.emmyrossum chats about Angelyne’s impact on modern day influencers, social media, and the power of prosthetics.
, Emmy Rossum transforms into the woman behind the iconic billboards plastered all over Los Angeles in the 1980s — yards-high renderings of a perfectly coiffed blonde with larger-than-life proportions and a knowing smile.
I’ve read a bit about you meeting Angelyne and of her giving her blessing for the project. What was her involvement with this story? In the series, the character of Angelyne seems very aware of her impact — in the first episode, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are mentioned in reference to her being the blueprint for that kind of fame. Do you think she realizes or thinks about what an influence she's been on pop culture?
Very much. I think that Angelyne is somebody who, especially at that time, when she at first rose to power, the patriarchy was firmly in place in a way even more than today. And I think that she knew people would underestimate her based on how she presents. All I can say is that when I first put on the body, the way that it felt to me was like my femininity was weaponized. That I could no longer be vulnerable anymore. That you're almost so much woman, that it's intimidating, in a way.
I suppose I see a true artist. I see someone who's taken their life and made absolutely the most of it, who is an inspiration to a lot of different communities. She's a gay icon. She is an old Hollywood throwback. She's a savvy business woman. It's not for me to determine exactly what the one instance, if there even was one, of sorrow that she often alludes to, because I don't think that any human being can be summed up with one sorrow or trauma.
