I absolutely LOVE Angie Bowie. Im currently reading her book Lipstick Legends at the moment and she is HIGHLY intelligent. Has a wide range of knowledge about the history of androgyny, drag, feminism and alternative fashion. People say she just used Bowie for success but this woman has got brains and really did actually help style and create the David Bowie everyone knows and loves. She helped design outfits, get gigs and really encouraged him to push boundaries. She helped HIM get famous.
Angela or Angie will always be a part of the life and history of David ! She got him a contract for Mercury records for Space Oddity she loved him dearly and got married to him because she needed a work permit for GB to work for DB ( she is born in Cyprus ) It was Bowie who asked her btw , nothing wrong with the happy times between 2 talented open minded young people creating the beginning of a huge change in music fashion sexuality and racism ! Duncan ( Zowie ) Jones is their son born in 1971 ( cooks of Hunky Dory " will you stay in our lovers story ) ''
@@bernadettewilliams8237 Bowie was still alive when Angie wrote a book about her experience with Ziggy etc. They split up couple of years ago in 1978 something
I'm just an aging redneck from south GA but I KNOW music and story. She was a HIGH IQ individual with an affinity for an amalgamation of things not commonly cultivated for sure LOLOL She has a flare to be questioned for sure, but she is smart and was very good for Bowie early on. She's also entertaining as sht to listen to!!
People making very mean comments need to stop. She has health problems herself and is a very lovely woman. It's a shame that she is being perceived as a Bowie groupie. She was his wife for many years!!! Just like Freddie Mercury had a common law wife for more than six years!! These women have amazing stories to tell. Live extraordinary lives that only you could dream about. To be able to hang out and party with Warhol,Bowie,Lou Reed,and Iggy Pop all there at the same party back then was the norm. To lose both Steve Strange and Bowie in the same year is a sign of the times. Angie and David had a Polyamorous marriage. The movie Velvet Goldmine doesn't even do their relationship justice. I hope that Angie and Duncan can forge a relationship.
while I find her an interesting woman, and no doubt believe she was thrown under the bus by Bowie and his entourage, she tells a lot of stories. I do feel sorry for her , shes obviously not a well woman and never was really. theres a reason David got custody of Duncan and don't believe for a second it was because she wanted Duncan to be with his Dad, as she now says. moreover, I don't believe for a second that Duncan stopped speaking with her because she was not well off, as she has said over the years. theres a lot more to it than that. although I do hope her and her son reconcile. I think it's tragic for a child to disown a parent.
She took the good and bad and gets grief. She isnt being brash saying she helped make him big. He knew who he was she just pointed out directions to go. Hair clothes, staging.
She helped him find his look and his style. She was a REAL catalyst. She was and is INTENSE and probably very reckless, regardless, she was smart as a whip and I wouldn't want her mad at me rock star or no. She loved him, she was beyond a groupie. She was a junior executive and she definitely helped Bowie find his business sense. And as far as groupie red... Having the song "Angie" by the Stones written about you, beat that... BITCHES! That song will be sang by many after they're all dead and gone. It was a work of art and she was a muse that helped it evolve, kinda amazing.
Im a huge bowie fan but think Angie deserves a break.. She's entertaining to watch and yes...I think she deserves a bit of credit for her help in the rise of Ziggy etc
She gets enough credit. She is extremely self absorbed and annoying. Any mother who just walks away from her child gets zero respect from me. After Bowie got custody of Zowie she never had anything to do with him right up to current day. That is a sign of a sick despicable human being.
Yes she has a right to exagerrate her contributions and spew her self centered crap. She is a con artist , she saw a rising star and tried to ride his coat tails. She constantly tried to force situations through Bowie's connections to further her own career goals. She blames mysoginy 😂. No Angie you just are not talented and your biggest accomplishment is being married to one of the most famous rockstars in history.There is a reason she never chnaged her name back to her maiden name. She decided to just abandon her kid out of spite becuase she lost custody( and years before that her meal ticket)so she gets zero respect from me on that.
She's actually a very funny lady. First time I've heard her in conversation. Imagine the stories she could tell. Respect her for being civil about David too.
She was under a legal gag order for years and not able to speak about him. It's good that she has learned to be civil. It was a skill she did not have at one point.
