Biography
The British-born actress Vanessa Angel began her career at age 16
as a model when she was discovered by world renown agent Eileen
Ford. She admits to gaining life experience when, at such an early
age, she relocated to New York, traveled the world and appeared on
magazine covers from "Cosmopolitan" to "Vogue." Angel's transition
from modeling to acting came rather suddenly when, in 1985, she was
chosen by director John Landis to play a Russian spy in the film,
"Spies Like Us." She quickly mastered a Russian accent and was
later featured in the Paul McCartney video of the same name. A
versatile actress who has studied under Sondra Lee and Frank Casaro
at The Actors Studio in New York, Angel has had roles in the
feature films, "Killer Instinct, " "King of New York, " "Stop Or My
Mom Will Shoot" with Sylvester Stallone and "Sleep With Me" with
Eric Stoltz and Meg Tilly. In 1994, she co-starred on the
theatrical film, "Cityscrapes" - a tragic story of young adults
with dysfunctional relationships who live in Los Angeles, and she
just finished a co-starring role in the upcoming feature film
"Kingpin, " with Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid. In addition to
her work on film, Angel has guest starred on several television
series including, "Melrose Place, " on which she played the
recurring role of a bisexual model, and "Reasonable Doubts." She
was also featured in the Jackie Collins mini-series "Lady Boss" and
the high-rated USA Network movie, "The Cover Girl Murders."
