Angela Busson du Maurier (1 March 1904 – 5 February 2002) was an English actress and novelist who also wrote two volumes of autobiography, It's Only the Sister (1951) and Old Maids Remember (1965).

[1] Her paternal grandfather was the author and Punch cartoonist George du Maurier, who created the character of Svengali in the novel Trilby.

Originally aspiring to follow the family tradition of acting, she planned to be an actress and spent two seasons on the stage.

[4] After her father's death in 1934, du Maurier, together with her mother and her younger sister Jeanne, moved from Cannon Hall, the family home in Hampstead, to a smaller house nearby.

She later turned to writing, with the release of her earlier works coinciding with the publication of her sister's Rebecca and Frenchman's Creek.
