Angelyne

Biography

Angelyne (born Ronia Tamar Goldberg, October 2, 1950) is an American singer, actress, media personality, and model. She came to prominence in 1984 after the appearance of a series of billboards in and around Los Angeles, California, printed with the word "Angelyne", and picturing her posed suggestively. These billboards caught the attention of local media outlets, and soon she received several offers for film roles, magazine interviews, and television show appearances. She was also noted for concealing her birth name, age, and identity, which did not become public knowledge until 2017. In 1978, she joined her then-boyfriend's punk rock band Baby Blue, which performed in clubs around Los Angeles, but never became financially successful. In 1982, she released her self-titled debut album and her first posters began appearing as a part of the album's promotion. After the launch of a massive billboard campaign in February 1984, she began working on her second album. Driven to Fantasy was released in 1986. Angelyne then appeared in small parts in films such as Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), Dangerous Love (1988), and Homer and Eddie (1989). Her billboards have been featured in a number of movies and television series, including the opening credits of Moonlighting and atop the building occupied by producer Harry Zimm (played by Gene Hackman in Get Shorty), and have been spoofed in shows such as The Simpsons, Futurama, and BoJack Horseman. Another distinctive feature of Angelyne's celebrity persona is her pink Corvette. Angelyne is also a visual artist; she began painting in 1998 and has had several art shows in Los Angeles. She has run for Governor of California twice, during the recall elections of Gray Davis in 2003 and Gavin Newsom in 2021.
