Charlie’s Angels (1977)
To the extent that Charlie’s Angels has become a globally familiar brand that inspired multiple remakes and reboots over the past four decades, much of the credit rightly belongs to Cheryl Ladd.
Of course the series made a huge pop culture splash in its first season when Farrah Fawcett-Majors’ face and form were on every magazine cover in the country (as well as a poster that sold more than 12 million copies). But Farrah was gone after that one season, and the show’s legacy would have been very different had she taken a sizable segment of the show’s audience with her.
Fortunately (and perhaps surprisingly), that didn’t happen. Season two actually posted higher ratings than it did with Farrah, and the show ran for another three years.

As Kris Munroe Cheryl was not Farrah - but she was beautiful and likable and fit in well with her established costars. Relations off-screen with Kate Jackson were less than cordial, but when the trio tackled cases together their camaraderie was believable. That was not always the case when Shelley Hack replaced Jackson.
