Is there a short answer? The short answer? A lot of research, and just one delicious dinner.
Rossum is a star Angelyne, the real-life figure who loomed large over Los Angeles in the ’80s—literally, with billboards across the city—in Peacock’s new series of the same name. “She was all anybody could talk about,” Rossum told CelebHomes News’ Daily PopIn an exclusive interview. She is a remarkable icon. She’s the original influencer…the first person to say, ‘I’m going to be famous for who I am, not something that I do.'”
Angelyne’s pink Corvette became a celebrity in L.A. but the mystery surrounding Angelyne remains. Rossum stated that there are many contradictory and wild stories about Angelyne. “Our show, therefore, is an unconventional look at the various mythologies surrounding this trailblazer.”
Rossum got to work to organize all the stories. She’s an “intellectual nerd” in this kind of stuff.
