Alexandra "Alex" Munday is one of Charlie's Angels and one of the Townsend Agency's top agents in the early '00s, alongside Natalie Cook and Dylan Sanders. Thanks to her impressive martial arts skill, electronics and explosive expertise, and strategic thinking, Alex is arguably the most versatile of the trio.

Growing up in a wealthy family, Alex was raised by her parents — both Harvard professors of philosophy and economics. As a child prodigy, she soon forged her own path, excelling in sports like gymnastics, chess, fencing, archery, and equestrianism. By the age of 13, she was already academically surpassing her parents and spent her teenage years traveling the world, learning everything from levitation with a Tibetan guru to safe-cracking with a Parisian double agent, even dancing with the Stuttgart Ballet.

But that's not all. Alex was also an aerospace engineer, consultant to NASA, and an early pioneer in creating laptops. During her time as an angel, she further hones her skills in espionage, motocross, archery, rodeo, hacking, physical therapy, and even neurosurgery. She's fluent in several languages including Finnish, German, and Mongolian. (Talk about accomplished.)

Like Natalie and Dylan, Alex prefers to use strategy and her martial arts skills to take down enemies and never uses guns during her missions. While Alex and her fellow angles are no longer working for the Townsend Agency, their legend lives on.
