Billboard queen Angelyne makes us long for a less toxic era

feature stories written by Gary Baum. It stars and was produced by Emmy Rossum , whose performance as Angelyne brings sensitivity and magic to a woman hungry for recognition and adoration for doing nothing except be who she wants to be.Angelyne doesn’t sing, doesn’t dance, doesn’t act and doesn’t model. Well, she sings a bit. Her lyrics go something like this, “kiss me LA / you know I get off on you”. Surprisingly profound when sung and repeated over and over again.

The series examines the impact that Angelyne’s billboards had on the LA community and people walking the streets, driving home and standing around water coolers at work talking about, well, Angelyne. “Who is she?” “Would she date me?” “Have you seen her new billboard?” What a nostalgic, heartfelt concept. The contemporary water cooler is a crazy, online place, littered with opinions, bad news, porn, memes, gifs, games, videos, and endless, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it content.

Everything has gotten a touch serious. But throughout the series, after saying something challenging, or seeing onlookers stare, Angelyne will blow a kiss or release an ecstatic, “Ooooow!” as if to remind us all that this is a glorious game. Sure, it might be about sex, power, money, influence and ambition, but it’s hilarious, isn’t it? Ooooow!Nik Wheeler/Corbis via Getty Images

However, Angelyne won’t be defined by “men” or by her past. She is led to collaborators by “gods and fairies” and she sees hours-long, candlelit baths as essential to her work, and when Hugh Hefner offers her the “privilege” of posing naked for, she refuses. Just as she says no to Oprah, because the woman “digs into people’s pasts and makes them cry on her couch”. No, thank you.
