Career

Biographical data about her life prior to her appearance as Angelyne are unknown. She does not say anything about her date of birth. In the Internet Movie Database , her place of birth is Idaho and her year of birth is 1958. Other sources point to the Polish city of Radomsko as her birthplace.

Angelyne became famous in the early 1980s when she had her picture featured on numerous billboards in Los Angeles . She presents herself as a sex bomb with platinum blonde hair, flashy make-up, huge silicone breasts and ostentatiously cut, always pink clothes. About her appearance, she said: " Barbie wishes she were me". It is unknown who will bear the immense costs of renting the large billboards for many years. She usually organizes her "appearances" herself by simply driving through Los Angeles in her pink Corvette . "Angelyne is part of Los Angeles like the Hollywood sign " and she is "famous for being known," wrote Playboy in its September 1997 issue.

She has appeared in a few films and as a guest star on television shows. In 1990 she was nominated for the Golden Raspberry for her supporting role in Zebo, the third from the center of the stars . “Angelyne can't really do anything, but really good at it. For that very reason, the "actress" from Hollywood is as well known in the city of the rich and (not always) beautiful as a sore thumb and now an icon. "(Promiflash.de)

In 2003 she ran for governor of California. Her election slogan was: “We've had Gray , we've had Brown now it's time for some blond and pink.” (We had gray , we had brown, now it's time for blonde and pink). With 2536 votes she took 28th place. In 2008 she ran for the honorary office of mayor of Hollywood which is purely representative and without political authority.