I’ve tried to find positive things about her but I really can’t. But oh she tells stories! Lots of lies about David, her stories are never consistent. What I do respect her for though is the fact she made David happy back in the day and I will admit it made me smile when she said she wanted to remember the good stuff about David and not the bad things. (Even though it was her fault the marriage ended)
711honved You can say that again. Listen to pre Ronson songs...Folky kitschy crap. Space oddity aside, it was and is utterly forgettable music. Mick wrote riffs, guitar solos, and arranged strings. Turned his basic songs into hits and got zero credit for it pretty much.
@Shannon May, that's just your opinion really, certainly not shared by everyone. Personally I love a lot of the stuff David recorded in the 60's and don't consider it crap or forgettable at all. And it's not all 'folk music' as you seem to think, either.
I think David's 1969 Conversation Piece is a masterpiece & folk based. There are many other fine examples of his folk stuff too. David's All The Young Dudes was quite folky & Mott The Hoople turned it into an anthem for rock n' rollers. As the folk era came to a close Mick Ronson brought his rock interpretations to David's brilliant song lyrics. Ronson lit the blue touch paper to the rise & rise of David Bowie.
All I mean is, if it was so great, how come he couldn't get noticed at the time. You might enjoy it now, but apparently not too many people enjoyed it then. He was a nobody until he hooked up with Ronson and morphed into Ziggy. In fact, that was 80% of his best work. Very little if anything he did in the 80s or 90s appeals to me at all. And of course, it's an opinion. That's the beauty of art.
Angie has some amazing stories to tell, I could listen to her for hours. She's a remarkable woman and considering the lifestyle she lived from such an early age she survived a lot less damaged than she might of. Hater's are gonna hate, but Angie is tough enough to deal with them.
+Margo Gadet What else does she have? Thats her LIFE. Imagine peaking at age 20. Then your life declines after. She tried to do things on her own but ut was hard being "Angie Bowie".
This show...I recognized the Angie I used to know and truly loved unconditionally. Here, she proves that a young spirit never gets older... Angie is a geniusly bright uniqueness. But she was, and seemingly is, unmanageable! (U know what I mean, Angie!💗)
@@berliner0 I feel very bad for the woman because it's so obvious that David Bowie was a user ... and he had her under a gag order for years . What bothers me the most was how she was kept from her son ... or how he was turned against her . But she ever talk about her son with you ? I'm sure she's proud of him but it must be painful for her to not be part of his life .
I think Angie is honest, she really pushed David and everyone around him. The Spiders were a terrific band they never got what they worked for and deserved. I'm a big Bowie fan,but he was very selfish at that point in his career.
as a fan of David, my general opinion of her has been that of contempt, but i think, in spite of the garish clothes and personality, - money / spotlight grabbing impression, i think there is a huge sadness about Duncan. I think the word is 'stoic', and in spite of everything, a mother and a son need to be reunited wherever there is a possibility.
I too am a huge fan of David; it doesn't mean you have to ignore the truth. I've always known that Bowie's treatment of his first wife and his son has been shameful; it's sad, and Angela deserves a lot more credit, but it hasn't stopped me rating Bowie as an artist (and Bowie A. as a promoter)!
Think Duncan would disagree there. He's never mentioned being treated shamefully by his Dad. You were wrong upthread, David was not absent throughout his childhood, they always had a bond despite the fact David had to work and had his drug problems, as Angie said herself. There are plenty of photos to prove it.
@@JobyUrchin right and he himself admitted in a few interviews I saw, that he did alot of stuff way back then that he is not proud of--but tried to make as much as he could better. And kept saying how he made his relationship with Duncan finally really really good.
it seems that in Bowie's early career, Angie was so involved in aiding and directing his career.........it even irritated his manager, as she seemed to have more say than he did...............it is just my opinion, that Angie should have invested a lot of that energy in doing something for herself..............improving/learning things that would enrich her personal life............it seems that she threw so much of her energy in helping her ex-husband in his early career.................to put all that energy in someone else, I think is a shame, one should make sure that they are enriching their own personal life...........no one "owns" another person.........we only own ourselves............we can give and take guidance, but one should not throw all their energy into another..........it should be for themselves in my opinion
My God. She is still talking about him living in the past. Making out she single handedly is responsible for all his fame. Had he not died would she be traipsing around talking so candidly about David? She's a celebrity? Because her surname is Bowie? She has no respect for Iman and her own son. Iman has class.
