- Angela Stevens was born on May 8, 1925 in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, California, USA. She was an actress, known for Le tueur au cerveau atomique (1955), Femmes hors-la-loi (1952) and Without Warning! (1952). She was married to George F. Zika. She died on March 17, 2016 in Canyon Lake, Riverside County, California, USA.
- SpouseGeorge F. Zika(? - January 12, 1999) (his death, 2 children)
- Retired abruptly from acting in the early 1960s to take care of her ailing 15-year-old son, Joe, who tragically broke his neck after diving off a pier and hitting a sandbar. She nursed him for 23 years until his death at the age of 38.
- Sought $36,500 in damages from the owners of a dress shop who allegedly allowed a "wild and vicious" ocelot to attack her. The suit is filed against the operators of Carole Chris of California, a North Hollywood women's apparel store. Angela claimed she suffered forearm and leg bites which left disfiguring teeth marks and caused her to lose a part in the film La police était au rendez-vous (1955). The case was settled in September 1956 out of court. The amount of settlement was not disclosed.
- Attractive, shapely blonde leading lady who fell into acting during the early 1950s in order to earn extra money.
- According to a "Classic Images" interview of Angela by Michael Barnum, she developed a fondness for monkeys and apes while filming two "Jungle Jim" movies. She later had a gibbon ape as a pet.
- Never had an acting lesson.
- I really had no desire to be an actress. People used to stop me on the street, photographers mostly, and ask me if I'd pose for them. So I was doing that for nothing until someone suggested I ought to be getting paid for it.
- To me, it was just work. You go, you say your horrible lines, you get paid. I am glad I did it though, and it is something fun to talk about if anyone should ask, although I don't normally mention it otherwise. It was a section of my life that was interesting and I was glad I took part in it.
