Ann-Margret suffers painful injury in home accident at 84 years old
Ann-Margret isn’t hitting the brakes — even after her latest painful fall.
The legendary Hollywood star revealed she recently broke her elbow after an accident at home, offering a candid update on her recovery.
"I fell the other day and so now my right elbow is broken," Ann-Margret told Parade magazine. "That’s OK … I have fallen so many times. I don’t intend to, but I do! What can I say?"
ANN-MARGRET STILL RIDES HER HARLEY-DAVIDSON: ‘I LOVE SPEED’
The 84-year-old star was forced to cancel an autograph signing as she recovers, but made it clear she’s already moving past the injury.

For longtime fans, the incident echoes a far more serious accident decades ago. In 1972, Ann-Margret fell 22 feet from a stage during a performance — a terrifying moment that could have ended her career.

Meanwhile, Ann-Margret has proven she is a veteran actress over a six-decade run in Hollywood.
From electrifying roles in classics like "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Viva Las Vegas," the Swedish-American star has built one of the most versatile careers in entertainment. Along the way, she’s racked up five Golden Globe Awards, an Emmy win for "Law & Order: SVU," plus multiple Oscar and Grammy nominations.
Off-screen, she’s also made her mark — including traveling to Vietnam in the 1960s to perform for American troops.
In 2024, Ann-Margret was still embracing life in the fast lane — literally. The actress revealed she still rides her beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a passion that dates back to childhood.
"It’s lavender, and it’s got white daisies all over it," she told People at the time. "There [are] flowers on the back fender and the front fender. … I love speed. Not the drug."
Her love of motorcycles runs deep. "It was my daddy who inspired me to ride," she previously told Fox News Digital, recalling childhood rides across borders. "There’s no way I could forget that motorcycle."
Bryson DeChambeau implodes on 18th hole at the Masters with triple bogey to miss the cut
Bryson DeChambeau was one hole away from playing the weekend at the Masters.
DeChambeau, 32, was 3-over heading into the 18th hole and below the cut line at 4-over but imploded at the very end.
DeChambeau’s errant tee shot ended up in the pinestraw under a tree. He punched out from under the tree, but hit it too strongly, as the ball rolled into the bunker right by the green.

At this point, DeChambeau needed an up-and-down to shoot par and play into the weekend, setting up a critical bunker shot. DeChambeau tried to land his bunker shot just on the edge of the sand trap for it to roll onto the green.
Instead, he landed it at the top of the ridge of the bunker, and the ball rolled back down the bunker. DeChambeau, stunned by the shot, turned and looked at his caddie in disbelief.
Needing to hole out his second bunker shot to miraculously save par and his Masters chances, DeChambeau made it out of the bunker, but nowhere close to the hole as his ball rolled off the green and onto the fairway.
RORY MCILROY TAKES LARGEST 36-HOLE LEAD IN MASTERS HISTORY AFTER INCREDIBLE FINISH TO SECOND ROUND
The California native chipped the ball to 12 feet from 24 yards out before two-putting for triple bogey.
The triple bogey brought DeChambeau to 6-over and behind the cut line. It was the first time he had missed the cut at Augusta since 2023.
DeChambeau was not the only notable name to miss the cut, as last year’s U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun also missed the cut at 5-over.
Spaun’s missed cut was even more surprising because he won the Valero Texas Open last Sunday.
Rory McIlroy leads the Masters at 12-under, taking a historic six-shot lead into the weekend as he looks to win his second straight title at Augusta.

