Kris Munroe was portrayed by Cheryl Ladd. She worked for the Townsend Agency for four seasons of the show's entire five season run (1977-1981), taking the place of her big sister Jill when she left the Agency.

Although not an original character, Kris gained fame and popularity equal to the other Angels, leading her to be included as a major character in the series, when other replacement characters (Tiffany Welles, Julie Rogers) are not. Kris Munroe is the younger sister of former Townsend Agency detective, Jill Munroe. As revealed in the title sequence, she also studied to be a policewoman and was similarly handed low risk assignments, although in San Francisco, and not Los Angeles.

Kris is at most age 24 when she joins the show, as Jill herself was 24 in season one. When Jill left the Agency to become a race car driver, Kris was recruited after Jill's departure, and was a rookie in every sense: Well-meaning and eager, but a bit naïve and wet behind the ears (despite being a trained cop). Still, she threw herself into the cases happily, and her quirky nature meant she relished going undercover in flamboyant roles such as ice-skater, clown, and even a circus knife-thrower's assistant.

	Kris is noticably less sophisticated than the other Angels, has a stronger accent and seems more gullible. The first few episodes, she has to prove herself to Sabrina Duncan and Kelly Garrett.  As she becomes accepted by her co-workers, Kris becomes more glamorous and loses her "little sis" persona.

 She was also mortified the first time she had to shoot someone, but as her innocence faded (and after being the Angel most likely to be kidnapped), she matured to eventually tell her kidnappers to "Go to Hell!"

In fact, she arguably became the most popular Angel and had the most episodes centered on her. Petite and owning lots of "va-voom", her blonde hair and proclivity toward bikinis didn't hurt either. If Sabrina was the "smart" Angel, Kelly the "sensitive" Angel, and Jill the "sporty" Angel, Kris is the "fun" Angel. Unlike her older sis, Kris does not exhibit the same natural talents in the area of sports.

In the episodes that Farrah Fawcett appeared as Jill Munroe in seasons 3 and 4, little interaction occurred between the characters, stunting the development of the sisters' relationship. In one episode, Kris is kidnapped by a villain who counts on Jill to rescue her. Jill and the other Angels track her down, but their reunion scene is extremely brief.

Past: Kristine Munroe is the child of an alcoholic and holds onto sentimental items from her rough childhood. Kris says that when she was in Jr. college, her first professional job was playing in Sweet Misery as Jenny.

Fashion: Bikinis, bikinis an bikinis. Kris also loves fashion clothes, very tight pants, haute couture dresses and high heels. When on vacation, she is seen wearing shades with a (very small) bikini, always going barefoot.

Romance: Kris seemed the most likely to become romantically involved with someone she encountered on the job. She had a fun, even aggressive attitude toward men. She didn't repress her feelings or attractions. Unfortunately, like the other Angels and even Bosley, they almost always were exposed as a felon.

	Car: Kris drives a white Cobra II with two blue stripes with license plate number CALIFORNIA 436-YEB. When Jill left the Charlie Townsend Agency, Kris inherited her car and also Jill's white beach house. When the Townsend Agency moved in Hawaii in Season 5 she owned a Black Chevrolet Convertible with the license plate number 7F-88441.

Covers and Techniques: As her sister Jill did before her, Kris tended to take the "inside" covers with Kelly while working on the case, while Sabrina took "outside" roles. Some of her covers included beauty pageant contestant, surfer, a nude beach visitor, ice-skating clown, roller-skating, disco dancing, yoga, tennis, Swedish movie star, trucker, Keystone Cop, assistant/target to a circus knife thrower and cheerleader. She also appears as a singer in a couple of episodes, giving Cheryl Ladd a chance to showcase her singing talent. (Cheryl was an accomplished singer and released two albums in the late 70's and sang the national anthem prior to Super Bowl XIV).

Why did she leave: The Townsend Agency folded
