The award-winning actress

on her "adrenaline rush" before a stage performance, according to her, if one is devoted and committed to the profession, then it is impossible not to feel any anxiety before a performance.

Angela's dedication stems from the fact that she was inspired by her father's death to act more responsibly and support her mother and other siblings.

The Hollywood star claimed that her father's death affected her a lot, as she withdrew from her interests in school. However, it acted as a blessing because she towed in her mother's line, by taking acting seriously as a profession, therefore earning her first role at 17.

The actress married Richard Cromwell, but their Union hit rock bottom a few months later. Her second marriage to Peter Shaw lasted over five decades until his death in 2003.

The duo had two children, a son, Anthony, and a daughter, Diedre. Angela and her husband soon realized in the 60s that their kids were mixing with the wrong groups and taking on bad habits.

The parents sought a way to strip off the drug abuse lifestyle which their children were involved in, and fortunately, after they moved their residence, it curbed the children's habits.