As missiles light the sky, she boards a one-way flight to Dubai
As war grips Iran and air defenses in the United Arab Emirates intercept waves of incoming missiles and drones, one American chose to leave Miami for Dubai. It's a decision she does not regret.
"I actually had the opposite experience of me asking myself if I made the right choice... I was like so excited to be here," she said in an interview.
Rikki Dimitriadis, an American hairstylist originally from New York whose move has attracted media attention, moved to Dubai on April 1 and spoke with Fox News Digital about her decision and how she’s felt since relocating.
Dimitriadis said she wasn’t concerned about regional tensions, pointing to her experience living in New York during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
MAJOR AIRLINE SUSPENDS ABU DHABI FLIGHTS UNTIL END OF YEAR AMID AIRSPACE 'UNCERTAINTY'
"I trust the government of the UAE to keep people safe," she said. "I think I trust it more than America right now."
Dimitriadis described her move to Dubai as a "no-brainer," citing safety and the lack of income tax. She said she feels comfortable walking alone late at night and even leaving her belongings unattended in public, something she referred to as the "Dubai theory."
"I came here last summer, and… I saw the hospitality, how clean it was and how safe it was," she said.
She explained why she left Miami and why she believes in Dubai she will be "surrounded by better people."
STATE DEPARTMENT REVEALS WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES FOR AMERICANS
Although Dubai is also known to be a home to influencers and glamour, Dimitriadis thinks there are key differences.
"Dubai and Miami are very similar, but I would say Dubai is more of a mixture of New York, Vegas, and Miami," Dimitriadis said. "The only difference is the people. I'm a hairstylist, so I love the influencers. I don't mind that. But these people have respect for themselves, and they're not running around doing crazy things like you would see in Miami."
AMERICANS WARNED OF POTENTIAL ATTACKS IN VACATION DESTINATION AS BORDER CROSSING EXIT FEE DOUBLES
Dimitriadis said financial factors influenced her move. She said she was able to partially furnish her apartment, travel and line up a job doing hair.
The journey from Miami to Dubai took 32 hours, after her original flight was canceled. Dimitriadis said the trip "was not easy," but she was determined to make it.
Upon arrival, she described the Abu Dhabi airport as "beautiful." As the plane approached landing, she said she wondered what she would see, but was met with clear skies.
Dimitriadis didn't feel nervous when receiving missile alerts on her phone.
"I've gotten alerts on my phone and still went along my day, people are living their lives, there's traffic, the mall is full, the restaurants are fun," she said.
INFLUENCERS IN DUBAI CLAIM IT'S 'SAFER HERE' THAN US, DESPITE IRAN ATTACKS
Dimitriadis shared a story about when she received an alert at a café and people were amused.
"When I did get the alert, I was in a café and people were laughing, but you don't feel the fear here, which I think is important," she said.
Even while living in the Middle East, Dimitriadis doesn't believe she moved closer to danger.
"I don't look at it like that," she said. "I see this as a new chapter of my life in a beautiful place with beautiful people, and I'm super excited to start this journey. The war doesn't really even cross my mind, to be honest with you."
According to Dimitriadis, it would only take a missile landing "a mile away" for her to even think about returning home.
Dimitriadis emphasized that she feels comfortable as an American living in Dubai, and expressed that she has received kind treatment from others.
"When I went over the summer, everyone was so welcoming," she recalled. "People know I'm moving, they're reaching out, making sure I got in OK."
Dimitriadis wants Americans not to live in fear and, if they want to take a leap of faith, they should.
As of April 6, 13 people have been killed and more than 200 have been injured in the UAE as a result of Iranian strikes in the region, according to Khaleej Times and Anadolu Ajansı.

