| '''Kris Munroe''' is one of six female fictional private detectives in the 1976-1981 television series '']''. She was portrayed by ]. She worked for the Townsend Agency for four seasons of the show's entire five season run, taking the place of her big sister ] when she left the agency. Although not an original character, Kris gained fame and popularity equal to the other Angels<ref></ref>, leading her to be included as a major character in the series, when other replacement characters (], ]) are not. Co-star ] said, "She had to fill a big pair of shoes, and she did it with confidence".<ref></ref> | |||
| ==Character biography== | |||
| 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 ]woman and was similarly handed low risk assignments, although in ], and not ]. 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 ], Kris basically shows up for the job. Kris is noticeably less sophisticated than the other Angels, has a stronger ] and seems more gullible. The first few episodes, she has to prove herself to ] and ].<ref></ref> As she becomes accepted by her co-workers, Kris becomes more glamorous and loses her "little sis" persona. In fact, she arguably became the most popular Angel and had the most episodes centered on her. Petite and owning lots of "va-voom"<ref></ref>, her ]e hair and proclivity toward ]s didn't hurt either . If Sabrina was the "smart" Angel, Kelly the "streetwise" Angel, and Jill the "sporty" Angel, Kris is the "fun" Angel. | |||
| ===Covers and techniques=== | |||
| As her sister 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 ] contestant, ], a ] visitor, ] clown, ] ], ], ], assistant/target to a ] ] and ]. She also appears as a ] in a couple of episodes, giving ] 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 ]). | |||
| Kris seemed the most likely to have a romantic or sexual relationship 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 ], they almost always were exposed as ]s. Kris is the child of an ] and holds onto sentimental items from her rough childhood. 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!"<ref></ref> | |||
| Kris inherits her sister's white ] Cobra II's with blue stripes, and lives in Jill's white ]. When on ], she is often seen wearing ] with a ]. She loves ]s, ], ] and boywatching. | |||
| In the episodes that ] appeared as ] in seasons 3 and 4, little interaction occurred between the characters, stunting the development of the sisters' relationship. In one episode, Kris is ]ped by a ] who counts on Jill to rescue her. Jill and the other Angels track her down, but their reunion scene is extremely brief. | |||