@@girpo That's an intelligent response. In this clip she disputes ever being a model or a marketing intern or a student. She claimed to be an actress this time and is introduced as a rock star. Quite confusing really. Hard to tell what the truth is with her. This quasi Brit accent is amusing at least. ua-cam.com/video/R1rcJWc3rwc/v-deo.html
Iman was an established celebrity in her own right when they married, so they made a power couple, but Angie and David were young and reckless. Marrying when you are older and clean and sober is totally different
Crude. Met her at her book signing and the manager of the bookstore was unsure that the check that she wrote for the books that she purchased was a good check and she wasn't stealing the book. She was rather nice but she always seemed to lean on to an identity from the Bowie name. She's looking bad but oh well...
@@ahbowakawapoussepousse2712 David did the exact same thing, he would sleep with anyone if he thought it would help his career. So lets not criticise Angie because that would be hypocritical.
@@annwhite2346 Who did David brag about sleeping with because it was part of his job? Her pursuing him and seducing him when he was vulnerable after his break up was her paid job. Let's not compare apples with worms here.
I don't want to like her, but somehow I do. Horrifyingly brash and vulgar at first sight, I am won over by her openness and integrity, she's not a fake.
Don’t do Tiffany like that. That was an honest mistake. She didn’t specify which David, knowing there is a David in the house who wasn’t feeling well. She was partly to blame too.
A nice and considerate woman, with a right portion of life experience, love of life and respect to look at anecdotes and facets of human, absurd actions and existence. Cool.
David and Angie. Angie and David. Both immature. Both talented and independent. Needing validation. Both troubled. Both from from difficult backgrounds. David died a terrible death and Angie lives on estranged from her only child and her grandson. He worshipped by millions has dissed Angie as a worthless person and mother. He created an amazing life for himself but never acknowledged her part in his success. He left 150 million 100 million to Iman, 25 mil to each child and 2 million to the housekeeper nanny, whom he claims saved his life from drug addiction. Angie received 500,000 £ in their divorce. Just enough for a home of her own. I adore David Bowie, don’t particularly appreciate Angie much mainly as David speaks so harshly of her. British men of that era are hard on woman they fear or lose respect for. Or challenged by. He’s called her the most narcisstic woman he’s ever known publically. Made out she was a monster. She seems ok on this show but you know she did bring up negative behaviour he subjected her to then pretended she didn’t want to destroy his fans faith. Why mention it. Because maybe David did act unfairly. It’s the past. David cultivated his image and personas. Angie has always been herself.
Sorrow was big hit on top 40 USA in early adolescence. Fan hood for David came easily due to his brilliance. Much was hidden for a time but it’s all gone out. He intimated much, she reported much, others in their circle reported enough to draw a picture of their marriage. When he said she with thinly veiled rage, that Angie was the most narcissistic person he’d ever known with no ability to comprehend what a person going through, with barely a tiny nutshell of empathy for anyone’s suffering. That was enough for me. I can list everything I know about their meeting and it’s quite true David didn’t wish to expose the truth publicly. Angie was eager to if anyone cared about her view and experiences as his wife. He’s such a refined person she’s a rough diamond. There’s her version of events and they ring true. So do his. What can’t be denied is his gift to us. As an artist with extraordinary skills and invention. His music saved my life many times. RIP David Bowie
agreed, he was kind of selfish as he made it so she could not have a relationship with her son--and he (Duncan) has not ever moved forward --a real pity-but don't kid yourself David did have a ruthless dark side, that was unforgiving. --
Pues, creo que Bowie era una persona especialmente sensible, con una enorme necesidad de profundizar y explorar el mundo y, bajo la influencia de las drogas, podría ser normal que expirimentara hasta el final, aquello que admirase y le atrajese... Nosotros no podemos comprobar lo que dice Angie, pero sí podemos sentir cómo Bowie se ha manifestado con arte. Él, siempre se ha comunicado con su público como un gran seductor .. Una imagen que seduce e hipnotiza con una potencia sin igual... Él seducía al público en su totalidad, más allá de ser hombres o mujeres .. Iba más allá .. Yo, noto eso... No hay que escandalizarse y sacar morbo de si es gay o si es bixesual ..bla, bla .. Hay que admitir que hay seres muy atractivos e inteligentes y, que TODOS notamos su hechizo .. Eso es lo que desde mi posición de público y mujer, sin problemas de identidad de género, noto...
