![]() The real-life Angelyne once told Racked that 99.99 percent of her clothes were custom made for her, so it only made sense that Glicker custom-made all of Rossum's costumes for the series, which ended up totaling more than a whopping 100 looks. Rossum wore more than 100 different costumes as Angelyne She has a chin, cheeks, an upper lip prosthetic, nose and nose bridge prosthetics, forehead, stipple on her lids, prosthetic ear lobes, arms, and hands." Biscoe says that the crew would try to hold a fan for Rossum on hot days, but it was pointless because the air wasn't hitting any of her real skin. ![]() "She had a neckpiece that rises from underneath her jawline that encompasses her entire neck, clavicle, and breasts, then comes all the way down to under the breast line and kind of terminates into the armpit area. There was always something that she's got going on," explains Van Dyke, who described working on Angelyne as "a makeup artist bucket list kind of job." He goes on to say that Rossum was "fully covered" in prosthetics and that the "palms of her hands" were the only visible parts of her that were real. "There's not a look where she doesn't have some type of prosthetic on, whether it's a nose or a combination of nose and breasts and cheeks. "The long-lasting lip colors were so useful because they gave us one less thing to have to touch up when there was so much prosthetic work going on," says Biscoe. The modern version of Angelyne fittingly wore Maybelline New York Superstay in Pink Goes On. Other lip products included L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Last Lip Color in Infallible Red for '70s-era Angelyne, while the brand's Mesmerizing Merlot shade alongside Maybelline New York Super Stay 24 Super Impact Lip Color in Eternal Cherry worked for the scenes that took place in the '80s and '90s. "It's a Stein lip liner called Lake, which I still have," she says, describing it as "an old classic lip liner that’s really hard to get, I don't know if that company is in business anymore." Aside from the Stein liner, Kevyn Aucoin The Flesh Tone Lip Pencil in Bloodroses, which always goes on "smooth and creamy," was also used - without blending - to draw Angelyne's starkly defined, heart-shaped mouth. While there isn't much information out there about what specific products the real-life Angelyne uses (though she does sell her own brand of pink lipstick for $60), Biscoe found a photo of her applying a certain lip liner that she was able to use for the show. ![]() Because of this, and the fact that Angelyne ended up prematurely ending her involvement in the series, the show takes many creative liberties (similar to other semi-biographical takes such as the recent Netflix series about con artist Anna Delvey) albeit with a massive dose of fantasy imagery. The Peacock series depicts Angelyne's humble beginnings to her rise as a Holly-weird icon, though, despite parts of her secret past being uncovered, Angelyne still remains a mystery wrapped up in pink - which is just how she likes it. Aside from the countless sightings, I've also had the surreal pleasure of going for a drive with her, and I even replicated her look for Halloween one year (accessorized with a pink Barbie car fashioned into a purse and a pink leopard-print fan that she personally gifted me herself years ago).Įmmy Rossum was called by the universe to play the " punk-rock Barbie doll meets Marilyn Monroe meets Betty Boop/Hello Kitty with a little bit of Barbarella" after Gary Baum's viral Hollywood Reporter article from 2017, in which he revealed her true identity as Renee Tami Goldberg, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. As someone who lives in LA, grew up in Southern California, and lives and breathes everything pink, I've always admired the mythos that is Angelyne. Sightings of Angelyne in her car, whether she's driving down Sunset Boulevard or on the 101 Freeway, are considered good luck among locals. And while that hardly equates to A-list celebrity status, she's an icon in her own right. A self-proclaimed "Rorschach test in pink," Angelyne has had brief cameos in movies such as Earth Girls Are Easy, The Disaster Artist, and Volcano (her billboard made an appearance, at least).
