Cheryl Ladd Reveals How Jaclyn Smith Supported Her Through Secret Breast Cancer Battle

Ladd said the diagnosis was an aggressive form of breast cancer and credited doctors and her husband for helping her through treatment.

  • On Monday, April 6, Charlie's Angels star Cheryl Ladd, 74, publicly revealed a past battle with breast cancer during a 50th-anniversary reunion panel at PaleyFest in Los Angeles.
  • Ladd described her illness as an "aggressive form" and a "humbling experience," crediting her "wonderful" team of doctors and her husband, Brian Russell, for their support throughout treatment.
  • Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson, both fellow breast cancer survivors, appeared on the panel; Smith revealed she immediately sent Ladd wigs to support her during treatment.
  • Ladd urged the audience, "If you find a little something in your breasts, don't ignore it," while Smith noted, "Early detection is the key."
  • The reunion highlighted the show's legacy, as multiple lead actresses have battled cancer, including original star Farrah Fawcett, who died from the disease in 2009 at age 62.