I can't find any interview where Bowie is asked about her. I wonder if interviewers were told not to mention her. I actually don't see them as a couple. I'm not sure why.
I didn’t know Angie was American .. I like her she’s truthful ... wow she’s gotta song after her by the STONES what a awesome thing to have , & Mick Jaggar singing it too, iconic... she must be in her early 70ies she looks good... I kno she’s gotta kid with David.. she’s awesome, love her honesty ❤️💖🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️
Keith wrote Angie. Mick Jagg*e*r said that Keith wrote the song with his daughter Angela in mind. There is much written about the subject. Keith definitely did not write about her!
I find it sad that her sone duncan dosent have contact with her..At some point we need to forgive and move on..I like her and thinks without her David bowie wouldve found it more difficult to find success, possibly he wouldve waited much longer......shes smart and was integral to his career...
I actually knew and worked with Angie back in the ‘90s and last saw her at an event in NYC in 2015. She could be and probably still is a contradiction in terms and she changes personalities. She is highly intelligent, articulate and funny - and back then she was very kind. She shared unsolicited stories of David that were quite interesting but then she spoke of him with such contempt. Mentioned to her how I saw that he was appearing as Warhol in the Basquiat film and she said with such disdain “Oh that’s a name I don’t want to hear” (meaning David). When I last saw her at event in 2015, she was cold and bitchy. I do agree with David’s comment that she had the personality of a blowtorch and I can understand why her son chooses to have nothing to do with her. Just being honest based on my first hand experience. I wish her well though.
Should man up and go see your mother. It wasn't the way she wanted it. Same thing happened to me, and not a day passes without sorrow. If I could go back in time and do things differently, I would, and I'd still have my child.
Angie is a claissic babe and I think Ziggie stardust was David playing (acting as ) Angie he was using her mojo more or less ! and I think david and Mick were in the bedroom only to keep the liveing room from smelling like an opium den ! But opinuons are like assholes everybodys got one !
Well l think she should have done this before he died not now....but honestly what has she done to herself.....very sad...l met him here in Sydney he lived close by me, but l guess they were wrong for each other, but he did lead a strange life. Would never have thought of marrying someone like that.....he was different....
+Margo Thatcher She has been talking about him since the gag order ran out which is decades now. she will never stop. It's how she makes her living; by writing books so she can do interviews like this.
+Wotiluv Why are YOU interested in David Bowie? You didn't even know him in person! Angie was married to him for 10 yrs and has his one and only child. you think she has no right to talk about him? But it's okay for Priscilla to talk about Elvis simply because...??? Elvis didn't leave a penny to Priscilla but to his daughter. Bowie didn't leave a penny to Angie but to his son. So, Priscilla can, but Angie can't -talk about their most iconic ex ,es?
stella patchouli Educate yourself on the subject before responding and going off on people. Who the hell are you to question why I'm interested in an artist I've admired for years? What's it to you? I don't think the question is relevant. I dn't think it' any of your business. FYI Angie's relationship with Bowie was tenuous; she was a drug abuser and so was he; they didn't spend 10 years together. They lived apart most of their marriage. Also he took custody of the child early in their marriage; also the son till this day won't speak to her and wants nothing to do with her. All this information is public and easy to obtain. Yes Angie can talk all she wants but she has nothing new to say. It's the same old story that is one sided and no one but you is interested.
I absolutely LOVE Angie Bowie. Im currently reading her book Lipstick Legends at the moment and she is HIGHLY intelligent. Has a wide range of knowledge about the history of androgyny, drag, feminism and alternative fashion. People say she just used Bowie for success but this woman has got brains and really did actually help style and create the David Bowie everyone knows and loves. She helped design outfits, get gigs and really encouraged him to push boundaries. She helped HIM get famous.
Let me just say I think if you are still a living and not going through the same things that we know. Let the dead Rest In Peace amen
Angela or Angie will always be a part of the life and history of David ! She got him a contract for Mercury records for Space Oddity
she loved him dearly and got married to him because she needed a work permit for GB to work for DB ( she is born in Cyprus ) It was Bowie who asked her btw , nothing wrong with the happy times between 2 talented open minded young people creating the beginning of a huge change in music fashion sexuality and racism !

