Trivia

Daughter of Cheryl Ladd and David Ladd

Was going to play the role of Amy Blue in The Doom Generation (1995), until her mother vetoed her playing the role, at last minute.

Had a breast reduction at age 16 in 1991

Granddaughter of Alan Ladd and Sue Carol.

One of her favorite horror films is the original When a Stranger Calls (1979). She said that she made the mistake of watching the film while babysitting her younger stepsister, Lindsay Walker, and swore off babysitting after watching the film.

Her ancestry includes Ashkenazi Jewish (from her paternal grandmother), English, German, and distant Irish.

She is a natural blond like her mother, but she dyes her hair black on occasions because she doesn't want people to recognize her as merely the daughter of Cheryl Ladd. She wants to get acting jobs on her own merit and talent. She appears in many of her films with dark hair, such as The Specials (2000) and Never Been Kissed (1999). However, she seems to have decided to stick with her blond hair in recent films like Cabin Fever (2002).
