                 ANGEL TOMPKINS

                 BIOGRAPHY
 

                         Angel Tompkins is a tall, willowy, blue-eyed blonde divorcee, with soft 
                 flowing locks on whom a lot of Hollywood smart money is riding as a cinch 
                 winner; an attractive lovely girl with a fine sense of humor, often tinged 
                 with truth, a girl who once said:

                         "I live in a garbage can 'cross the street from Bob Hope with my son Troy, 
                 two dogs, seven puppies, one cat and a house-full of love."

                         In truth, Bob Hope's neighborhood is the exclusive Tolucca Lake district, 
                 her house was a two-bedroom affair with live-in housekeeper, its walls 
                 covered with paintings done by friends.  Now she has moved to a similar 
                 bungalow at the Malibu colony, where garbage cans carefully are 
                 screened-off from view by residents.

                         Born in Albany, California, Angel (short for Angeline) currently portrays 
                 the role of Gloria Harding, continuing guest-star in "Search" (formerly 
                 "Probe") series.  She is in charge of medical telemetry at  Probe Control, 
                 but current episodes see her "emerging from behind the console" to enlarge 
                 her role as star Hugh O'Brian's feminine interest.  These are in the Leslie 
                 Stevens Productions-Warner Pros. Television one-hour segments for 
                 NBC.  O'Brian, Tony Francisoa and Doug McClure star in the season's series, 
                 with various guest-stars added.

                         Early on, Miss Tompkins decided her inclinations were slanted toward show 
                 business - and she decided there were a couple of ways to break into 
                 it.  One was to model, move into commercials, then television and on to 
                 films.  Another was to model in New York, move to Europe, become a screen 
                 siren there, then move back to the United States.  Her choice was the 
                 former route.

                         With her father in the construction business, Miss Tompkins had bounced 
                 around the country as she followed his profession and finally settled in 
                 Phoenix, Arizon where she attended high school.  Even then, the 5' 7" 
                 blonde was unusually attractive.  Winning a local beauty contest 
                 preparatory to entering the Miss Universe Contest at 16, she was judged too 
                 young to compete in the finals.  However, she was awarded a trip to 
                 Hollywood for an interview with Ben Bard, then talent head at 20th Century-Fox.

                         Bard advised that she return home and continue her education in college 
                 prior to coming back.  "It was the best advice I've ever received," says 
                 Miss Tompkins.  After high school, she enrolled in speech and drama courses 
                 at the University of Texas, and transferred to the University of Illinois 
                 before taking up modeling in Chicago.

                         A Chicago catalogue house signed her as its image-maker and traveling 
                 spokeswoman.  Touring the country for the firm, she was considered 
                 important enough to its business that the company insured her for $1,000,000.

                         When Miss Tompkins conceived an idea to co-host a Chicago TV show, she 
                 left modeling to devote her talents to "Ted and the Angel," a one-hour 
                 ad-lib, talk and interview show on WCIU-TV.

                         This brought about an invitation to Hollywood from a studio and she won a 
                 part after a first reading.  Afterward, she returned to Chicago, packed her 
                 bags and returned west.  During the following eleven months she appeared on 
                 "Dragnet," "Wild, Wild West," "Here Come the Brides," "The Good Guys" and a 
                 Walt Disney featurette, "Hang Your Hat on the Wind."

                         She marked her feature film debut in "I Love My Wife," but continued to do 
                 guest-starring roles on such series at  "The Name of the Game," "Bonanza," 
                 "The F.B.I.," "Love American Style," "Mannix" and "Ironside."

                         Says Miss Tompkins, who writes in her spare time, "I love what I'm doing 
                 as an actress.  The challenge, the suspense, the excitement of making good 
                 films is worth more to me than achieving pinnacle success."
