Cheryl Ladd starred as Liane DeVilliers in the 1986 ABC television miniseries Crossings, an adaptation of Danielle Steel’s bestselling World War II romance novel. On the set and in character, her appearance featured glamorous, era-specific costuming, structured 1930s-and-1940s-style updos, and diverse outfits that highlighted her character’s dramatic journey from a wealthy ambassador’s wife to a wartime nurse.
For the pre-war scenes on the transatlantic ocean liner, Ladd wore elegant evening gowns, silk opera gloves, and diamond necklaces. As the plot advanced into occupied Europe, her wardrobe shifted to structured day suits, trench coats, and a traditional Red Cross nursing uniform.
She was frequently photographed on set alongside her main co-stars, Christopher Plummer (who played her older husband, Armand), and Lee Horsley (who played her lover, Nick). Directed by Karen Arthur and produced by Aaron Spelling Productions, the massive production required extensive period-accurate set designs and location shooting to recreate WWII-era New York, France, and luxury cruise liners.
