Angel Characters

Angels in Movies and Television: Before 1970

By Nell Minow

Angels have appeared in comedies, dramas, cartoons, television series, and even in musicals.

These angels are usually included in the story to guide the main character, but quite often they end up learning something, too.

Check out this gallery of my favorite angels in movies and on television before 1970.
