Remember Nell's friend Angie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

with the funny voice. She was tall and was mostly on the earlier episodes. She tripped me out. They should have had her on more often. The actress that played her was also on an episode of Sanford where she played Bunny, who Fred took out to make Evelyn jealous. Remember she couldn't pronounce anything right.

I remember that ding-a-ling! The only thing funny about her was her voice! I'm still trying to figure out how she and Nell became friends?

Ahh yes... airhead Angie! I loved how she picked up a Rubik's Cube, and said that every time she tried to do something with it, all the colors would line up!

Or later that same episode, when Nell tries moving in with her, they sleep on a sofabed huddled under a blanket (she was on a rent strike and the landlord turned her heat off), so she puts headphones on (to keep her ears warm) but starts dancing and snapping her fingers! Nell takes the headset from her, discovers there's no music playing and asks her, "What's all this?" (complete with snaps and arm motions!). Angie replies in her squeaky voice, "It keeps the flies away!"

I think she appeared in only one other episode, when she was at a restaurant with Nell and Addy (I forget the plot of that one, though).

I was just gonna mention that episode where Neil stayed with Angie. That was funny, lol. The lady who played Angie was a good actress, wonder if she really sounded like that in real life?

I sort of remember Angie! My trivia-head friend Peter from Brooklyn knows so well about Angie, he actually imitates her voice, like saying "Hey Nell, this is Angie!"

OKCRay · 12-04-2005, 02:16 AM

Also from the rent strike episode, remember Angie's mantra when she got ready for bed? Imagine, if you will, her helium voice chanting:

"I am somebody, I am somebody, I am somebody, (glancing in mirror) I am some body!!!"

"Today is the first day of the rest of the day"

"Out with the bad thoughts, in with the good thoughts... oh, I just swallowed a bad thought!"

I'd forgotten all about Angie. That giggle of hers cracks me up.

Somebody e-mailed me today and told me she works as a receptionist. Her career in showbusiness was brief. She has mixed feelings about her experiences on Gimme A Break and Nell Carter.

Her and Nell made a great on-screen comedy team. They really should have had her on more, but once Telma Hopkins joined the cast we saw less and less of Angie.

I LOVED Angie, her giggle cracked me up. Also she was so dizzy but smart at the same time. She would say things and catch Nell off guard, Nell would give her a look like (How in the world did you know that). LOL

Looking at the episodes now Angie bares a striking resemblence to RuPaul.
