According to Peacock (via TheWrap), the limited series — which stars Emmy Rossum alongside Martin Freeman and Alex Karpovsky — will chronicle Angelyne’s journey from an unknown model to the “glow-in-the-dark queen of the universe.”
Angelyne became a Los Angeles cultural icon after a series of billboards showing the model (in often salacious poses) popped up around Southern California, catapulting the her into local stardom. The series, as showrunner Allison Miller said, will not be a “straight forward biopic,” but will instead be inspired by Angelyne’s life, per Entertainment Weekly. Rossum also revealed that she spent three years preparing for the gig. The former “Shameless” star explained her decision to take on the role as the controversial model and artist, whom she called “the original influencer.” Rossum said, “I love Angelyne. She’s as if Marilyn Monroe got into an easy bake oven with a 80s punk Barbie Doll, and a dose of new age spirituality.”