Self-proclaimed ‘prophet’ with underage ‘wives’ exposed after couple he trusted helped uncover abuse ring
A self-proclaimed prophet with more than 20 "spiritual wives," including underage girls, was exposed after a couple gained his trust and secretly documented his world for investigators.
The harrowing story behind Christine Marie and her husband Tolga Katas’ operation is now being told in the Netflix docuseries "Trust Me: The False Prophet." It features behind-the-scenes footage of the couple later working with law enforcement as informants. Their efforts helped expose Samuel Bateman’s child sexual abuse ring and contributed to the 2022 raid that led to his arrest, along with several of his followers.
Authorities say that Bateman tried to start an offshoot of the FLDS based in the neighboring communities of Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, The Associated Press reported. The fundamentalist group split from the mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after Mormons officially abandoned polygamy in 1890.
Bateman declared himself the successor to self-proclaimed prophet Warren Jeffs, who arranged marriages for followers, including underage girls, and had as many as 80 "spiritual wives." Jeffs was convicted in Texas in 2011 of sexually assaulting underage followers and sentenced to life in prison.
Behind bars, Jeffs ordered his followers to no longer marry or have children and later became increasingly silent, paving the way for Bateman to assert himself as his heir.
"There were so many things that surprised me about Christine and Tolga’s experience," Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Rachel Dretzin told Fox News Digital.
"First of all, the fact that they were able to gain access to the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), which is one of the most closed communities in the world, is astonishing and very unusual. The fact that they had managed to gain the trust of Sam Bateman, who allowed them so deeply into the world — the very private world he had created — was very surprising."
Christine Marie, a cult expert, was raised in the Mormon faith. The 65-year-old said she survived an abusive marriage with a man who considered himself a prophet, People magazine reported. She and Katas moved to Short Creek in 2016.
The Nevada couple, who met Bateman in 2017, filmed him and members of his group, including his so-called "wives," from 2019 through his 2022 arrest. Eleven of Bateman’s adult followers have also been convicted of charges related to a child sexual abuse conspiracy.
Bateman was intrigued, eager for recognition. He opened his doors to the couple, granting them access to film his home, gatherings and interactions with his followers.
"Sam is a megalomaniac who really enjoys the attention," Dretzin explained. "He craves it, and couldn’t resist the idea that there were these outsiders with cameras who were so interested in what he was doing. I also think Christine has an incredible, uncanny ability to build trust with people, give them the sense that she appreciates what they’re doing, even if she doesn’t."
"She was a very good actress," Dretzin said. "And I think many of Sam’s wives also craved a female presence that was an outsider because, whether they knew it or not, they were in a terrible position."
FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X
"People are born into the FLDS," Dretzin explained. "They don’t join it. So, they have no other life experiences. And they’re trained from birth to believe that the prophet speaks directly with God and to obey whatever the prophet tells them to do."
Bateman attended Jeffs’ 2007 trial as a supporter. Dretzin said the connection gave him legitimacy among followers.
"I also think [Bateman] preyed on vulnerable people, women who had been raised from birth to believe that their only value in life was to have children and who had been forbidden to have children," said Dretzin.
"When Sam said that Warren was giving them permission through him, they were hungry and vulnerable. They believed him."
Federal investigators said Bateman coerced underage girls into sexual acts with himself and others and arranged for some victims to be abused by other adult followers. They noted that Bateman and others transported the victims between states to facilitate the sexual abuse, which continued until his arrest.
An affidavit filed in federal court alleged that Bateman conducted video calls in which participants were nude and engaged in sexual acts. According to court filings, Bateman also described a so-called "Binding of Brothers" ritual involving sexual acts with followers’ wives.

Julia Johnson, the wife of Moroni Johnson, an early follower of Bateman’s, began secretly meeting with Christine Marie in July 2022, sharing firsthand accounts of Bateman’s crimes.
Christine Marie learned that Moroni urged his wife to give several of their daughters, including two who were underage, to Bateman as wives. Johnson recalled telling her husband, "We’re following a false prophet, and he’s leading us right to hell, and I’m not going to go there anymore."
"[Julia] was questioning from the beginning," said Dretzin. "But again, these women are taught from birth that they have to obey their husbands and their prophet. And so, Julia was in a very difficult position. But you see in the footage Julia finds her voice, which is an incredibly profound experience as a viewer."
Christine Marie and Katas quietly gathered evidence as Bateman grew more comfortable around them and let his guard down. He regularly invited them to dinner in his home, where up to 22 women occupied a single bedroom, People reported.
"Sam truly thought he could get away with anything he wanted, and the sky was the limit," said Dretzin. "And the grandiosity of his imagination is somewhat breathtaking. He honestly believed that the Queen of England would see the footage of him and his wives and want to join his tribe.
"How do I explain it? I think he was a narcissist who was in a closed system in which everybody around him was kowtowing to him and, whether they wanted to or not, making him feel like he was the king. And that goes to your head. And he lost all limits."

