BOWER,
Angela Catherine
(Who's the Boss)
(
KL5-6218
3344 Oak Hills Drive
Fairfield, CT
Angela is an ad agency executive at Wallace
and McQuade Advertising, the 12th largest
advertising agency in New York City. Now divorced from
Michael Bower, Angela shares her two-story cape
cod home with her rambunctious son, Jonathan L.
Bower and her mother Mona Robinson who lives in
a rear apartment. In need of a housekeeper, Angela's mother convinced widower Tony Micelli
to apply for the job. After giving the matter
careful thought, Angela decided to hire Tony as
her live-in housekeeper. Tony’s young daughter,
Samantha took up residence as well.

Born October, 16th 1950, Angela was shy and
plump as a youth and played the cello (but very
badly). Angela went
to Montague Academy and later graduated from
Harvard Business School. She drives a Jaguar
automobile (license: MX8266). Her favorite color
is emerald. Her favorite Beatle song is “Hey,
Jude.“ Angela was
nominated for the “Matty” for the best
commercial of 1986. Ironically that same year,
Angela was fired but she soon opened her own
company, the Bower Agency in Manhattan. Her
mother Mona pitched in to help run the office
as Angela built up her client base.
Throughout all this, Angela’s relationship with
her housekeeper Tony eventually turned to true
love. During that time Angela’s romantic
interests included the handsome Geoffrey Wells;
lawyer Jeffrey Michaelson, Esq.; Tony’s cousin
Maurizio from Italy who fell in love with
Angela; a guy named Christopher; Jake “The Snake,” a former classmate; and while
in college, Brian Thomas, whom Angela married as
a joke only to discover 20 years later her
divorce was never terminated. Angela’s female
friends included the sexy but arrogant neighbor
Diane Wilmington; Trish, Angela’s old sorority
sister; and Angela‘s cousin Christy. When Angela
tried to cut loose, she usually got in trouble,
like the time Tony invited her to a frat party
and she got drunk and ended up in a campus jail.
When Tony was offered a chance to coach at Wells
College in Bradford, Iowa, Angela moved to the
Midwest to be with her man but after a short
time she missed her job and career and moved
back to Connecticut. She and Tony carried on a
long distance relationship, until Tony realized
he could teach anywhere. One night, in 1992,
soon after going through a number of
housekeepers, Angela opens the front door and
sees Tony Micelli dressed in a tuxedo. Tony
applies for the job of housekeeper and smiling,
Angela asks “So, what are your qualifications?"
Tony kisses her passionately and Angela happily
tells him “You’ve got the job.” It seems that
Angela and Tony were always meant to be. For as
children, Angela (in the guise of a
girl named Ingrid) unknowingly had met Tony and become friends at
Camp Cataba summer camp. It was then that Ingrid
(Angela) shared her first kiss with Tony at
Kissing Rock.
