Angela Featherstone

Angela Featherstone (born 3 April 1965) is a Canadian actress, writer, director, and advocate for children in foster care.

Within a year of emancipating herself from foster care at age 17, Featherstone became Canada's top model when her September Flare magazine cover broke all previous records for sales. She quickly expanded upon her success and left for New York, where she signed with the illustrious Click models and later would be one of the first models signed to Next. She would travel the world in the 80s as a top fashion model.

Featherstone is best known for playing the titular maid on the Seinfeld episode called The Maid, Chloe in Friends, and Robbie's fiancée Linda in The Wedding Singer. Most recently, she played the role of Maggie on Showtime's Ray Donovan and Jame on HBO's Girls.

Featherstone has created sitcoms for Sony, DreamWorks, and NBC television and has written nonfiction for Time, Jane, Flare, Huffington Post, Dame, and Zoomer. Her essay about childhood trauma, "God Said No", was published in the 2014 edition of Gargoyle magazine and nominated for the Pushcart Prize. In 2021, she published the essay "Forgiveness" in Dame magazine.

An alumnus of UCLA Extension Writer's Program "Personal Essay & Memoir," she is completing her memoir.

In 2022, Featherstone began directing with her debut seven-minute film, L'Étranger. As a director, she uses her years of experience in fashion as a model, working with important photographers and magazines (such as Italian, French, and American Vogue; Mademoiselle; Seventeen; Sassy; Harper's Bazaar Italia; Grazia; Harpers & Queens; Albert Watson; Bruce Weber; & Irving Penn), her love of cinema and decades in the film industry, a refined sense of story as an oft published essayist, her passion for philosophy, and a love of creating safe spaces for collaboration.

In 2011, she curated Fuck Pretty, a critically acclaimed photography exhibit at the Robert Berman Gallery - featuring emerging female photographers.

She recorded the song "Coattail Glide" with Raymond Pettibon and the band The Niche Makers in 2011.
