Peacocks new limited series follows a historical LA transformation.
But her true identity was shrouded in mystery.
Peacocks new five-episodelimited series,Angelyne,dramatizes her real life through a mix of fact and fiction.
Im a Rorschach test in pink.
An innocent little doll.
Or a porn star, says the titular character, played by Emmy Rossum.
People see what they see.
Its not a straightforward biopic.
Its a story inspired by everything Angelyne represents.
… Its a story about Los Angeles and everything the city means to people who move here.
Who was Angelyne, and why was she on all those billboards?
(The Hollywood Reporterindependently confirmed his findings.)
Her real name was Renee Tami Goldberg, and she was born in Poland on Oct. 2, 1950.
Goldberg and her family moved to the United States in 1959.
Goldbergs mother died of cancer when she was 14, and her father remarried another Holocaust survivor.
The couple divorced in 1969.
Strauss and Goldberg lost contact after the divorce, but he says they met they again in the mid-70s.
By then, she was Angelyne.
I wasnt there when she made the transition.
Like many dreamers in Hollywood, Baum wrote, her entertainment career never panned out quite as intended.
Today, Angelyneis around 71 years old.