"Sam, behind closed doors, from what I understand, was harsher with his wives than what you see when the cameras are on," she said. "Sam knew enough to exert that and use that to control his women."
Warren Levi, the son of Moroni and Julia Johnson, held a secret meeting with Christine Marie and Katas, as shown in the documentary. He tells them: "Starting in 2019, Sam married seven of my sisters, ranging in age from 20ish, down to nine years old. ... Every one of them referred to him as the devil.’"
Prosecutors said victims were transported across state lines, including in cramped conditions, to facilitate the abuse. According to an FBI affidavit, Bateman drove two Bentleys while pushing failed business ventures in real estate and coaching services.
Bateman’s grip on power began to unravel after Christine Marie and Katas provided key evidence that contributed to a broader federal investigation.
In 2024, Bateman was sentenced to 50 years in prison for coercing girls as young as nine years old to submit to criminal sex acts with him and other adults, and for scheming to kidnap them from protective custody, The Associated Press reported.
According to the outlet, he had pleaded guilty to a yearslong scheme to transport girls across state lines for his sex crimes, and later to kidnap some of them from protective custody.
The documentary also revealed that Moroni pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit trafficking of a minor for sexual purposes and was later sentenced to 25 years in prison. Moroni and Johnson are no longer together.
Some of Bateman’s wives no longer associate with him, while others remain in touch.
"Being behind bars, in some ways, turns them into martyrs," she said. "There’s a whole religious belief system around the prophet being punished by the law … and it can reinforce their power."
"[But] Warren has, in recent years, been very erratic in his contact with his followers," said Dretzin. "I know he’s in touch with his family, which is an enormous number of people because he had 78 wives and hundreds of children. But sometimes he disappears for long stretches of time. … But many people still believe that what Warren Jeffs says is coming directly from God and must be followed to the letter."
Leaving the FLDS isn’t just difficult — it means going against everything you’ve ever known.
"I can’t think of another situation like a cult that you’re into where you truly believe God knows everything that you’re doing and the prophet knows everything that you’re doing," she said.
"Even if you have negative thoughts, they’re going to know. And leaving that culture, standing up against that culture, going to the media, which is seen as the absolute worst thing you can do, it takes so much strength, so much courage, so much independence of thought."
‘The Madison’ star Elle Chapman says 8-mile hikes, horse rides in Montana kept her ‘grounded’
"The Madison" star Elle Chapman has found what works for her wellness routine while starring in her biggest role yet.
During an interview with NewBeauty, Chapman opened up about how she was able to stay grounded while starring in the Taylor Sheridan show.
"We filmed part of 'The Madison' in Montana, and exploring the beauty of the state was incredible. I’d recharge with hiking areas like Fairy Lake, The M, Peets Hill and the Gallatin National Forest," Chapman began.
She continued, "I think one day Patrick J. Adams and I hiked eight miles! Also, thanks to our show's head wrangler, Jason Owen, I was able to ride horses on the weekends. That mix of nature and physical movement kept me grounded."
'THE MADISON' STAR MATTHEW FOX ADMITS WHY HE DITCHED HOLLYWOOD AT THE HEIGHT OF 'LOST' FAME
While spending time in Montana filming "The Madison," the young actress became "obsessed" with hot yoga.
"I absolutely hate it when I’m doing it, but it's a perfect reset. While filming in Montana, I found a spot in Bozeman called Bend & Beyond that would kick my a--, but I always felt incredible afterward!" she told the outlet.
Chapman stars as Paige McIntosh, the daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell's characters. During an interview with The Mirror, Chapman opened up about how her own history with loss influenced her performance as Paige.
TAYLOR SHERIDAN SAYS HOLLYWOOD DIDN’T BELIEVE IN YELLOWSTONE, NOW IT’S A TV EMPIRE
"For me, the show was very heavy because I lost my father when I was young, but it was also cathartic in a way because I was reliving some moments sometimes," she told the outlet in March.
Chapman echoed these sentiments during an interview with Town & Country. "We both share a lot of grief," she said of her character. "I have been through that; I’ve been through losing your father and feeling like your whole family’s falling apart."

"Not only are these characters grieving, but they’re also being stripped away from what they know," she continued. "That’s what grief feels like. When you lose someone, it feels like your entire world has shifted and changed, and that’s what these characters are going through, literally. They are being ripped away from the New York City comforts."

She also told The Mirror that working with Pfeiffer reminded her of her own family.
"Michelle’s performances always bring out some different things in you and in one take I started crying and after we cut I couldn’t stop crying," she said. "I apologized and said 'I’m sorry, I can’t get out of this'. It was something she said that reminded me of my dad."

