Angelyne (2022)

"Angelyne" is the limited series dramatizing the strange rise of the self-made billboard icon who turned mystery into a Los Angeles legend. Emmy Rossum buries herself in the title role, layering wigs, prosthetics, and a performance that leans hard into the character's manufactured allure and the messy woman underneath it. The show doesn't shy away from the sexual persona Angelyne built her fame on, and that comes through in the footage collected here, with 4 scenes ranging from topless shots to fully explicit sex scenes. It's a rare chance to see Rossum shed the polish of her usual roles and go all in on something rawer.