Yes but not as much as Ron Mickson .

What a bundle of LIFE!💚
Angie helped so much in the Ziggy Era. Hard to imagine a world without David.
One of those people you never know if it's the full truth.
kyle smallwood right cuz she definitely spinned the truth on the david gest situation
She's actually a very funny lady. First time I've heard her in conversation. Imagine the stories she could tell. Respect her for being civil about David too.

She has had those moments but isn't it only natural, if you're surrounded by everyone else talking that way too?
She' seems matter of fact and gracious.

Had he not died would she be traipsing around talking so candidly about David? She's a celebrity? Because her surname is Bowie? She has no respect for Iman and her own son. Iman has class.
Ah! bowakawa pousse pousse 🖕🏻
@@girpo That's an intelligent response. In this clip she disputes ever being a model or a marketing intern or a student. She claimed to be an actress this time and is introduced as a rock star. Quite confusing really. Hard to tell what the truth is with her. This quasi Brit accent is amusing at least. ua-cam.com/video/R1rcJWc3rwc/v-deo.html
Iman was an established celebrity in her own right when they married, so they made a power couple, but Angie and David were young and reckless. Marrying when you are older and clean and sober is totally different
@@lynnsmithershubbard1896 That does not change what is filmed here.
She was responsible for his fame
Did not know she was on celebrity Big Brother.
Just love her 😍
Crude. Met her at her book signing and the manager of the bookstore was unsure that the check that she wrote for the books that she purchased was a good check and she wasn't stealing the book. She was rather nice but she always seemed to lean on to an identity from the Bowie name. She's looking bad but oh well...
It would be fun to knock back whisky shots with this intense firebrand, she's fucking outrageous!
Come to Portland, OR Angie!
oh, I'm surprised! Never thought she could be so lovely! I find myself liking her :)
wow- she is beautiful - a star with a black dress. thankyou for a wondrous generosity xx
Oh WAIT - It IS Tracey Ullmans character Linda Granger Angie is reminding me of!!! Xo
I love Angie she needs to do I'm a celebrity
What a strong woman what a life 🙏
Space Oddity was a hit single before they even met
No it wasn't. Angie helped to put the deal in place, which was part of her job at the time.
@@annwhite2346 To seduce David was part of her job at the time....just ask her. She blabbed about it enough!
@@ahbowakawapoussepousse2712 David did the exact same thing, he would sleep with anyone if he thought it would help his career. So lets not criticise Angie because that would be hypocritical.
@@annwhite2346 Who did David brag about sleeping with because it was part of his job? Her pursuing him and seducing him when he was vulnerable after his break up was her paid job. Let's not compare apples with worms here.
I think Angie is cool.
At least she is being truthful..
It is okay with me
Angie ..you've got 'true' class. I sincerely hope one day you can resume your relationship with Duncan and play with your grandchildren.
But haven't you heard her say she doesn't want to!! World's best mother award!
I don't want to like her, but somehow I do. Horrifyingly brash and vulgar at first sight, I am won over by her openness and integrity, she's not a fake.
BOWIE A TRUE LEGEND
Can you imagine her with few glasses of wine at a restuarant and someone gets her order wrong...
Don’t do Tiffany like that. That was an honest mistake. She didn’t specify which David, knowing there is a David in the house who wasn’t feeling well. She was partly to blame too.
Why does it come across as though she is re-writing history.
I'll admit i was a David Bowie fanatic, not just a fan, but ive alwazs know how influential Angela was in developing Ziggy and the Spiders.
A nice and considerate woman, with a right portion of life experience, love of life and respect to look at anecdotes and facets of human, absurd actions and existence. Cool.
David and Angie. Angie and David. Both immature. Both talented and independent. Needing validation. Both troubled. Both from from difficult backgrounds. David died a terrible death and Angie lives on estranged from her only child and her grandson. He worshipped by millions has dissed Angie as a worthless person and mother. He created an amazing life for himself but never acknowledged her part in his success. He left 150 million 100 million to Iman, 25 mil to each child and 2 million to the housekeeper nanny, whom he claims saved his life from drug addiction. Angie received 500,000 £ in their divorce. Just enough for a home of her own. I adore David Bowie, don’t particularly appreciate Angie much mainly as David speaks so harshly of her. British men of that era are hard on woman they fear or lose respect for. Or challenged by. He’s called her the most narcisstic woman he’s ever known publically. Made out she was a monster. She seems ok on this show but you know she did bring up negative behaviour he subjected her to then pretended she didn’t want to destroy his fans faith. Why mention it. Because maybe David did act unfairly. It’s the past. David cultivated his image and personas. Angie has always been herself.
