The picture appears to be of Bowie's current wife, Iman, not of Angela. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.86.126 ( talk) 17:35, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
"In the book, she tells of her notorious first-hand encounter seeing David and Mick Jagger naked in bed together, confirming the long-rumored bi encounters the two of them had back in their 30s."
Oh right, so that confirms it then. Hmmmmm, I think Angela Bowie might have an interest in promoting her book with salacious rumours, and therefore we should take her claims with a pinch of salt. I believe in general she's not regarded as a reliable witness.

I thought Angela Bowie admitted years ago that she made that up under pressure during the appearance on Joan Rivers's daytime talk show in the early nineties?...
No, she never said it was made-up. But she has insisted, time and again, that what she found were two boys naked in bed (asleep) together. She never suggested they had had sex, although she says that at the time she assumed they had had sex - knowing who they where - but she never indicated she knew they have had sex. That was all media blowing things up... (For the record, she says a lot of other sexual things about Bowie that the media did not pick up on - they focused on this non-scandal instead). Vithar Alderland ( talk) 01:13, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
I know from interviews etc. that Angie was in a relationship with Andrew Lipka for a few years, but I've seen nothing stating they were married. Source anyone?

Is Angela Bowie actually Cypriot? The article says that her mother is Greek Cypriot and her father American, yet on an internet site on which she has written about Cyprus, the island of her birth, she states that her parents are American and she merely feels Cypriot because of the place she was born and briefly grew up in. Which sauce is correct?
In her book "Backstage Passes" Angela states that her mother is of Polish descent. She was born in Cyprus by dint of her father having been employed there at the time of her birth. Therefore, the Greek category needs to be removed as she is not of Greek ancestry.One could replace it with Polish-American. jeanne ( talk) 14:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
The text states
"Angie and David Bowie... divorced on 8 February 1980... She then began a long-term relationship with punk musician Drew Blood (real name Andrew Lipka) and, on 24 July 1980 gave birth to their daughter"
Well if she gave birth on 24 July she must, biologically, have begun the relationship before 8 February 1980. The text is a bit deceptive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdul tom ( talk • contribs) 09:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
"Angela also performed on The Mike Douglas Show in early 1975."
— performed what ? What instrument, if it was a musical performance ? --

In Mick Karn's autobiography he details his relationship with Angela Bowie. I think this was 1979, while they lived together in London —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.60.185 ( talk) 19:27, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
User Nusumareta tagged this article for notability concerns on December 17 with this and summary, "Notability is not inherited. The major issue with this article is that she has relationships with notable people, but does not seem to have enough secondary source references to be considered notable in her own right."
While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'd have to say that in Angela Bowie's case she is more than "just related" to someone famous. In addition to being David Bowie's former wife and the mother of one of his children, Duncan Jones (with an article notable in his own right), but she has gone on to achieve fame through a variety of means. Is any one of these things particularly noteworthy? Well, that is probably debatable. But if everything she has done is taken together in context, in my opinion Notability is fairly obvious.
Familial relations, notwithstanding, Bowie has been an actress for several decades; her resume on IMDb.com clearly shows this. (Please, no one start with IMDB not being WP:RS, it's been accepted 10s of 1000s of times in this regard) She's also a published writer, a music composer, and a journalist. Lastly, I'll add in the fact that she's been portrayed (albeit fictionally) by another actor in the movie Velvet Goldmine.
Does anyone have a policy based and/or substantial justification for not removing the Notability tag? -- Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 20:25, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
