Cheryl Ladd made boys swoon in her tiny bikini during the opening credits of
Charlie’s Angels. Now she’s back on the beach in the October 5 episode of
CSI: Miami.
Still stunning at 58, Cheryl plays Amanda Collins—a cougar out to seduce surfer boys—and new series regular (and LeAnn Rimes squeeze)
Eddie Cibrian. “Eddie and I have an homage to Mrs. Robinson—and it’s hot! I’m getting paid to kiss cute boys,” coos Cheryl, who landed the sultry role after meeting Miami star Eva La Rue at TV Guide Magazine’s Sexiest Stars party last spring. (Do we get a casting fee?) “Eva was so enthusiastic about having me, and I jumped at the chance.”
In real life, Cheryl describes herself as “the antithesis” of a cougar. Married to husband Brian Russell for 28 years, she’s also had a longtime crush on John Forsythe (her former Charlie), now 91 and Cheryl’s neighbor up north of Santa Barbara. “I saw him two weeks ago and his wife, Nicole, is making his life as fun and exciting as it can possibly be.”
