Angelyne

I loved Angelyne! Emmy was fabulous in the role of over-the-top Angelyne. The entire cast was great. It wasn't mean spirited or ridiculing, just sweet. Angelyne was the first celebrity who was famous for being famous. Long before the obnoxious K family.

Watch it for the entertainment value and don't expect high drama. You'll probably enjoy it!

Famouse for being famous, nothing more, sad instagram life, tiktok braindead, honestly just rewatch Idiocracy it will be better time spend than this what ever it is.

I actually remember seeing Anglyne's billboards on my first trip to the USA. At the time, I thought she was not that attractive and a bit too old to be doing what she did, but here we are a few decades later and she's still at it! Good for her I say, although real-life footage of her hocking her merchandise from her trunk seems more depressing than empowering.

I liked this series. It's part biography, part sci-fi schlock but always interesting. The lead actress does a fantastic job and the aging makeup is generally great - something that typically doesn't happen. For someone so fixated on selling her physical appeal, the script goes out of its way to not portray her as a s*xual being, which is odd. She has a seemingly platonic relationship with a family man who financed a lot of her posters, which is hard to believe. She's also not that likeable, to the point where she comes across as a shameless grifter in the later episodes.

The visuals are great and the sets really do an excellent job of recreating LA in the 80s/90s. There's not a lot of story there, but maybe that's the point. Her billboards are her story.

Not 100% accurate, but a very well done piece of fiction mixed with non-fiction and Emmy is a very good actress. The guy who played Scott Hennig aka "Rick Krause" was exceptional and nailed his persona as well as the guy who played Hugo. It's a television show, so yeah, it's not all accurate. I worked with her for many years so I know. But it was very well done. End, full stop.

Some of you are missing the point. Angelyne was Instagram before Instagram. Her narcissism, shallowness, and vapidness are the point. I met Angelyne in West Hollywood and she was just like this. Would only take a photo if I bought a signed magazine out the back of her famous pink Corvette.
