Angelyne (born 1958) is an American model and occasional actress who has purportedly become an icon of Hollywood and Los Angeles best known for purchasing billboards advertising herself.[1]
[edit] BiographyAngelyne drives a pink Corvette which bears the shortened name "ANGLYNE" on its license plate, and has a pink maltese named Buddha.[1] She began to gain local attention in the early 1980s when a series of billboards popped up around the city featuring her in various poses.[1] Around this time, she made her first appearance on national television as a guest on the late night talk show Thicke of the Night hosted by Alan Thicke, and featuring a young Arsenio Hall. Although it has been claimed that billboard companies or a wealthy husband pays for her billboards, Angelyne, who is single, credits "investors" for financing the outdoor advertising.[1] Angelyne compares herself to Barbie, stating that "Kids think I'm a Barbie doll"[1] and, in one billboard, "Barbie wishes she were me."[2] Angelyne has not given her age or birthdate in interviews, although the IMDB lists 1958 (in Idaho) without providing a source. The Los Angeles County registrar of voters lists her (by her single first name only) to be age 44 as of June 20, 2007.[1] Angelyne was one of the candidates in the 2003 California recall election, finishing 28th in a field of 135 candidates (garnering 2,533 votes).[1] Her slogan during the campaign was "We’ve had Gray, we’ve had Brown, now it’s time for some blond and pink."[1] She was also a candidate for Hollywood city council in 2002 if it were to secede from Los Angeles.[citation needed] Her billboards have gained more fame than she, and have appeared in several television shows and movies[1] [edit] Filmography
