Angelyne remains one of the most interesting curios of the eighties. Variously described in modern media as an early influencer or a model she was really neither. As a failing singer she fell in with the entrepreneur Hugo Maisnik, who erected billboards all over LA bearing her bimbo form in various poses. Despite looking like oversized prostitute calling cards both the billboards and her pink Corvette gained her a degree of very local notoriety. Despite gaining an enthusiastic fan club and the billboards becoming a Hollywood landmark, Angelyne was totally unable to make any sort of serious career out of music or acting despite the publicity barrage.
