Jordan Ladd, born on January 14, 1975 in Hollywood, is the daughter of ‘The Mod Squad’ producer David Ladd and ‘Charlie’s Angels’ actress Cheryl Ladd. She joined the entertainment industry at age 2, appearing in a Polaroid commercial alongside James Garner, but it wasn’t until high school that Jordan Ladd made her debut in telefilms where her mom starred in, such as “The Girl Who Came Between Them” in 1990 and “Broken Promises: Taking Emily Back” in 1993.
In 1994, Jordan Ladd decided to look for work without her family’s help or influence. She successfully landed roles on independent films, such as “Embrace of the Vampire” and “Nowhere” and “Stand-Ins.” Despite trying to make it on her own in the industry, Jordan Ladd got to work with her mom again in the telefilm “Every Mother’s Worst Fear” in 1998. However, her breakthrough role came in 1999 as the tormentor of Drew Barrymore’s character in “Never Been Kissed.”
In 2002, after appearing in the Eli Roth thriller “Cabin Fever,” Jordan Ladd discovered her genre. From then on, she was seen on various thriller, mystery, horror and slasher films, such as “Club Dread,” “Madhouse,” “Inland Empire,” “Grindhouse,” “Death Proof,” “Hostel: Part II,” and “Grace.” In fact, she ranked #5 on Maxim's "Hottest Women of Horror Movies" list and has been included in the “100 Sexiest Women” list by Stuff Magazine.
Aside from being the queen of horror flicks, Jordan Ladd also played minor roles in comedy flicks and drama, such as “Boys Life 3,” “The Perfect You,” “Dog Gone Love,” “Waiting…” and the E! original movie “Best Actress.” On the small screen, Jordan Ladd has lent her voice for three episodes of “Robot Chicken” and has guest-starred on “Saved by the Bell: The New Class,” “Total Security,” and “Six Feet Under.”
