Recently, a report written by The Hollywood Reporter centers on a genealogist who dug up the true identity of Angelyne. According to the source, the Corvette fan’s real name is Renee Tami Goldberg, the daughter of Holocaust survivors.

Seeking to verify the claims, The Hollywood Reporter kept looking, finding plenty of interesting tidbits. Like the fact that she used to be married to the heir of a Beverly Hills dynasty that earned their wealth from the changeable reader board on movie theater marquees.

The story is a compelling look into the life of Angelyne and her rise to fame in Hollywood. Today, she sells merchandise and trinkets out of her pink Corvette Z06, one of the many models she’s owned over the years.
