humbling experience."

Cheryl Ladd attends "Charlie's Angels" 50th Anniversary Celebration at PaleyFest at the Dolby Theater on April 6.

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."

After Ladd spoke, Smith, 80, who starred as Kelly Garrett on "Charlie's Angels," shared how she immediately helped her friend.

"The first thing I did was send her my wigs," said Smith, also a breast cancer survivor. "She was so brave. She did have a very aggressive form (of cancer)."

Smith was diagnosed and underwent a lumpectomy and radiation treatment after a routine mammogram detected the breast cancer early in 2002.

"Early detection is the key," said Smith. "Every minute is important."

Jackson, 77, who played Sabrina on "Charlie's Angels," is a two-time breast cancer survivor who has become a strong advocate for early detection.

Ladd famously took over on "Charlie's Angels" fromFarrah Fawcett,who was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, and died from the disease three years later at age 62 in 2009.

"If you find a little something in either of your breasts, don't ignore it," said Ladd. "It might be nothing. But go quickly and find out for yourself."

People-Lil Nas X

Judge Alan Schneider told the“Old Town Road” rapper and singeron Monday that if he sticks to his treatment program and obeys all laws for two years, his four felony counts will be dismissed.

The court found that the incident was the result of his since-diagnosed bipolar disorder and was an aberration from his usual behavior.

The program, formally known as postponement of prosecution probation, also requires that he not possess guns or threaten violence.

Authorities allege that the 26-year-old waswalking nakeddown a street in LA’s San Fernando Valley in August, and charged at police officers who were responding to calls about him. A criminal complaint says three officers were hurt. Photos and video apparently shot before the police confrontation showed him walking in the street in only white briefs and white boots.

He pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of battery with injury on a police officer along with one count of resisting an executive officer.

A few days later in a videoposted to Instagram, Lil Nas X, who was free on bail, said “these last four days have been terrifying” but reassured fans that he would be fine.

Outside court on Monday he toldRolling Stone, which first reported on the diversion agreement, that he is “thankful. Just very thankful,” and that it “could have been much worse.”

The District Attorney's Office did not respond to a request for comment.

The Atlanta artist is best known for 2018's country and hip-hop merging“Old Town Road,”which spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won him two Grammys.

Known for his genre-bending, innovatingsounds and style,Lil Nas X's first full studio album, 2021’s “Montero,” went to No. 2 on the Billboard album chart and was nominated for a Grammy for album of the year. Other hits have included “Industry Baby” and “Montero (Call Me by Your Name).”
