Talk:Angelyne

message: Obviously, someone who gets as little as work as does Angelyne in the entertainment industry must have other jobs to support herself.  What does she do to make ends meet?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.97.4 (talk) 07:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: When I first moved to L.A., I asked a friend, "How does she pay for all those billboards?" My friend said, "In Hollywood, sometimes it's best not to ask." Codenamemary (talk) 19:15, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If you ever happen to be sitting next to her at Baskin Robbins, you'll see that people come up to her asking to buy signed pictures, t-shirts, books, and albums. She keeps a good supply in the back of the 'vette, and they sell well. Wouldn't be surprised if she took in $400/day (tax free) that way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.115.31 (talk) 23:17, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Day Job? 

message: This woman is considerably older than 50. She's looking at 60 in her rearview mirror. I've seen her face to face. Reality is not pretty.
:to remain on a "neutral" tone, I have ALSO heard that while she is "body hot," plastic surgery has done nothing to slow the aging process.  she does seem to be one of the immortal figures of Hollywood/L.A. though.  It would be interesting to see, for whoever chooses to complete this entry, if the inclusion of the ranting and frequent attacks by a New Times L.A. writer will make it to the entry.  The New Times L.A. is no more (since 2002) but every week there was a new article by this writer where he would talk about his obsessive hate for the pin up. --HatchetFaceBuick 18:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  If she was 44 in 2007, she would have been 11 in 1974 (she is stated to have appeared in a movie then), if she was born in 1958 she was 16 at the time. Does anyone own this movie, Phantom of the Paradise? It should not be that hard to discount at least one of those, and although I acknowledge that original research is not encouraged in Wikipedia articles, I don't see the problem in finding out whether some claim is impossible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreas Willow (talk • contribs) 20:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Much Older Than 50 

message: Doesn't she drive some sort of hot-pink car? jengod 22:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. We spotted her yesterday on the 101 freeway near I-405 driving a hot-pink (well, more Pepto Bismol colored) with California plates 'Angelyne'.  We got next to her doing 60+ mph and she kinda looks like her photos, only much older.  Someone here guessed over 60. She's at least that old.. --68.4.26.97 03:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Pink Corvette?

message: Was Angelyne inspired by the 1954 motion picture, It Should Happen to You, in which an out-of-work model named Gladys Glover, wanting to "be somebody," spends the last of her money to have her name put on a billboard... and through various plot twists leverages herself into national prominence?

thread_title:  It Should Happen to You 

message: I always thought Angelyne was born in Poland and escaped prior to World War II.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.54.18.181 (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Her real name is Angelyne, as that is the name she is known by. Her legal name is Angelyne L'Lyne, her former name was Renée Tami Goldberg, and her birth name was Ronia Tamar Goldberg, all of this according to documents referenced in a recent exposé on the situation. Ms. L'Lyne's former legal name and birth name shouldn't be given as her "real" names since they are neither her legal names nor names which refer to her any longer. 24.222.247.244 (talk) 01:19, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Angelyne's Real Name and Age 

message: The article states that her car has a vanity plate ANGELYNE. This would seem to be a decorative or altered item, as legal vanity license plates in California are limited to 7 characters. (And before anyone brings it up: yes, that means the Back To The Future plate OUTATIME is fake as well.) I'm not saying that she doesn't have placards that say that, but I'm not sure if calling them "vanity plates" is quite accurate, as that suggests a government-issued plate. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:32, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: One of the Flickr links above leads to a picture of a car with ANGLYNE. —Tamfang (talk) 01:08, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a photo of the car, taken by myself.  The license is ANGLYNE.  And somebody had a fender bender with it a couple of weeks ago. Trackinfo (talk) 05:15, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vanity plate 

message: WP:BLP outlines a number of factors to take into account before listing an anonymous person's identity. I don't see any discussion having taken place about this here, so I've provisionally removed all the information in question until some sort of consensus can be reached. The two main questions, it seems to me, are 1) Does Angelyne want this information to be kept private? and 2) If so, does our readers' interest in knowing this information outweigh her interest in having it kept private?
BLP encourages us to be very conservative in any even slightly questionable situation, so I would politely request that no one restore this information unless a consensus is reached to do so. At the moment, I'm personally neutral on whether to restore it or not. I took this action simply as a matter of policy, not of editorial opinion. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 10:35, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not taking a position on inclusion of the information but Angelyne is not "an anonymous person". That would be an entirely different situation. This is a person who has quite literally made a career out of promoting herself. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 12:34, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

message: :
I lived in Los Angeles in 1984, and the Hollywood billboard I remember said Angelyne Rocks. —Tamfang (talk) 21:20, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, there's no way to prove that is what the billboard said, so we have to stick to sources. The source says what you quoted. It'd be OR to change it without a credible source. --Aleccat 01:20, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I know.  I guess I hoped my comment would spur someone (with the same memory and better resources) to find a source! —Tamfang (talk) 06:26, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
