Angela Best (née MacDonald-Janes; born 26 July 1952) is an English model and former Playboy Bunny, known as the first wife of footballer George Best.
Born in Westminster, London[1] and raised in Southend-on-Sea, Essex,[2] Angela MacDonald-Janes was the elder daughter of Marion (née MacDonald) and Robert William Brough Janes.
The marriage produced son Calum in 1981, but they separated the following year and divorced in 1986 due to Best's continual alcoholism and domestic violence.
[citation needed] In 2000, a poorly reviewed biopic about George Best titled Best featured Patsy Kensit as Angie Best.
She detailed the marriage and life afterwards where she claimed to have tried to remain in contact with George, offering support and advice to help him conquer his alcoholism.
