ANGELYNE – During the many years we lived in Los Angeles, the boys and I would see billboards of Angelyne all over town. Occasionally we would pass her pink Corvette on the 101 freeway. We would always remark, “Who is this chick?” It was the same question many Angelenos were asking and rumors abounded, but no one knew anything for sure. So naturally, I had to watch the mini-series on Peacock to satisfy my curiosity. Turns out Angelyne doesn’t want anyone to know anything for sure. She wants her life before she created Angelyne to remain a mystery. She is famous for being famous way before the Kardashians. The five episodes are told in a somewhat surreal fashion which I suspect is meant to symbolize Angelyne’s fantasy world, but were exceedingly boring. I was impressed, however, at her ability to draw people into her orbit with her genuine belief in positive energy in order to accomplish her goals. And accomplish them she did. She’s no bimbo. But she always ended up sucking the life right out of those same folks, leaving chaos in her wake. In the last episode, we finally get a glimpse into her childhood and her life before Angelyne, which was traumatic. That, coupled with her fantasy world, created the alter ego who apparently still cruises around L.A. to this day. In the end, my verdict is the same as what I suspected all those years ago when we first spotted those billboards…this chick is whacked! It is ironic, though, having moved to Westport directly from L.A. that a resident here drives a pink mini cooper with the license plate Lollypop. That’s so Angelyne. And I have to admit I think of her still whenever I spy her counterpart around town. I wonder what Angelyne would say about that! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
