<ul class="summary-list"><li>LA icon <keyword id="13903686" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="angelyne" source="Orion">Angelyne</keyword> spoke candidly to The Guardian about the <keyword id="12292551" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="peacock" source="Orion">Peacock</keyword> miniseries based on her life.</li><li>The miniseries stars "Shameless" actor <keyword id="13903685" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="emmy-rossum" source="Orion">Emmy Rossum</keyword> as Angelyne and costars Martin Freeman and Lukas Gage.</li></ul>LA billboard icon Angelyne has shared her thoughts on "<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/angelyne">Angelyne</a>," the Peacock miniseries about her life. Angelyne rose to fame in the 1980s after appearing on a series of billboards across LA. She appeared in Hollywood movies, released singles, and became a cult legend in the city. "Angelyne" stars "Shameless" actor Emmy Rossum as the larger-than-life personality and is based on <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/angelyne-la-billboard-diva-30-years-1025678/">The Hollywood Reporter's investigation into Angelyne</a>. Speaking to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/may/19/blond-billboard-bombshell-angelyne-la-icon-martin-freeman-emmy-rossum">The Guardian</a>, Angelyne said, "There's only one Angelyne, and I'm concerned that show might mislead people."She said she initially "refused" to speak to the creators of "Angelyne" but relented after "they gave me a lot of money — millions — because my name is trademarked.""They couldn't do it without me," she said. "They wanted to make me executive producer. And I initially agreed because I didn't know it was gonna be so bad."Angelyne then went on to describe Rossum's portrayal as "a bad pastiche.""You know, they've tried to do Marilyn Monroe so many times and they could never get it right. But Marilyn was an actress — whereas I made myself," she said. "I don't want to watch it. It's disturbing to see someone misrepresent a beautiful artwork. She's got a long face."The Guardian reported that their phone interview with Angelyne then cut out and, after redialling, Angelyne said "the universe hung up because I started being very childish.""The universe said, 'No, no, no!' I try to stay positive," she continued. "I'm an artist. I paint in the mirror. Everything has to be perfect — my eyes, my nose, my mouth. And for someone to take that and mess it up is painful. I can't even watch it."<div type="image" title="Emmy Rossum in character as Angelyne, a woman with a big blonde wig and tight red dress that accentuates her body's curves." height="1333" width="2000" msid="91671222" hostid="261"></div>Rossum <a href="https://www.insider.com/emmy-rossum-says-angelyne-is-love-letter-to-the-icon-2022-5">previously spoke to Insider</a> about the series, describing Angelyne as "not" a hands-on executive producer. The billboard star <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/02/angelyne-joins-peacock-series-as-executive-producer-as-lucy-tcherniak-inks-first-look-deal-with-ucp-1202863722/">originally joined the production as an executive producer</a> but received no formal credit on the series. "I hope that when she finally sees the show, she will see that this is an absolute love letter and a tribute to the woman that she is," Rossum said. "I have nothing but love and respect in my heart for her. And I think that the show is a lot of fun and we'll honor her magical essence."All episodes of "Angelyne" are now available on Peacock.

So, whatever you see in me, that's the story that you should tell."The former "Shameless" star added that as "somebody who has made pay equity such a near and dear thing to my heart," she wanted to make sure Angelyne was "compensated for her contributions to the show.""And not only that, but her immense contribution to pop culture throughout the last five decades," Rossum said.Angelyne has not spoken publicly about the series but she has replied to fans in her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CYzYs8EBuqB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">Instagram comments</a>, saying the series was "canceled" and "fraudulent."

In order to transform into the '80s icon, Rossum spent up to five hours in the makeup chair getting heavy prosthetic breasts applied to her chest. In a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/emmy-rossum-angelyne-series-peacock-1235143335/">new Hollywood Reporter profile about the star</a>, journalist Mikey O'Connell writes that "Rossum got blisters from the fake breasts and suffered tear duct issues from wearing two pairs of contact lenses and from the oppressive eye makeup during the shoot."Rossum, who has been the "champion" of the series from the start, showed up to a key business meeting with NBC Universal in full costume with three-pound fake breasts and all."The physicality of the character was challenging," Rossum told The Hollywood Reporter. "The body is heavy, yet it has to feel light and effervescent."<div type="image" title="Emmy Rossum in character as Angelyne, a woman with a big blonde wig and tight red dress that accentuates her body's curves." height="1333" width="1778" msid="91504383" hostid="261"></div>Rossum is an executive producer for the show via her company Composition 8. Her husband, "Mr. Robot" creator Sam Esmail, is also an executive producer for "Angelyne." "When I say that there are times where I did not recognize her because she was lost in this person, I really mean it," Esmail told The Hollywood Reporter. "This is my wife I'm talking about. It's kind of eerie."Angelyne, who was born Ronia Tamar Goldberg in 1950, became a recognizable fixture of Los Angeles life when she paid for a series of billboards to be erected in the California city in 1984. The billboards showed Angelyne posing in lingerie with her name spelled out in hot-pink lettering.She was known for driving her hot-pink Corvette around the city, and dabbled in everything from acting to singing to running in California's governor races more than once.

