Angel was a female Zappa fan, notable by her appearance in the concert film Baby Snakes, a registration of Zappa's Halloween concerts at the Palladium in New York City in October 1977.

In the film, Angel can be seen in the audience during Disco Boy, very obviously high on drugs. She has white make-up on and a fixated smile. Zappa sings very close to her face, kissing her a few times.

Later in the movie, she appears on stage during the Audience Participation/The Dance Contest moment (also known as Titties 'N' Beer/"Audience Participation"/The Dance Contest/The Black Page 2), where she introduces herself as Angel. She, along with Chris and Janet The Planet torture another audience member, Chris, with whips and a pitchfork, having to pretend being ""the president of Warner Bros. Records, the head of the Warner Bros. legal department, and two famous attorneys from Gang, Tyre & Brown.".

Angel is also listed in the film's end credits as one of "New York's Finest Crazy People".

It is unknown whether Angel was her real name or a nickname, nor whatever happened to her afterwards.
