Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spooky Owl!" data-source="post: 389057" data-attributes="member: 57984"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/16/31/52/163152e0131c4fbb3d5e710cecfff9d4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The bitchy beauty of her Aquarius Rising face. I saw an interview not-too-long ago with Kate with a mid-length mid-'80s hair bob (it was recorded later) and several posters commented that they initially thought it was Victoria Principal.They make great slappers, though. On screen and off.Everyone thought Kate didn't like Cheryl, and Kate's never denied it. Perhaps she had her reasons, perhaps not. But anyone like Kate, despite her prickly intelligence, who would self-destructively marry the likes of Andrew Stevens -- an obvious mismatch, to be generous -- is lacking a core sense of self. So no one should have been surprised when he went after her bank account "with a Brink's truck and a broom" (his lawyer sent a cease-and-desist letter, telling her not to say such things) during her divorce.As I stated above, one of her ANGELS producers opined that Kate derived "great pleasure" in her own remoteness (and he wasn't referring to her sense of privacy), while even good buddy, Jaclyn Smith, once said that Kate "can, on occasion, be a bully" which, coming from famously gracious Smith, is the equivalent of calling someone the C-word.Why did she dislike Cheryl Ladd, such that many days Kate wouldn't even speak to her on the set, including during Cheryl's difficult transition period into the show as the de facto replacement for Farrah Fawcett? Such that even Smith was afraid to be too nice to Cheryl, lest she incur Kate's wrath (silent wrath, I'm guessing)?We'll never know the subtleties that go on, often non-verbally, between two people. There was probably some nuanced characteristic that Ladd displayed that Kate didn't trust or approve of. Or perhaps Ladd's vulnerability when she was first introduced into the show sparked Kate's primal "bully" instinct, complicated by Kate's possible concern that the show might not work after Fawcett took off.But I suspect Kate Jackson's biggest dislike was of herself. And perhaps she had reasons to feel that way, too.</blockquote>
