Angell Conwell (1983- ) is an American actress. She is best known as Omar Gooding’s girlfriend in John Singleton’s “Baby Boy” (2001) and as a stewardess in “Soul Plane” (2004). She has also been in music videos and has appeared on many television shows. In 2006 she made a swimsuit calendar.
According to this blog she is the tenth most beautiful black woman in the world. She is not tall and queenly like some on the list. Her beauty is more the sexpot sort. She looks much better on film or even on YouTube than in still pictures.
She is short (1.63 m) but has a great figure. She has high cheekbones and her eyes seem to be at an angle. This makes her look a bit strange, but the highest beauty often has an element of strangeness. Think of Angelina Jolie or Sophia Loren.
But while her figure is good for swimsuit calendars and music videos, it works against her when it comes to getting a good part in a film.
Most film producers and directors are white. Their idea of a pretty girl is someone who is tall and thin and, yes, white – or at least light-skinned like Halle Berry or Beyonce. I am afraid that to many of these whites Conwell looks like “some rap guy’s girlfriend”.
And this matters: Conwell is now at that delicate stage where to progress she must make the jump from playing the friend to playing the lead in a film that does well. Sanaa Lathan made that jump in “Love and Basketball” and Gabrielle Union in “Deliver Us From Eva”. Conwell has not, but she is still young and has time.
A mistake that she does seem to be making, however, is not carefully choosing which films she appears in. She is on course to becoming stuck playing a supporting character in bad films. True, there are not many parts for black women in Hollywood, but Sanaa Lathan, for example, has been careful about where she appears.
In 2004 Conwell was designing her own clothing line. I do not know what became of it.
In 2007 she has been working on becoming a singer.
Some of the music videos she has been in:
- Cherish: Unappreciated (2006)
- Guerilla Black: You’re the One (2005)
- Erick Sermon: I’m Hot (2001)
Conwell was Omar Gooding’s girlfriend for about two years.
She will appear in the August/September 2007 issue Black Men magazine. She is currently in “Confessions”, a direct-to-DVD film that came out in July 2007. It stars Tamala Jones. You can also catch her in the upcoming films “Portal”, “Thug Passion” and “Queen of All Media”
She is clearly talented. She first appeared on television at age six in her native state of South Carolina. At age 12 she was a model for the Wilhelmena Agency in New York. When she was age 14 she and her mother moved to Hollywood. There she began appearing on countless television shows. With “Baby Boy” she began her move to film.

Regarding Conwell not taking the right roles and choosing roles like Sanaa Latham. I know for a fact that Sanaa comes from a wealthy family, if she doesn’t work for a while she has family to turn to for financial support. I think Conwell comes from the sticks of South Carolina and maybe to survive in LA she took the roles available to pay rent and eat. I know I how it is, if I hadn’t left LA I would have been homeless because it’s just not easy. I’m rooting for Angell to hang in there. She definitely has talent.

I wish her well too. I can understand that she needs money, like most of us. I know that both Balzac and Graham Greene wrote bad books in between their great ones so they could, you know, eat.

she was doing her thing for awhile, with ‘city guys’, ‘baby boy’ & ‘the wash’; ‘soul plane’ that’s pretty much it. but some still see her as a teenager of some kind?

just watched her “Frankenhood”, and she totally stood out. Not a great fan of the movie, but I’m glad it got made. The statement made on what their looking for is sad, but true. Still, not only women of color are suffering from body type discrimination. The issue with women of color is you’ve got that on top of the fact that you’re dealing with an industry that is still trying to relate. What’s needed, especially now where you don’t really need the rather dated Hollywood structure, is more writers writing solid material that relates to people of color with more diverse topics than just the family unit, and people with money to invest in these projects. Waiting around for Hollywood to get a clue is a foolish venture, and a waste of time in my opinion. I believe the time for the filmmaker of color is the same as the 60’s and early 70’s with the American International type of movies. They just made the movies, they didn’t wait for the industry. Big Hollywood seems completely out of touch with the growing market these days in my opinion. They seem only good for animation movies, remakes, and sequels. Nobody has the guts to take any risks it seems these days.