Chapman continued, "She [Michelle] said 'It’s okay, baby. You are an artist and this just means your instrument is working', and I just really took that home and I don’t think I will ever forget that moment, especially for a rookie to experience something like that."
The 26-year-old star told NewBeauty that she remains calm in the chaos by reaching out to her family.
"In overwhelming moments, what grounds me is reconnecting with what truly matters to me—whether that’s calling my grandmother or little sister, or taking time to draw in my sketchbook or play guitar," she said. "I ground myself by doing something that makes me feel safe, which is usually art or music-related if it’s not loved ones."
"The Madison" premiered on Paramount+ on March 14.
Machete-wielding suspect claiming to be 'Lucifer' shot by police after allegedly stabbing 3 at transit hub
The New York Police Department (NYPD) said an officer shot and killed a suspect who claimed to be "Lucifer" in Grand Central Terminal while allegedly attacking three people with a machete on the subway platform.
Officers shot and killed 44-year-old Anthony Griffin after he advanced towards them with a machete, ignoring over 20 warnings to stop, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a Saturday press conference.
Officers responded to a 9:40 a.m. 911 call of an assault in progress at the train station. Upon arrival, they found Griffin wielding the machete, police said.
Griffin was "repeatedly stating that he was Lucifer," Tisch said.

After Griffin refused orders to drop the knife, one officer discharged his service weapon and shot him twice, she added. Griffin was transported to a local hospital and died.
Griffin had three prior unsealed arrests but no history of being an emotionally disturbed person, Tisch told reporters.
The three stabbing victims were an 84-year-old male, a 70-year-old female, and a 64-year-old male. All three were transported to local hospitals but are all in stable condition.
The 84-year-old sustained face and head lacerations, the 65-year old man sustained similar injuries in addition to an open skull fracture. The 70-year-old sustained shoulder lacerations.
Two NYPD officers were also taken to hospitals with minor injuries.

Tisch lauded her officers for taking action while admonishing the dangers of violent crime.
"Random acts of violence scare everyone. Anyone can be a victim of random violence and that is why it is so important for New Yorkers to understand that the NYPD has recently upped our presence in the transit system," Tisch said, while saying the NYPD added 175 additional officers last month.
The 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains are skipping the Grand Central Terminal 42nd St. stop while the NYPD conduct an investigation, the Metro Transit Authority (MTA) told Fox News Digital.

Iran's supreme leader severely disfigured by US strikes: report
Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is severely disfigured after suffering leg and face injuries as a result of joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Tehran in February, Reuters reported Saturday.
Khamenei is recovering after incurring the injuries in the February 28 airstrikes that killed his father, former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei. He has not been seen publicly since being hospitalized.
Despite the injuries, Khamenei allegedly remains "mentally sharp," Reuters reported, citing a trio of anonymous sources within his inner circle. The new supreme leader is in communication with the Iranian delegation in Pakistan for peace talks with a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance.
The Reuters report corroborates an earlier statement from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who told reporters on March 13 that Khamenei was "likely disfigured."
IRAN POSTPONES TEHRAN FAREWELL CEREMONY FOR KHAMENEI WHERE LARGE CROWDS WERE EXPECTED TO GATHER
He then reiterated the claim in a Thursday press conference while outlining the U.S. military's achievements in Iran.
"Their top leadership was systematically eliminated, their previous Iranian supreme leader dead, the supreme national security council secretary dead, the supreme leader office advisor dead, the supreme leader military office chief dead, the defense minister no longer with us, the IRGC commander dead, the armed forces general staff commander dead, the intelligence minister dead, the IRGC navy commander no longer here, the IRGC Intel chief dead," Hegseth listed.
"I skipped over a bunch, and I could go on and on and on, to include the new — so-called new supreme leader, wounded and disfigured. This new regime was out of options and out of time, so they cut a deal."
NEW IRANIAN SUPREME LEADER 'LIKELY DISFIGURED,' HEGSETH SAYS
Despite his weakened condition, Khamenei vowed to put up resistance in a defiant written statement Thursday.
"Iran is not seeking war but will not forfeit its rights and considers all resistance fronts as a unified entity," the statement read.
Hegseth dismissed the statement as "weak" in his March press conference.
EXILED IRANIAN CROWN PRINCE SAYS REGIME IS 'CRUMBLING' AFTER KILLING OF KHAMENEI, OTHER LEADERS
"It was a written statement. Iran has plenty of cameras and plenty of voice recorders. Why a written statement?" Hegseth asked. "I think you know why. His father, dead. He's scared, he's injured, he's on the run and he lacks legitimacy. It's a mess for them. Who's in charge? Iran may not even know."
Sources reportedly told Reuters that Khamenei could enter the public spotlight in a month or two, but only if "his health and the security situation allowed.
While many publicly question where and when we may see the supreme leader again, Iranian hardliners stress the importance of him keeping a low-profile.
"Why should he appear in public? To become a target for these criminals?" an Iranian militiaman asked Reuters in a text message.
‘Charlie’s Angels’ star Cheryl Ladd defied producers with ‘tiniest bikini ever’ to make her point
Cheryl Ladd found herself slipping into so many bikinis on the set of "Charlie’s Angels" that she decided to take matters into her own hands.
In 1977, the actress took on the role of Kris Munroe in the iconic series after producer Aaron Spelling chose her to play Farrah Fawcett’s younger sister. The series, which followed the adventures of a glamorous detective agency, starred Jaclyn Smith, David Doyle, Kate Jackson and Fawcett, who was leaving that year. The show aired until 1981.
"He liked me in a bikini," Ladd, 74, said about Spelling at the Paley Center’s PaleyFest L.A. panel celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Charlie’s Angels."
GINA GERSHON WALKED AWAY FROM CULT HORROR FRANCHISE OVER 'EXPLOITATIVE' TOPLESS SCENE
The star admitted she wore so many two-pieces in scenes that "it was starting to p--- me off."
"I thought, ‘OK, how am I going to get out of this?’" Ladd recalled at the panel. "So, I went out and bought the tiniest little bikini ever seen on television at that point."
Ladd knew it wouldn’t pass ABC censors. She did it anyway.

