All da years dat dey have lived, and they could have lived, if fate'd been kinder."
―Angelica (a la Tia Dalma)[src]
(screenplay draft)
Angelica was portrayed by Penélope Cruz in On Stranger Tides.
Due to Cruz's pregnancy during the later portions of filming On Stranger Tides, long-distance shots were made with her sister Mónica.[9]
Angelica is loosely based on Elizabeth Hurwood, a character from Tim Powers' novel On Stranger Tides, which served as a basis for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film. The character was redesigned to the account of casting Penélope Cruz.
In real-world history, Blackbeard didn't have a daughter or any other descendant.

While not appearing in the fourth film, On Stranger Tides, Naomie Harris stated that she was asked to do some Tia Dalma lines that would be said in the film by Angelica.[10] This was intended as a reference the backstory between Angelica and Tia Dalma.[4]
In various On Stranger Tides promotions, Angelica was described as the "first female pirate of the franchise."[11] However, there were at least two female characters before her (Anamaria and Elizabeth Swann) that were pirates, so this could either be a mistake or that it was suppose to mean Angelica was the first major female pirate character.
On April 2011, to coincide with the release of On Stranger Tides, Angelica was added as a meet and greet character at Adventureland at Magic Kingdom and New Orleans Square at Disneyland.[12] She would appear either by herself or alongside Captain Jack Sparrow.
Because of being a young Spanish woman pirate as well as being referred to as a "woman from his past", Esmeralda, a character from The Price of Freedom, was believed to be Angelica. However, as the background stories on the two characters are different, it is unlikely.
Blackbeard's fictional daughter Hanna is the main heroine of the American comic book The Blackbeard Legacy.
