- Actress
- Director
- Writer
A native
New Yorker who lives in Los Angeles, Angelica continues to balance her
contribution to theater, film and television-in that order. Developing
many works at the legendary Actors Studio in New York where she is a
lifetime member and serves on its board of directors, Angelica mounted
Eugene O'Neill's classic "Anna Christie" and tackled the title role
under the direction of Tony nominated Wilson Milam. Sold out exclusive
engagements of the first workshop hailed as "magnificent" by Cindy
Adams, in New York and Los Angeles have preceded the highly anticipated
full production slated for 2013.
The award winning solo play "Edge" garnered her an Outer Critics Circle
Nomination (Best Solo Performance 2003) and has enjoyed critically
acclaimed runs in New Zealand, Australia, Texas, Miami (New Times Award
Best Actress 2005) and Los Angeles after its triumphant, sold-out run
in London.
Angelica received The Helen Hayes Award (Best Actress 2000) for
assuming the lead role in the Tony Award-winning "Sideman" at Kennedy
Center. This followed closely after being honored with the New York
People's Choice Award in the Best Supporting Actress category (1999)
for her portrayal of Patsy, a role she originated for the same
production. Nominated for her second Helen Hayes Award (Best Actress
2010) for her critically praised portrayal of Ivy Weston in the
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning "August:Osage County" (1st
National Broadway Tour), Angelica's performance was heralded as
"revelatory" by the Chicago Tribune when landing in the Steppenwolf
production's home turf.
In television, Angelica has made her mark by playing sympathetic tragic
figures with seemingly effortless ease as in her role as Julia Brinn in
"Law and Order Special Victim Unit "(2005). Her final confession was
filmed in one take. Her numerous other television credits include "Law
and Order", "Criminal Intent", "The Sopranos", "100 Centre Street", "In
The Line of Fire, D.C.", "As The World Turns", "Songs In Ordinary Time"
(CBS), "Ruby's Bucket of Blood" (Showtime) and "Talk To Me" (TNT).
The films Angelica has appeared in have unceasingly stretched her
character work as well as her leading lady capacity. In her first film
appearance in Robert Benton's "Nobody's Fool" (1994), Angelica played
opposite Paul Newman in her cameo as Ruby. Leads, supporting leads and
cameos followed as she balanced her dedication to her stagecraft with
screen work. "The Sixth Sense" proved one of the most notable cameos
with a screen time of only two minutes for her performance as the
emotionally barren Mrs. Collins - a role that has captured the
imagination of a generation.
Supporting roles include the Polish stuttering prostitute Vitka in Amos
Kolleck's "Fast Food Fast Women" (2000), the fame hungry waitress
Dierdre in the Oscar-nominated "The Contender" (2000), smoldering
grifter Patty opposite John Travolta in "Domestic Disturbance" (2001),
and the lust-filled youth hunting Roberta in Michael Imperioli's "The
Hungry Ghosts" (2009). "The Mouse" (1996) opposite John Savage and
recently released "Mint Julep" (2010), also starring David Morse and
James Gandolfini, and "Lucky Days" (2010) have secured Angelica's
reputation as a transformational force that captures the hearts and
minds of directors, critics and filmgoers everywhere.
From mousy housewife to mercurial manipulator to love torn virgin,
these film roles illuminate her unfathomable versatility and bottomless
capacity for emotional depth. "Lucky Days" marks Angelica's first film
produced by her film company. She wrote, co-directed and stars in this
debut.
Angelica Page who most recently starred on Broadway in "The Best Man",
is currently developing "Turning Page", a new play about her mother,
the legendary Geraldine Page which began in development at the Actors'
Studio before moving to its exploratory Off Broadway run at The Cherry
Lane Theatre. Angelica has also dedicated herself to a book and
documentary about her mother to be completed this year.
Angelica Page is a lifetime member of the Actors Studio and serves on
its board of directors. She is actively involved raising funds for the
charities PAVE and The Trevor Project through Musical Momentum, and is
developing a foundation for the arts to foster emerging artists.