"We filmed, and I heard Aaron’s not happy," she said.
"At first, somebody came and told me Aaron said, ‘Tell the little troublemaker that she’s never going to do that again,’" she said. "And I didn’t. But I made my point. And when I was wearing a swimming suit, it was something I felt comfortable in."
"Well, our ratings went up!" Smith, 80, quipped.
Spelling died in 2006 at 83.
Things got serious at the panel. For the first time, Ladd opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis.
"Mine was an aggressive form," Ladd, who was accompanied by Jackson and Smith, said. "I had wonderful doctors. But I was bald for quite a while. It was a humbling experience."

"I have a wonderful husband. All through it, he was there for me at every turn, and that makes a difference," Ladd said, referring to her husband, Brian Russell. "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."
Not only do the three women share an unbreakable bond through their experience on the show, but they are all cancer survivors.

"It just connects you because you know what they’re going through," Smith, who was also diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent radiation treatment in 2002, said during an interview on the "Today" show. "And that’s when I talk about the power of girlfriends."
When Ladd disclosed her diagnosis to her friends, Smith said she immediately empathized.
"The first thing I did was send her my wigs," Smith shared. "She was so brave. She did have a very aggressive form [of cancer]."
"It’s really important to understand and embrace not being afraid of getting a mammogram," Jackson, a two-time breast cancer survivor, added. "Early detection is key. Find it early enough, and you’ll probably be all right."
Ladd, Jackson and Smith also paid tribute to Fawcett, who appeared as one of the main Angels in the first season of the series. The actress died in 2009 at age 62 following a battle with anal cancer.
"Oh, I feel so proud. I feel appreciative. I feel we did something right," Smith told Fox News Digital ahead of the panel. "And I feel I'm still standing here. And life has been interesting. It's been a beautiful journey. Truly, I have two beautiful kids, a great husband and three granddaughters. So I'm riding high. And, you know, I think things are — 'Charlie’s Angels' was meant to be. I have no regrets."
In 2021, Ladd opened up to Fox News Digital about her meaningful friendships with her former co-stars.
"It’s really interesting because when you do something so specific, so iconic, and you are in it when it was huge — it is something you can explain to people, but until you’ve done it, it is different," she continued.
"We think back often about how crazy that time was. We had to go into restaurants through the back door. We weren’t prepared for how much people would love the show. It was wonderful, but it was wild."
Despite achieving fame in Hollywood, Ladd said her faith in God has always played a significant role in her life.
"It has been all of it," she said. "I knew who I was as a young girl. I would climb to the top of the tree and talk to God all the time. It has been an interesting path — a lot of good, a lot of bumps, a lot of tough learning moments.
'CHARLIE’S ANGELS’ STAR KATE JACKSON SAYS FAME DESTROYED HER PRIVACY AND FORCED HER OUT OF HOLLYWOOD
