Cheryl Ladd

Cheryl Ladd — the real-life actress and Charlie's Angels star — appeared as a fictionalized version of herself in Archie Comics during the height of her fame, crossing paths with Archie Andrews and other Riverdale residents in lighthearted celebrity-cameo stories.

A real-world celebrity cameo rendered in classic Riverdale style, Cheryl Ladd stepped into Archie Comics pages in 1979 — right at the height of her pop-culture fame — brought to life by the legendary Bronze Age team of Frank Doyle and Stan Goldberg. Her handful of appearances span titles like Archie Giant Series Magazine, Life with Archie, and Archie's TV Laugh-Out, placing her in delightfully entertaining company alongside Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, and even Josie McCoy herself. With only 9 catalog appearances across a tight 1979–1981 window, she's a charming, era-specific curiosity — the kind of breezy pop-moment crossover that makes Bronze Age Archie comics such a fun time capsule to dig through.
