Biography

Heather Grace Angel (9 February 1909 – 13 December 1986) was a British-American actress.Angel was born 9 February 1909 in Headington, Oxford, England. In the 1911 UK Census, the family is shown as living at 17 Banbury Road, Oxford along with three servants. She was the younger of two sisters. Her mother was born Mary Letitia Stock, and her father was Andrea Angel, an Oxford University chemistry lecturer and initially a don at Brasenose College and later at Christ Church. They were married in 1904 and, after the wedding, they moved to the Banbury Road. Andrea Angel was killed in the Silvertown explosion in January 1917, and posthumously awarded the Edward Medal (First Class). In his Will, he left his wife £374 and shortly thereafter, his wife moved to London with the two daughters. By 1929, when Heather was 19, she was already appearing with an overseas touring theatre company managed by Charles Bradbury-Ingles. The same record shows that she was living at 20 Queen Anne's Grove, London W4, when she left. Angel married actor Ralph Forbes in 1934. Angel had acted with Henry Wilcoxon in Self Made Lady (1932) when they were both in Britain, so when that year she had heard Wilcoxon was also in Hollywood, she contacted him again. She immediately invited him to polo matches at the home of Will Rogers, and she taught him horse-riding, and they later acted together in two other films: The Last of the Mohicans (1936) and Lady Hamilton (1941). Though they remained lifelong friends, they never married. Heather and her husband were both present at the wedding of Wilcoxon to his first wife and had wanted the wedding to be at their house in Coldwater Canyon. Angel was married to Robert B. Sinclair (1905–1970), a film and television director. On 4 January 1970, an intruder, Billy McCoy Hunter, broke into their home. When Sinclair attempted to protect Angel, Hunter killed him in her presence, then fled. He was allegedly found with a knife and pistol when arrested. The incident is believed to have been a failed burglary.
