jump from glamorous gumshoe on "Charlie's Angels" to grimy Kentucky coal miner in "Mantrip" -but, says Cheryl Ladd, well worth the effort. "I like this character," Miss Ladd says of the woman miner she plays in "Man- trip," a movie shot here recently for broadcast by CBS in the coming season. "It has a look, shooting in the mine," the actress says. "It's very different film, and interesting. And yet a very simple story." The cast and crew of "Mantrip" named for the low-slung cars that transport miners underground--spent in the eastern Kentucky mountains.

They filmed above-ground scenes around Paintsville, then lugged lights, cameras and sound equipment into a large Martin County Coal Corp. mine at Inez that produced 7,000 tons of coal a day wfiile they shot underground. Miss Ladd plays a waitress who goes to work in a mine when her father, played by Ned Beatty, is disabled by the miner's occupational dis- ease black lung. "When she has to support her father and her child," Miss Ladd says, "this is the only decent wage available." But miners harass the young woman as she tries to prove herself. Walter Doniger, the film's writer, producer and director, says "Mantrip" shows "the men on the crew learning to accept her, and she learning to accept the men.

And a mutual trust and respect finally begins to evolve." "I relate to her a lot, being from a smalHown myself," says Miss Ladd, 31, Who is from Huron, S.D. "She's very strong and has a lot of character. "I think it's good because it's so real. There are so many women, single mothers, who are in the job market and have to make their own way and also raise a family." The role is "much more substantial" than the part she had on "Charlie's Angels." She replaced Farrah Fawcett-Maiprs in the ABC series in 1977, and re mained with the series until it left the air after the 1980-81 season. "It's been a big challenge.

This is the most physically demanding thing I've ever done," she says of "Man- trip." "It's unbelievable -crawling around on my hands and knees in mud and on rocks for five hours. "Then we had to hurry through this one passage and my hat hit one of the roof bolts. I was going as fast as I could and it came down cracketfme across the nose. I thought I had broken my nose. "Then I got greased," she says.

"They covered me with grease from head to toe. Initiation, when new members of the mine come in. It's been quite something. "The coal miners that we've been working with (six are featured in the film) said they wouldn't do what I do for a living for anything in the world." And, says Miss Ladd, who will play Grace Kelly in another upcoming TV movie, says, "I don't think I could ever be a coal miner. I'm a little bit claustrophobic.

And I'm not terribly fond of rats." The 80-member 20th Century-Fox TV cast and crew caused a stir inside the mine. "M-A-S-H" tops Nielsens Rugged coaldust-covered miners added pocket cameras to their equipment belts, in case a star should go by. And filmmakers tramping through the dank corridors in muddy boots and hardhats picked up some mining talk. One eyed the roofbolts and wondered ominously if they were standing under "bad top." They weren't, says Ed Chafin, the mine's safety and training director. He was assigned to the film by Raymond Bradbury, president of Martin County Coal, who donated the space in hopes of showing safe, up- to-date mining.

"This is one of the most modern mines that there is," Chafin says. "You will not find a movie or documentary that is more authentic than this movie." "No one," Doniger adds, "has done a modern coal mine that I know of, showing big machinery at work, hav-' ing people know how to operate stuff and make it function during the course of the scene." A visitor, real-life miner Sandra Bailey, says, "It's good for women to see women portrayed in these jobs. They're like I was. I thought all I could do was be a waitress." LOS A A -Although it has been on the air for 11 years and undergone many changes in its cast of characters, "M-A-SH" remains as popular as ever, according to figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co.
