Angel Tompkins (born December 20, 1942) is an American actress and Golden Globe nominee, who appeared in several films and television shows.[1][2]
Career
Angel Tompkins was a model in the Chicago area before being discovered by Woody Allen who sent her to Universal. She was signed and became part of the last Universal Contract Players. She started her television and film acting career in the late 1960s. She made her major film debut as the seductive blonde who came between husband and wife, Elliott Gould and Brenda Vaccaro, in the comedy I Love My ... Wife (1970) and was nominated for a Golden Globe.
She appeared in Prime Cut (1972) with co-stars Gene Hackman and Lee Marvin and newcomer Sissy Spacek as a co-star. She also appeared with Anthony Quinn in The Don Is Dead (1973), with former child star, Jay North in The Teacher (1974), and with Charles Bronson in Murphy's Law (1986). Tompkins was featured in the pictorial "Angel" in the February 1972 edition of Playboy Magazine; subsequently the magazine used her in three more editions, all presumably related to that film promotion.[3]
On television Tompkins appeared in the pilot for Search (1972), also referenced as "Probe", and appeared in many guest spots in shows, such as The Wild Wild West (1965), Mannix (1967), Dragnet (1969), Bonanza (1970), Police Woman (1970), Kojak (1977), Knight Rider (1982) and Simon & Simon (1981).
In 1988 Tompkins appeared with Ann-Margret in the film A Tiger's Tale,[4] and made her last film appearances in 1989 in Relentless (1989) and Crack House (1989). She also works in the commercial voice-over field.
In 1991 Tompkins was elected the national recording secretary of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).[5] She ran unsuccessfully for president of the guild in 1995.[6] In 1996, she received the most votes for the SAG Hollywood Board of Directors.[7] She ran for president again in 1999, changing her name to Angeltompkins so that her name would appear first on the ballot, and came in third.[8] In 2000, she proposed that members of SAG's partner union, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), vote to decertify the union and recertify as part of SAG.[7] She came in fourth in the 2001 SAG election, her fifth attempt.[9]
Personal life
She is married to television and film writer/comedy rewriter, Ted Lang. They have two children. Their homes are in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California.
