Of course she took over from Farrah Fawcett on Charlie’s Angels.
One of the frustrations the producers had with Fawcett is that she refused to wear a bikini on the show (despite the fact she started doing nude stuff years later). So when Ladd took over they apparently never got off her back about “put on a bikini.....we want you in a bikini....”
Her response to that was to show up on-set in a series of teenier and teenier bikinis, until the producers realized that Network Standards and Practices would never go for this and they had to yell “Stop, already!”
A very creative approach to the problem, I must say.
She wore a bikini that blended in with her skin color so she looked naked. She said she did this deliberately to get the notice of those standards guys. I also remember her wearing a small white bikini and a small red bikini. I liked it...... but she did not not want to wear one in every show.
The ratings would have been higher if she did : )