Some of their favorite ports of call have been in Singapore, Italy, Canada, and the Bahamas. "When planning out cruises, I try to stay on the same ship as long as possible, as long as it is cost-effective," Angelyn Burk <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/living-on-a-cruise-ship-cost-benefits/index.html">told CNN</a>.While the couple has set aside enough money to spend up to $135 a day, it often works out to be much less than that."Currently, this year, we have secured 86 cruise days with an average all-in cost of $89/day for both of us," she told the outlet, which works out to $32,485 a year. "Which includes room, food, entertainment, transportation, gratuity, port fees, and taxes."As frequent cruise travelers, the couple have taken advantage of loyalty programs to secure major discounts on trips, she added.According to <a href="https://www.zillow.com/seattle-wa/home-values/">Zillow</a>, the typical home value in the couple's hometown of Seattle is $984,863, and the cost of homes in the area increased 17.8% over the past year. The average monthly cost of a 30-year fixed mortgage with a 20% down payment in the city is about $5,034 a month — or $60,408 a year."We don't plan to permanently live on land in the future," Burk told 7News."Where else can you have your resort take you to different countries while relaxing by the pool or sleeping in a comfortable bed?" she told CNN.Burk did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

A couple sold their house to live permanently on cruise ships because they said it's cheaper than paying a mortgage

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Seattle couple decided to retire early so that they could live on <keyword id="11930971" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="cruise" source="Orion">cruise</keyword> ships full-time.</li><li>Angelyn and Richard Burk said it made financial sense and cost less than a mortgage.</li></ul>A married couple from Seattle say it made financial sense for them to sell their home, retire early, and live on cruise ships full-time. Angelyn and Richard Burk's story was first reported by Australian outlet <a href="https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/couple-live-aboard-cruise-ships-after-calculating-it-makes-more-financial-sense-than-a-mortgage-c-6678207">7News</a> and the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/cruise-couple-live-ships-retired-travel-b2077350.html">Independent</a>. Former accountant Angelyn Burk calculated that for close to £35 ($43) a day, which covers the cost of all meals and drinks, they could make cruise ships their permanent home. "We love to <keyword id="11896628" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="travel" source="Orion">travel</keyword> and we were searching for a way to continuously travel in our <keyword id="11909870" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="retirement" source="Orion">retirement</keyword> that made financial sense," Burk told 7News. The couple set off on their first cruise in May 2021 after selling their home. Since then, they say that on the rare occasion they sleep on land, they stay with friends or relatives between cruises."I believe this is achievable for the everyday cruiser, but it does take effort," Burk said, adding that they plan their next cruise in advance.The couple has visited Italy, Iceland, and Singapore since embarking on their new life at sea and have been on a 51-day cruise from Seattle to Sydney. "Our original plan was to stay in different countries for a month at a time and eventually retire to cruise ships as we got older," Burk added.Living at sea seems to be a growing trend. Former cruise director, <a href="https://www.insider.com/author/christine-kesteloo">Christine Kesteloo</a>, told Insider in April that she <a href="https://www.insider.com/living-on-a-cruise-ship-what-its-like-cost-photos-2022-4">lives on a cruise ship</a> for half the year after losing her job during the pandemic. Kesteloo now sails with her husband, a cruise ship chief engineer, as a "wife on board." She spends the other half of the year at their home in the Netherlands. One company that is looking to capitalize on the trend is Storylines, a residential community at sea, according to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/see-inside-luxury-cruise-ship-where-penthouses-cost-8-milllion-2022-2#the-ship-is-equipped-with-a-marina-a-farmers-market-and-even-an-onboard-school-what-isnt-on-the-ship-isnt-worth-having-alister-punton-cofounder-and-ceo-of-storylines-the-firm-developing-the-ship-told-insider-3">Insider's Abby Wallace</a>. Storylines is offering fully furnished homes aboard its new cruise ship, starting at $500,000. The ship will feature a movie theater, three swimming pools, 20 restaurants and a wellness center. "What isn't on the ship isn't worth having," Alister Punton, the cofounder and CEO of Storylines, said.The company is selling leasehold agreements for 12, 24, or 60 years and will begin its 1,000-day journey to six continents in 2024.
