Angelyne Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family
Angelyne is an American singer, actress and model. She came to prominence in 1984 after a large number of billboards promoting herself started appearing all over Los Angeles, California. She immediately caught the attention of the local media and started receiving offers for interviews and TV show appearances. The main trademark of her celebrity persona is a pink Corvette. She is often called "famous for being famous" since her billboards have got more fame than her music career. Her billboards have been featured in many movies and television series, including the opening credits of Moonlighting and spoofed in shows such as The Simpsons, Futurama or BoJack Horseman.Much of Angelyne's actual biographical and personal information is unknown or doubtful due to her refusal to answer questions or giving contradictory information. She repeatedly claimed that she was born in Idaho and that her parents died when she was young, but neither one of the statements was confirmed. Her birth name and age also remain unconfirmed.Contrary to rumors of a rich husband paying for her billboards, Angelyne claims the promotion was backed up by her business partner and owner of a billboard print company, Hugo Maisnik, who financed the billboards in return for half the earnings it generated.In 2003, she was a candidate in the California governor recall election, finishing 28th in a field of 135 candidates (garnering 2,536 votes). Her slogan during the campaign was "We've had Gray, we've had Brown, now it's time for some blond and pink."Angelyne is also an artist. She began painting in 1998 and has produced over 100 pieces since then. She has had several successful art shows in Los Angeles.

Quote

Although I act, model, dance, paint, write and create magic, I'm most known for my persona, the essence of who I am.
2
I love Hollywood because I am Hollywood. Everybody loves me here-from the resident to the President. Those that don't, I can conquer later!

[on the color pink] I've always liked it, it just gravitates towards me. Magenta is the concentrated color of pink diluted with white, so I think it has a really powerful energy to it. I read that pink is the most powerful vibrating color in the universe. Magenta-pink, specifically.

[on Corvettes] I got my first one in the mid-eighties. This is my ninth one, and I'm going to get my tenth next year. I buy them at Community Chevrolet in Burbank. I had a special paint made for me. It has a formula that is very hard to get because it uses a toner that they don't make anymore

Everyone is special when they're with me.
6
I would love to leave a legacy that helps people tune into their highest power and find their calling. I believe that everybody has their own universe, their own planet. I want to inspire people to do everything that they want to do. When you die, you drop your total DNA into the world and everyone gets a piece of it.

I do the splits. The gym? Oh God, no-I'm glamorous!

I'm a five and a half. It's very hard for me to find shoes, so I have them all made. I have so many shoes, my God. I collect handbags as well.
9
99.99% of my clothes are made for me, so I mostly go shopping for fabric. When I do shop, I have to get everything taken in or shortened. I work with three different designers. I love The Blonds-they recently made a dress for me.

[on who's more famous] Me, obviously! Barbie wants to be me.
