Angels Schijf was born in Uithoorn, The Netherlands, in 1979.
In 1994, she started her career in the TV comedy series Oppassen!/Beware! (1994-1995) about two grandfathers, taking care of their grandchildren.
In 1996, she had her breakthrough in Goede tijden, slechte tijden/Good times, bad times, also known as GTST, the longest-running Dutch soap opera. The programme was in 1990 the first daily soap in the Netherlands. GTST is produced by Joop van den Ende and to date over 5,000 episodes have been broadcast. Schijf left the soap in 1999.
Her first major film role was in the romantic drama Ik ook van jou/I Love You Too (Ruud van Hemert, 2001), based on a novel by Ronald Giphart. The film portrays the relationship between a young male student (Antonie Kamerling) and a young woman with borderline personality disorder (Schijf). The film received a Golden Film (75,000 visitors) in 2001, the first film to receive this award.
That same year she also had a small part in the horror film Down (Dick Maas, 2001) about a killer elevator, starring James Marshall and Naomi Watts. The film is a remake of the Dutch film De Lift/The Elevator (1983), which was also directed by Maas. It compared badly to the original.

In 2002 Angela Schijf married the Belgian actor Tom Van Landuyt. Together, they have three daughters.
Schijf played one of her best roles in Van God Los/Godforsaken (Pieter Kuypers, 2003) opposite Tygo Gernandt and Egbert-Jan Weeber. The crime film is based on the real life of the ‘Gang from Venlo’, that left a trail of death and destruction in the North-Middle Limburg area in the Netherlands from 1993 till 1994. The film received a Golden Film (100,000 visitors) and won three Golden Calves.
In 2005, she had a role in the family film De Griezelbus/Gruesome School Trip (Pieter Kuijpers, 2005), based on the novel series by Paul van Loon. The film received a Golden Film award for having been viewed by over 100,000 people.
Her later films include the disappointing thriller De eetclub/The Dinner Club (Robert-Jan Westdijk, 2010), the mystery Daglicht/Daylight (Diederik van Rooijen, 2013) with Monique van de Ven and Derek de Lint, and another mediocre thriller Schone handen/Clean Hands (Tjebbo Penning, 2015) with Jeroen van Koningsbrugge and Thekla Reuten.
Today, Angela Schijf is best known for playing Eva van Dongen in the Dutch TV-series Flikken Maastricht (2007-now). On stage, she performed the show Kreutzersonate als het verlangen maar stopt in theatres around the Netherlands and Belgium with her husband and two musicians. In the cinema she was last seen in the family film Storm: Letters van Vuur/Falko Letter of Fire (Dennis Bots, 2017) with Yorick van Wageningen.
