I'm watching this tv movie called "Dead Before Dawn", starring Cheryl Ladd, made in 1993. I must say she really is quite good. She's very believable and compelling and does not seem motivated by the ego. She does not overdo the dramatics and there are personal, little touches that add to overall effect. Ladd was also good in "Poison Ivy". Farrah, on the other hand, was not really anywhere as effective or believable in any of those 1980s tv movies where she played the victim. Farrah always had this undercurrent in those roles of being pissed off. She projected too much anger, where it did not feel appropriate and she only drew attention to herself. She was always acting, always "on". I found it rather unappealing. Okay, she was pretty good in "The Burning Bed", not bad, but in all the others, she was offputting and oddly unlikable. In dramatic roles, Cheryl Ladd was much better than Farrah. Now, having said that I think Farrah Fawcett Majors was delightful as Jill Munroe and she showed a genuine gift for light comedy. Then it was like she turned on herself and began to self-destruct when she threw down a stop sign in the wake of her success. Just wish she hadn't done that to herself and to those who loved her. And, yes, Cheryl was good on CA as little sister, Kris, she did a very decent job on that show. But what Cheryl didn't have that Farrah had massive quantities of, was the flair and the effervescence and the charm. Oddly enough, for me, anyway, it was Ladd's proficiency that left her as the blandest of the Angels to me. Okay, well, Jaclyn was probably the blandest, really, due to not projecting any humor whatsoever, but Jaclyn was an integral part of the show's magical first season, so that bumps her up to my 3rd favorite Angel. So, each of the ladies had their own thing they did better. Which ability/gift do you find more impressive? Cheryl's acting chops vs. Farrah's natural magnetism? Also, which girl did you think was more physically attractive? Might as well ask that question, too! Does anybody care to share an opinion?