Don't know where you get all that from, he barely mentioned Angie after they divorced.
Sorrow was big hit on top 40 USA in early adolescence. Fan hood for David came easily due to his brilliance.
Much was hidden for a time but it’s all gone out.
He intimated much, she reported much, others in their circle reported enough to draw a picture of their marriage.
When he said she with thinly veiled rage, that Angie was the most narcissistic person he’d ever known with no ability to comprehend what a person going through, with barely a tiny nutshell of empathy
for anyone’s suffering. That was enough for me.
I can list everything I know about their meeting and it’s quite true David didn’t wish to expose the truth publicly. Angie was eager to if anyone cared about her view and experiences as his wife.
He’s such a refined person she’s a rough diamond. There’s her version of events and they ring true. So do his.
What can’t be denied is his gift to us. As an artist with extraordinary skills and invention.
His music saved my life many times. RIP David Bowie
agreed, he was kind of selfish as he made it so she could not have a relationship with her son--and he (Duncan) has not ever moved forward --a real pity-but don't kid yourself David did have a ruthless dark side, that was unforgiving. --
Omg-Shes like a creation of Tracey Ullman or something....xo
Angie is great fun and a fab author
Pues, creo que Bowie era una persona especialmente sensible, con una enorme necesidad de profundizar y explorar el mundo y, bajo la influencia de las drogas, podría ser normal que expirimentara hasta el final, aquello que admirase y le atrajese...
Nosotros no podemos comprobar lo que dice Angie, pero sí podemos sentir cómo Bowie se ha manifestado con arte.
Él, siempre se ha comunicado con su público como un gran seductor ..
Una imagen que seduce e hipnotiza con una potencia sin igual... Él seducía al público en su totalidad, más allá de ser hombres o mujeres .. Iba más allá ..
Yo, noto eso...
No hay que escandalizarse y sacar morbo de si es gay o si es bixesual ..bla, bla ..
Hay que admitir que hay seres muy atractivos e inteligentes y, que TODOS notamos su hechizo ..
Eso es lo que desde mi posición de público y mujer, sin problemas de identidad de género, noto...
I can't find any interview where Bowie is asked about her. I wonder if interviewers were told not to mention her. I actually don't see them as a couple. I'm not sure why.
Erano troppo diversi, e a lui in fondo nonostante tutto gli piacciono le ragazze educate.
amazing and fab... she is
Duncan Zowie HAYWOOD Jones... She said 'Hayward,' she doesn't even know his name.
Ethan Paquet 🖕🏻
I didn’t know Angie was American .. I like her she’s truthful ... wow she’s gotta song after her by the STONES what a awesome thing to have , & Mick Jaggar singing it too, iconic... she must be in her early 70ies she looks good... I kno she’s gotta kid with David.. she’s awesome, love her honesty ❤️💖🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️
Keith wrote Angie. Mick Jagg*e*r said that Keith wrote the song with his daughter Angela in mind. There is much written about the subject. Keith definitely did not write about her!
Ah! bowakawa pousse pousse girl you is a big hater of this old lady 😂
Kinda makes you wonder.
I find it sad that her sone duncan dosent have contact with her..At some point we need to forgive and move on..I like her and thinks without her David bowie wouldve found it more difficult to find success, possibly he wouldve waited much longer......shes smart and was integral to his career...
I actually knew and worked with Angie back in the ‘90s and last saw her at an event in NYC in 2015.
She could be and probably still is a contradiction in terms and she changes personalities.
She is highly intelligent, articulate and funny - and back then she was very kind.
She shared unsolicited stories of David that were quite interesting but then she spoke of him with such contempt.
Mentioned to her how I saw that he was appearing as Warhol in the Basquiat film and she said with such disdain “Oh that’s a name I don’t want to hear” (meaning David).
When I last saw her at event in 2015, she was cold and bitchy.
