She's known for cruising around LA in some iteration of a pink Corvette, selling merch out of the trunk of her car and posing for photos .
"I love Angelyne," star and Angelyne executive producer Rossum said."She’s as if Marilyn Monroe got into an easy bake oven with a 80s punk Barbie Doll, and a dose of new age spirituality. She's a trailblazer, a hustler, a visionary, the original influencer, a living-breathing piece of art." Before Rossum transformed into LA's billboard queen she did a lot of research, met with coaches to perfect Angelyne's patterns, dialect and movement and met the real-life Angelyne at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the actress toldShowrunner and executive producer Allison Miller said in a previously released statement that the five episodes aren't the true story of Angelyne. It’s not a straight forward biopic.
"It’s a story inspired by everything Angelyne represents and so it’s a magical story, a hopeful story, a story about becoming the person you were meant to be and believing in your own inner strength to manifest your dreams. It’s a story about Los Angeles and everything the city means to people who move here and to people who dream about moving here," Miller said.
