Angela starred in four Carry Ons, three of them as the romantic
interest set against the fumbling charmer played by Jim
Dale. In Cowboy she stars as the
sharp-shooter Annie Oakley, who trains Marshall P Knutt to get rid of the Rumpo Kid. In
Screaming she plays Jim’s girlfriend who gets turned into a shop window dummy. In
Follow That Camel, she is Lady Jane Ponsonby, who travels to the desert in search of her
intended, Beau Geste, and encounters many men on the way, who want to ‘punch her
ticket’. Her final Carry On is Up The Khyber in which she plays Princess Jelhi,
daughter of the Khazi of Kalabar, who falls for the dashing English officer, Captain
Keene, played by Roy Castle. In all of her roles she plays an innocent young lady on the
surface but underneath she is full of passion and willing to fight for what she wants. She
started out as a teenage actress in repertory and continued on to play in stage shows and
films. She reduced her acting commitments to concentrate on her home life, when she
married Kenneth More, but returned to work after his death. She also added writing to her
accomplishments, publishing her autobiography and contributing to newspapers and
magazines. She still makes appearances on some TV shows such as Give Us A
Clue. |
