Not So in the Pink
The Capitol Records building, the Marlboro Man billboard, the Hollywood sign, the Beverly HIlls Hotel, huge-breasted Angelyne and her pink Corvette. These are the sacred icons of Los Angeles. The Marlboro billboard was removed for health reasons, the Hollywood sign almost burned to the ground during a brush fire, and now Angelyne has had her office/storage space taken from her to make way for a Whole Foods. Where's the respect? Because the redevelopment project along Vine between Hollywood and Sunset has forced her to relocate from her very-longtime Hollywood office, the ageless personality is demanding that developers pay her $400,000 for reprinting her inventory of promotional materials that bear her old address. Because, really, even though she ran for California governor in 2003, Angelyne, is nothing but promotional materials. (Photo of Angelyne among her materials via LA Times)
