A native New Yorker now based in Los Angeles, Angelica skillfully balances her work in theater, film, and television—prioritizing theater. She has developed numerous projects at the renowned Actors Studio in New York, where she is a lifetime member and board director. Angelica staged Eugene O'Neill's classic "Anna Christie," taking on the title role under the direction of Tony nominee Wilson Milam. The initial workshop ran to sold-out audiences in New York and Los Angeles, earning praise from Cindy Adams as "magnificent," leading up to the eagerly awaited full production set for 2013.
Her award-winning solo play "Edge" earned her an Outer Critics Circle Nomination for Best Solo Performance in 2003. The play has received critical acclaim in New Zealand, Australia, Texas, Miami—where she won the New Times Award for Best Actress in 2005—and Los Angeles, following a triumphant sold-out run in London.
Angelica was honored with The Helen Hayes Award for Best Actress in 2000 for her lead role in the Tony Award-winning "Sideman" at the Kennedy Center. This followed her 1999 New York People's Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress for originating the role of Patsy in the same production. She earned a second Helen Hayes Award nomination for Best Actress in 2010 for her acclaimed portrayal of Ivy Weston in the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning "August: Osage County" (First National Broadway Tour). The Chicago Tribune described her performance as "revelatory" during the Steppenwolf production’s run in its home city.
On television, Angelica has distinguished herself by portraying sympathetic, tragic characters with apparent ease, such as Julia Brinn on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (2005), where her final confession was filmed in a single take. Her extensive TV credits also include "Law & 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).
Angelica’s film career has continually challenged her range as both a character actress and leading lady. Her debut film role was Ruby in Robert Benton’s "Nobody's Fool" (1994), opposite Paul Newman. She has since taken on leads, supporting roles, and cameos while balancing her stage commitments. Notably, her brief but impactful two-minute performance as the emotionally distant Mrs. Collins in "The Sixth Sense" has resonated with audiences worldwide.
Her supporting roles include Vitka, a stuttering Polish prostitute in Amos Kollek’s "Fast Food Fast Women" (2000); Dierdre, an ambitious waitress in the Oscar-nominated "The Contender" (2000); the alluring grifter Patty opposite John Travolta in "Domestic Disturbance" (2001); and the lust-driven Roberta in Michael Imperioli’s "The Hungry Ghosts" (2009). Films like "The Mouse" (1996) with John Savage, "Mint Julep" (2010) alongside David Morse and James Gandolfini, and "Lucky Days" (2010) have cemented Angelica’s reputation as a transformative talent cherished by directors, critics, and audiences alike.
From shy housewife to volatile manipulator to love-stricken virgin, her film roles showcase her remarkable versatility and profound emotional depth. "Lucky Days" is Angelica’s first film produced by her own company, which she also wrote, co-directed, and starred in.
Most recently starring on Broadway in "The Best Man," Angelica is currently developing "Turning Page," a new play about her mother, the legendary Geraldine Page. This project began at the Actors Studio and moved to an exploratory Off-Broadway run at The Cherry Lane Theatre. She is also working on a book and documentary about her mother, planned for completion this year.
Angelica Page is a lifetime member of the Actors Studio and serves on its board of directors. She actively raises funds for the charities PAVE and The Trevor Project through Musical Momentum and is developing an arts foundation dedicated to supporting emerging artists.
