Angelyne was iconic. Is iconic. And I say that without even liking her. She created the whole celebutante world without the internet. She made it possible for the Kardashians to BE "The Kardashians".
It was difficult at times to like or keep watching since the narcissism was so over the top and I don't think this show exaggerated this aspect of her. I think they nailed it.
Emmy Rossum was FANTASTIC in this. But she always is...she's just a great actress across the board. The cinematography was beautiful at times. Painting views I'd like to use as a screensaver. Especially the crystal pyramid with the glittering scrub-brush and Mars atmosphere. Just wow!
And I gotta give credit to the true personality of Rachel Goldman...she evolved in unbelievable ways to become Angelyne. Her guru, hare krishnic, yoga-meditating meanderings were decades ahead of a lot of beliefs (make your life happen by keeping only positive vibes) we see all over now. Again, without the internet.
I think that's the biggest story here..she tapped into a world-wide web consciousness before it even existed. Somehow. Then made others believe and support her in it. Even though she didn't DO anything, people just went for the ride. That's even more amazing than the Kardashians. They DO things to sustain their celebrity status. They'd fade away without the internet to keep them going. Angelyne only used billboards.
In the end I thought her story was fascinating even though I didn't really like HER.
