Angela is American born actor and singer who is also the wife of rock guitarist Andy McCoy. Angela was born August 12, 1964 in North Hollywood, California. In addition acting and singing, she also works as a model, a music promoter, a songwriter, and a scriptwriter.
Her first modeling job was for the charity USA for Africa. She is on the inner sleeve of the album modeling the clothing. Since then her modeling career has included swimsuit modeling and Gilda Marx projects via Madonna's Boy Toy line of clothing.
Angela has been in several music videos, such as David Lee Roth's "California Girls" and "Just a Gigolo", "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, and "Strung Out" by Andy McCoy's band Live Ammo. Angela has also had roles in few movies. Her first movie was 1985's Night Train to Terror, where she played a singer/dancer.
The first time Angela sang professionally was in Sweden in 1993. Andy McCoy started a band called Live Ammo and Angela joined in. She does the lead vocals for the track "Fox Field Junction". Her second effort as a singer was in 1997 with a second coming of Andy's first punk band called Briard. Angela duets with her husband Andy on the song "River of Dreams".
Angela and Andy began working together on a feature film and soundtrack in 1997 called The Real McCoy. The project was nominated for an award at the Berlin Film Festival and another from Sodankyla Film Festival in Finland. It was also up for an award in São Paulo, Brazil. The movie took almost three years to make after Andy had a serious accident when he fell off a balcony in the middle of filming. The film has since gone on to be a cult classic along with the soundtrack. The film has had critical acclaim and praise from the press, with favorable reviews in the New York Times and Billboard.
In 2003 Angela and Andy had their own weekly TV show on the MTV3 Network titled "The McCoys Show". 18 episodes were produced. The series boasted approximately 1,000,000 viewers per episode in Finland, 20% of the population.
In early 2006 Angela was elected as the president of the Womens Self Defense Association International (WSDAI), Finland Chapter. It's a training organization for women to learn self defense techniques with the goal not to attack but to defend.
