Angela Goethals started her acting career at a very young age and by the time she was 10, she had already made an appearance on Broadway. Her first significant role in a film came in 1988 when she starred in the comedy Heartbreak Hotel, a movie centered around a group of young people who try to kidnap Elvis Presley. Two years after that, Angela once again worked with the director of Heartbreak Hotel, Chris Columbus, this time portraying the exasperated older sister of Macaulay Culkin in the globally successful film Home Alone.
In 1993, Angela Goethals took on the role of a teenage tennis champion in the sitcom Phenom, which unfortunately didn’t last very long. Later, she appeared in another short-lived series, the comedic fantasy show Do Over. As her career progressed, she also had a guest appearance on the popular action series 24. Additionally, Angela Goethals played a major part in the horror-comedy film Behind the Mask, further showcasing her versatility as an actress.
Angela Goethals has been part of several movies, but her highest rated film to date is Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon from 2006. On the other hand, one of her earlier works, V.I. Warshawski (1991), holds the distinction of being her lowest rated film. While Angela Goethals has contributed to a variety of projects over the years, these two films represent the extremes in terms of audience reception. It’s interesting to see how her role in Angela Goethals’ career trajectory has shifted over time, especially when comparing the reception of these two particular movies.