I do agree with David’s comment that she had the personality of a blowtorch and I can understand why her son chooses to have nothing to do with her.
Just being honest based on my first hand experience.
I wish her well though.
luv angie
david did 2 for a while...
god bless
is she older than David? or the same age?
She's 2 or 3 years younger.
Ann White Thanks, I was wondering that :)
What the heck? I must have had too much to drink because I can’t follow her.
Erratic is how you could describe Angie, she's all over the place. You do end up feeling sorry for her.Her stories are variable to the truth.
Margaret Mary Dooley her grandmother from County Cork
Bowie would never have made big without Angie... the absolute truth
One of a kind!
Ihren Lebenswandel sieht man ihr an !
i love that woman
She’s a pistol!
What a delightful personality and very interesting.
Always Gorgeous.
4:28 and already the guy starts on about Bowie 🙄 FFS
Why’d she keep his name?
If I was married to him I keep surname BOWIE . LOL..
Minami Uchida
Yeah, that’s what I find weird. If she wanted to keep his name it’d make more sense for her to be Angie Jones.
@@vashnanerada8757 hell yeaaahhh
Why do you think?
She's a marketer ffs. That was what she studied & did for a living. Of course, she's going to claim the name.
Angie is so American.
That hairdo!! 😱😱😱
Hopefully, she wasn't left penniless.
There would have never been a David Bowie--and all of his characters-- if Angie had not been in his life.
Bowie's stylist
She thinks she's famous... still, she was a significant input to Bowie's years in the early 70's
She looks like my neighbour.
Not a fan. Same old stories over and over, always taking credit for everything he did.
that is the thing her stories don't change- so must be true.
She kinda makes me ill. I mean no direspect.
Couldn’t be more different to Iman.
Should man up and go see your mother. It wasn't the way she wanted it. Same thing happened to me, and not a day passes without sorrow. If I could go back in time and do things differently, I would, and I'd still have my child.
« Queen Bitch ». Bad woman, yes, definitively.
Her and Joan Rivers lol
She’s cool!
She reminds me of a fesity Maila Nurmi.
She had a posh uk accent in another early interview
She's exstreeemly new York 🗽😬!?
The interviewer seems to not listen, or respond well, he just wants to direct it a certain way and move on. She's a great guest though
Angie is a claissic babe and I think Ziggie stardust was David playing (acting as ) Angie he was using her mojo more or less ! and I think david and Mick were in the bedroom only to keep the liveing room from smelling like an opium den ! But opinuons are like assholes everybodys got one !
She's so hard to listen to, she's like a caricature, the only people that really know what went on between them are Angie and David.
P.bo, febr. 6 '18.. finally got 2 ''meet'' *ANGIE-
-*''they'' cán't sing.. at least I've tried!*
*Charming LADY, commeXcourtney!!!
Well l think she should have done this before he died not now....but honestly what has she done to herself.....very sad...l met him here in Sydney he lived close by me, but l guess they were wrong for each other, but he did lead a strange life. Would never have thought of marrying someone like that.....he was different....
+Margo Thatcher She has been talking about him since the gag order ran out which is decades now. she will never stop. It's how she makes her living; by writing books so she can do interviews like this.
+Wotiluv Why are YOU interested in David Bowie? You didn't even know him in person! Angie was married to him for 10 yrs and has his one and only child. you think she has no right to talk about him? But it's okay for Priscilla to talk about Elvis simply because...???
Elvis didn't leave a penny to Priscilla but to his daughter.
Bowie didn't leave a penny to Angie but to his son.
So, Priscilla can, but Angie can't -talk about their most iconic ex ,es?
stella patchouli Educate yourself on the subject before responding and going off on people. Who the hell are you to question why I'm interested in an artist I've admired for years? What's it to you? I don't think the question is relevant. I dn't think it' any of your business. FYI Angie's relationship with Bowie was tenuous; she was a drug abuser and so was he; they didn't spend 10 years together. They lived apart most of their marriage. Also he took custody of the child early in their marriage; also the son till this day won't speak to her and wants nothing to do with her. All this information is public and easy to obtain. Yes Angie can talk all she wants but she has nothing new to say. It's the same old story that is one sided and no one but you is interested.
David Bowie had a much better wife that he loved very much, along with his son with Angie and daughter.
Then David got sober and clean, and dropped her like a hot potato😃
