Early life

Jordan Elizabeth Ladd was born 14 January 1975 in Hollywood, California, USA, making her a third-generation actress in the Ladd family. Her mom Cheryl Ladd (nee Soppelmoor) was born on 12 July 1951, to an ordinary family completely unfamiliar with the life of fame Cheryl would create for herself and marry into, best known for being cast in the ABC (American Broadcasting Company) television series ‘Charlies Angels’ as Kris Monroe.

Jordan’s dad on the other hand was born into a family very familiar with fame. Actor David Ladd was the son of actress and talent agent Sue Carole, and actor Alan Ladd. Even her stepsister, Lindsay Russell aspired to be an actress, so it was hardly a surprise that Jordan followed in her famous family’s footsteps.

Early education

In 1993 Ladd finished high school and then attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Despite her family’s fame, Jordan managed to have a relatively normal life, commenting ‘When I was in high school, I used to go to the clubs, and of course that’s exciting. You want to drink before you can and get into places you can’t’ but said once she started her acting career she didn’t want to get involved in Hollywood’s nightlife.

Later that year Ladd played a movie star competing for an Academy Award in “Best Actress”, as well as appearing in the critically acclaimed film “Boys Life 3”. In the horror film “Cabin Fever” she was the victim of a virus that ate her flesh – the movie started filming very soon after 9/11, when talking about her experience she said ‘We shut down, we got up and running, and then we shut own again.

We just hoped to finish the move and hoped people would really understand and appreciate it.’ The movie was made on a budget of $1.5 million, but made $30.5 million and a huge profit margin at the box office.

In 2010, after five years Ladd was cast in the comedy “First Dates”, a movie that follows the dating lives of a few single people, but quickly went back to horror with “Murder on the 13^th Floor”, in which she plays a wife who exacts revenge upon finding out that her husband is cheating on her with their live-in baby-sitter.

2015 was the year Ladd appeared in an episode of “Scary Endings”, a YouTube horror series directed by John Fitzpatrick.
