Cheryl Ladd, no relation to Diane Ladd to supercharge this thread

(neither woman was a Ladd by birth, Diane was actually a Ladner)

She was great in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

I didn't know she was born in Laurel.
I always think of these Steve Forbert lyrics when I hear the name.

Well I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town yeah
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She is a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Not that it matters, but she’s a Meridian Native really. She was born in Laurel only bc her parents were visiting family during Thanksgiving.

This is interesting to me only because I was born in nearby Hattiesburg but my family is from Meridian.

Now we can all sleep at night.
