Who was Angelyne? That’s the question posed by this Peacock limited series, with the unrecognizable Emmy Rossum (Shameless) playing the self-made celebrity whose likeness towered over Angelinos on billboards across LA.

Angelyne was the platinum blonde with the Marilyn Monroe voice and Betty Boop body whose 80s billboard campaign made her an icon: showing her provocatively posed atop a pink Chevrolet underscored with just one word: “Angelyne”.

Her enigmatic identity allowed her to be different things to different people, “an innocent doll, or a porn star”. At least until Gary Baum’s 2017 article in The Hollywood Reporter revealed the Billboard Queen’s actual identity to be Ronia Tamar Goldberg, the Polish daughter of Holocaust survivors, and shattered the illusion.

Created by Nancy Oliver, writer and producer on True Blood and Six Feet Under, this series explores Angelyne's tangled web of identity, celebrity, and self transformation, with those involved in her rise to fame including Gaslit star Hamish Linklater as fan club president Rick Krauss, Lukas Gage (The White Lotus), and Sherlock’s Martin Freeman as the executive helping to bankroll her dreams.

How to watch Angelyne online outside your country

Backpacking around Europe or on a family vacation outside of the States? Chances are you’ll encounter geo-blocking restrictions when trying to access your local VOD service. That means you won’t be able to stream any of the eight episodes of Angelyne online.

Luckily, the best VPN – otherwise known as a virtual private network – provides a simple solution. It alters your IP address to make it appear like you’re somewhere else. While this can be used for privacy, it can also be used to access your preferred streaming platform back home, even when you're out of the country.
