Dylan Sanders (‘00-'03) Born Helen Zaas, Dylan never knew her father, and her mother died when she was 5 years old. She grew up on the street, and dated a member of the O'Grady clan, until she witnessed him murder someone. When she testified against him, she was placed in the Witness Protection Program, and changed her name to Dylan Sanders. She later joined the a police academy, but decided it was best to leave after punching her superior. Other jobs held by Dylan before joining the Townsend Agency include being a professional wrestler named “Lady Insane”, rodeo entertainer, bartender, yoga instructor, and driver of monster trucks. Dylan finally found her family when Charlie offered her a place among the Angels. She looks up to Charlie as a father she never had, and would do anything to protect her loved ones. The rebellious Pisces tries to find good in everyone, which often leads to love in all the wrong places. But when crossed, Dylan is an incredible force to be reckoned with.

Drew Blyth Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975 into a royal family of Hollywood. In fact, Drew’s grandfather is John Barrymore, and the family serves as the inspiration for the Broadway production, “The Royal Family”. Her first job was a dog food commercial at 11 months old. Drew grew up fast, and attending Hollywood parties at the age of 9 isn’t a good thing. She was smoking by 9, toking by 12, and coking by 13. After a couple stints in rehab, a failed suicide attempt, a three month stay with singer David Crosby, and a legal emancipation from her mother, Drew was headed onward and upward. She started getting adult roles (some in her early teens) such as Poison Ivy with Cheryl Ladd. Other great films starring Drew include E.T., Firestarter, Ever After, Mad Love, The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, 50 First Dates, and Grey Gardens. In '95, Drew formed Flower Film Productions with friend Nancy Juvonen. Drew was a fan of the original Charlie’s Angels series, stating her favorite episode as “Angel On Wheels”, and she quickly acquired the movie rights after Flower Films was established. Whip It, a film about roller derby, marked Drew’s feature film directorial debut…coincidence?  After two Charlie’s Angels films, she reportedly pitched a new Charlie’s Angels series several times, and finally the new series aired on September 22, 2011. That date marked the 35 year anniversary of the first episode of the original series. 

Drew is the guardian angel of Angel fans, and I personally couldn’t begin to thank her enough for reviving my favorite franchise. After two fresh takes on the premise and 11+ hours of entertainment, she has proven that she truly is a kick-ass Angel!

Alexandra “Alex” Munday (‘00-'03) was an Angel that really had it all. Alex’s parents were both professors at Harvard, and their finances afforded Alex a well-rounded education. Alex went from gymnastics and chess competitions to spending her teenage years abroad learning levitation from a Tibetan master, dancing with the Stuttgart Ballet, and bomb-diffusing from a Parisian spy. She was also a pioneer in the development of laptop computers. If that doesn’t impress you, she was also an on-call consultant for NASA, and a skilled neurosurgeon. The one area Alex can’t seem to dominate is the kitchen. She wants very badly to be the next Martha Stewart, but instead she ends up with “Chinese Fighting Muffins”.

Lucy Alexis Liu was born December 2, 1968 in Queens, New York. She was raised to study hard and work hard, which worked in her favor. Lucy’s first big role was as the devastatingly funny Ling Woo on Ally McBeal, followed by Kill Bill, Cypher, Chicago, 3 Needles, Kung Fu Panda, Dirty Sexy Money, Elementary, and the Broadway play God of Carnage.

Natalie Cook (‘00-'03) was definitely a nerd in high school, with “Leia-buns” and braces in tow, which made her seemingly unaware of her incredible beauty. “Nat’s” mother was a veterinarian, and her father wrote “The Cook Anthology of Science Fiction”. Before becoming an Angel, Natlie’s life involved winning the game-show Jeopardy, getting a Ph.D from M.I.T., and jobs including spokes-model for Lincoln-Mercury, research scientist, and U.S. Navy test pilot. She has a penchant for anything that goes fast. Jets, cars, surfboards…she can handle it. Natalie has champagne hair to match her bubbly personality, and as a party favor, she can open a bottle of bubbly using a sword.

Cameron Michelle Diaz was born on August 30, 1972 in San Diego, California. Cameron attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School, with classmate Snoop Dogg. At 16, she was signed with Elite Model Management, began globetrotting, and was on the cover of Seventeen at age 17. Cameron audition for her first movie role at 21, for The Mask starring Jim Carrey. She got the part with no education in acting, and immediately began acting classes. By 2003, she was the highest paid actress in Hollywood. Memorable roles of Cameron’s include The Sweetest Thing, My Best Friend’s Wedding, A Life Less Ordinary, There’s Something About Mary, Gangs of New York, Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky, Shrek, The Counselor, and Bad Teacher. Cameron also produced and starred in a reality series for MTV called Trippin’, aimed at showing the fragile nature of the environment.
