Heather Angel

Christine called me from New York last night. She asked me why I was still up. I told her I tried to watch the Academy Awards, but, it was like someone slipped me a Micky Finn. I was out like a light. The last thing I recall was going for my remote.

“Why am I watching and listening to this dude sing a country western song? How did I get suckered into this? Must change channel. Must change channel.”

Christine started laughing!

“Me too! It was very boring. I just woke up!”

Because we have known each other since 1967, we get to do the ‘Things are not like they used to be’ routine with one another. Sometimes we make things up. But, that show was a disaster. Everyone had “dead eye” due to not being able to read the prompter. No one rehearsed reading it. They were seeing their words for the fist time. Watching cats follow the play-feather with their eyes on Youtube was infinitely more rewarding.

“The whole lot of them should be fired. How dare they bore us like that. They can’t do their job – even though they are paid millions.”

“They are just like Congress, who are ignoring the truth about Chem-trails which is causing the wretched weather we are having here.”

I would like to blame it on all the drama the world is having right now, and thus we are bored with make-believe – except for ‘The Sniper’. We all want to get behind the crosshairs and off those Muslim bastards who have declared Jihad on Hollywood, too. Imagine what Hollywood will look like in the future if ISIS takes over. If they redo the movie ‘Lifeboat’ then the actress would be wrapped head to toe.

Heather Angel was a professional actress who starred in Hitchcock’s ‘Lifeboat’ . John Steinbeck wrote the screenplay. I am into my autobiography, so I may not be posting as much. I will post on actresses who knew how to do their job.

Heather Grace Angel (9 February 1909 – 13 December 1986) was an English actress.

Angel was born in Headington, Oxford, England,^[2][3] and was brought up on a farm near Banbury. Her father Andrea Angel was killed in the Silvertown explosion in 1917 and was posthumously awarded the Edward Medal (First Class).

She began her stage career at the Old Vic in 1926 and later appeared with touring companies. She appeared in many British films before going to Hollywood. She made her first screen appearance in City of Song. She later had a leading role in Night in Montmartre (1931), and followed this success with The Hound of the Baskervilles (1932). Over the next few years, she played strong roles in such films as The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1935), The Three Musketeers (1935), The Informer (1935) and The Last of the Mohicans (1936). In 1937 she made the first of five appearances as Phyllis Clavering in the popular Bulldog Drummond series.^[4] She was cast as Kitty Bennett in Pride and Prejudice (1940) and as the maid, Ethel, in Suspicion (1941). Angel was also the leading lady in the first screen version of Raymond Chandler‘s The High Window, released in 1942 as Time to Kill. She was one of the passengers of Alfred Hitchcock‘s Lifeboat (1944).^[4] Her film appearances in the following years were few, but she returned to Hollywood to provide voices for the Walt Disney animated films Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Peter Pan (1953).

She later played a continuing role in the television soap opera Peyton Place^[4] from 1964 until 1965. After that role, she played Miss Faversham, a nanny and a female friend of Sebastian Cabot‘s character of Giles French in the situation comedy Family Affair.

Angel was married to Robert B. Sinclair (1905–1970), a film and television director. On 4 January 1970, an intruder broke into their home; when Sinclair attempted to protect Angel, the intruder killed Sinclair in Angel’s presence, then fled.^[5] The incident is believed to have been a failed burglary.

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for her contributions to films, at 6312 Hollywood Boulevard.

Angel died from cancer in Santa Barbara, California, and was buried in Santa Barbara Cemetery.^[6]
