On April 6, ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star Cheryl Ladd spoke candidly about her past breast cancer diagnosis during a panel celebrating the iconic TV series’ 50th anniversary. The celebration took place at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, where she reunited with her former costars, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson.
"Mine was an aggressive form," Ladd shared, referring to her diagnosis. "I had wonderful doctors."

The actress emphasized the importance of being transparent about her experience, as her ‘Charlie’s Angels’ costars have also been affected by the disease.
