Angelyne is an American drama television miniseries created by Nancy Oliver and starring Emmy Rossum as Angelyne. It premiered on Peacock on May 19, 2022. A second miniseries is confirmed unlikely to come to fruition as the eponymous Angelyne herself was highly disapproving of the series.




Premise


Angelyne is an enigmatic blonde bombshell who rose to fame in the 1980s with billboard advertisements featuring her image. In the 2010s, Jeff Glaser, a journalist for The Hollywood Reporter, is trying to uncover the true identity and life story of Angelyne. His efforts are hampered by her secrecy and conflicting accounts from herself and those who know her.
