Angela's year of the stars

ACTRESS Angela Grant arrived at Heathrow today convinced that 1977 will be her year. “My astrologer told me.” Angela said as she flew in from Switzerland where she spent the New Year. She could be right, Angela ended with a major role in the film What’s Up Nurse? And next week she begins filming her first starring role in the thriller Spectre.

Who better for your swan song than Sinatra

ACTRESS ANGIE GRANT is just back from a coast-to-coast American romance with KIRK DOUGLAS’S son PETER, 28. It stopped off at all important points. Says Angie, 33 : “Please don’t make me out like BRITT EKLAND, but Peter and I were in Los Angeles, New York and that Florida place , Key West.” Now, however, love’s great adventure has ended, but in some style. Angie tells me : “We’re now just good friends, but before I flew home, Kirk and his wife gave us both a special dinner party.” So special indeed that FRANK SINATRA and his wife BARBARA turned up as surprise guests. Of course, if you are going to bust up, there’s nothing like having OI’ Blue Eyes warble the swan song.

Angie takes a break

YES, with that grass stalk in her teeth she looks cheeky… almost smug. And why not? - for 22-year-old Angie Grant is enjoying a well-earned two-week holiday in the sunny Canary Islands. Angie came from Leeds to London to dance in two West End musical productions. Then she studied acting at the famous Actors Workshop and was soon landing TV and film roles. She has appeared in seven films, and having just finished a part in Zeta 1 she reckoned she had earned herself a holiday in the sun.

Stopping Traffic

Model-turned-actress Angie Grant is a bust girl and she needs her rest. In recent months she’s completed seven movies and is now filming her eighth, “Percy.” The trouble is the traffic that’s been rerouted through her once quiet mews off Belgrave Square and, says Angie, “It’s terrible trying to sleep.” So, all for a good nights rest, she’s walking around the neighbourhood getting a petition to stop the traffic… and traffic-stoppers don’t come much better than Angie!

The Casting-Couch

THE casting-couch, so beloved of erstwhile Hollywood moguls, is not yet dead as the delicious ANGIE GRANT (above) discovered to her cost.
