 {{DEFAULTSORT:Watson, Angela}}
-Angela Watson was born a farmer’s daughter in a little town of 500 people, outside of Danville,
-Illinois. Her parents retired and moved to Southwest Florida when Angela was just ten years old.
-Her performing career had begun with tap dancing at the age of three, continuing into her pre-teens
-when she amassed over 200 trophies and 60 crowns competing in numerous beauty pageants. Angela
-quickly learned that even the best dancer had difficulty beating out a singer in the talent portion of
-those contests. Angela was determined to win First Place, thus her singing career was born. At age 13,
-she locked herself in her room, not appearing for days until she announced to her parents she would be
-singing Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight” in the upcoming pageant, and that she planned to win.
-And win she did!
-Her pageant success led to modeling in New York and Dallas, until she was discovered by a manager
-who advised her parents to take her to Los Angeles and give her a shot at television and film work.
-Her first national commercial was for McDonald’s, followed by Doritos, IBM and GE. Within her first
-year in California, Angela was cast in a recurring role on ABC’s “Davis Rules” with Jonathan Winters
-and Randy Quaid. The following year, Angela was handpicked to costar in the 90’s TGIF sitcom “Step
-by Step” playing Suzanne Somers and Patrick Duffy’s very vain and seemingly shallow, though with a
-good heart, teenage daughter “Karen Foster” for 7 seasons. The show has over 150 episodes currently
-streaming on Hulu.
-Even though a successful TV actress, Angela was far from an experienced Hollywood wild child, and
-unfortunately her innocence and naivete were taken advantage of by a so called “production partner”
-who promised to help her transition into an adult actor with longevity in the business. By the time her
-family and friends realized he was actually a con man who was brainwashing Angela, it was too late.
-Over the next 20 years, not only was Angela isolated from everyone she loved, but he also convinced
-her that she had to sue her parents for supposedly “stealing her money,” when in fact, he was the one
-fleecing her acting earnings. Her relationship with the narcissistic abuser turned into a daily nightmare she couldn’t escape from.
-Thankfully, Angela was able to secretly listen to some YouTube videos that she now knows was
-actually reprogramming her brain to choose to be happy despite her circumstances. After two years of
-doing so, she realized she had the courage and strength to break free.
-Angela says it was “by the Grace of God, and her mother’s unceasing prayers for her return,” that she is
-now joyfully reunited with her formerly estranged family and friends. This new chapter of her life has
-already kicked off with quite a bang, after accompanying her fiance to the optometrist, Michael
-Witherington, a songwriter at heart from Oklahoma. He asked Angela to record his catchy original
-song, “We Love Santa Claus,” with producer Julian Sundby, and Angela was delighted to sing the fun
-toe-tapping holiday tune.  Angela kicked off 2020 playing 8 different characters in a 6 week run of The Dining Room.
