Emmy Rossum

The season is over for NBC's Law & Order lineup, ABC's Station 19 and Big Sky, FX's Atlanta and Halo on Paramount+ in a flurry of season finales, ...

- Bull(10/9c, CBS): In the series’ penultimate episode, Bull ( Michael Weatherly) and his TAC team are conflicted by their latest case involving a building owner accused of killing tenants by carbon monoxide poisoning. - Young Sheldon(8/7c, CBS): No one hates change more than child genius Sheldon Cooper ( Iain Armitage), and in the Season 5 finale, he’s in for a shock, because puberty has arrived. In the docuseries finale, he visits President Barack Obama(an executive producer) to discuss if change is even possible. You might find yourself crying U.N.C.L.E. (as in The Man From) while watching this stylized 1960-era spy caper based on Len Deighton’s bestseller (which inspired a 1965 film that helped make Michael Caine a star). Peaky Blinders’ Joe Cole has insolent charm to spare as bad-boy agent Harry Palmer, plucked from prison by a rogue bureau (led by the sly Tom Hollander) to find a kidnapped scientist during the height of the Cold War nuclear arms race. Among the guests expected to drop in: Peyton and Eli Manning (naturally) plus Troy Aikman, Charles Barkley, Fred Couples and Jon Hamm. To save the day, Number One ( Rebecca Romijn) will need to do some soul-searching of her own. Ouch. For Al ( Adhir Kalyan), the problem is how to deal with new girlfriend Cindy ( Jayma Mays), whose possessiveness is getting too close for comfort. (The show is returning for a second season, so somebody’s bound to survive.) Also streaming on Paramount+: the third episode of the satisfying space saga Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, in which Capt. Pike ( Anson Mount) and Spock ( Ethan Peck) are stranded during an ion storm on a planet notorious for its experiments in gene modification. For Riley ( Parker Young), this means confessing to Freddy ( Brian Thomas Smith), who’s engaged to his ex-wife Vanessa ( Kelli Goss), that the ex-couple has been hooking up again. On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (9/8c), former prosecutor Rafael Barba ( Raúl Esparza) returns, acting for the defense when Rollins ( Kelli Giddish) asks him to represent a domestic-violence victim that her boyfriend Carisi ( Peter Scanavino) has charged with a crime. All three series in Thursday’s L&O franchise have been renewed for next season, and the rebooted mothership wraps its first season (officially the show’s 21st) with the murder of an off-duty NYPD detective sending Detective Cosgrove ( Jeffrey Donovan) to SVU’s Benson ( Mariska Hargitay) for help in solving the case. AMC+ presents a stylized series version of the 1960s-era spy caper The Ipcress File. Emmy Rossum stars in and produces Angelyne, a limited series about a woman who sought fame by putting her image on L.A. billboards.

"I remember shaking because I was scared not to see or hear myself at all. And then I just felt an immense wave of possibility; I could do anything."

I feel like only Angelyne can ever be Angelyne. In the end, I look up and say, “What more do you want?” And then all of the images with me go black and are replaced with images of her. Even when we were interviewing Kate to do the job, she asked me if I was aware of what the process would be for me and how many hours it would take. We’re much more interested in the power struggle to control the image and the narrative of Angelyne the icon. Her insistence on preserving the mystery and enigma and not giving it all away is kind of her driving the car, preserving that fantasy for us, so she can be whatever we need her to be. There are so many people who worked on this that are simply A-plus. I also hope we have told a story about identity, reinvention, and control over your life that is empowering and universally emotional. I hope it will elevate the work of the many artists who worked on it, from our incredible production designers to costume designers to the directors. The reason I think she gave us her blessing to do this is we were interested in returning that mystique to her and using her own words. When they spun me around to look into the mirror after it all, nothing of me was there. I remember Kate told me she would dream every single night about Angelyne’s eyeliner; she would dream of doing it and perfecting it. For me, my responsibility was to do my 10,000 hours to perfect Angelyne’s voice and try to bring humanity to every moment, while also wildly coloring outside the lines depending on who is in control of the narrative in the scene. It was important for me to handle it tenderly. The first time with all the makeup and prosthetics, it took 11 and a half hours.

Emmy Rossum, who stars as pink Corvette-driving L.A. icon in the new Peacock series, remembers her meeting with the real-life Angelyne.

“She understood the power of her image and the fierce control and preservation that that living, breathing performance art needs to survive. She continued, “The more that I learned about her, the more mystery there was with her and I just thought, wow, what a conundrum — how can you be so known and yet so unknown at the same time? I hope more people fall in love with her and appreciate her for what a trailblazer she is as the precursor to social media.”

How did Emmy Rossum turn into the titular blonde bombshell of Peacock's new series Angelyne? She told E! News all about her incredible (and painful!)

So, that was all neat for me." "I asked him about his experiences, which was very helpful. "I did make her a little Angelyne Halloween costume," Rossum shared. Playing the fictitious filmmaker Max Allen, actor Lukas Gage got a special surprise from the man his character is based on. "Many, many coaches helped me kind of figure out who my version of Angelyne was." Oh and she bleached her naturally dark eyebrows.

Emmy Rossum plays the blonde billboard loving bombshell, who is famous just for being famous and driving around LA in a pink Corvette. Rossum tells ABC Audio ...

It was incredibly important to me that she was very well compensated for all of her contributions to the story.” “She’s kind of done the impossible…you know, maintain the mystery and the enigma for decades.” “And the more I asked people like, who is Angelyne? Everyone would light up and then tell a completely different story.”

The miniseries stars "Shameless" actor Emmy Rossum as Angelyne and costars Martin Freeman and Lukas Gage. "It's disturbing to see someone misrepresent a ...

And I think that the show is a lot of fun and we'll honor her magical essence." "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. Rossum previously spoke to Insider about the series, describing Angelyne as "not" a hands-on executive producer. I can't even watch it." But Marilyn was an actress — whereas I made myself," she said. "They wanted to make me executive producer.

Telling what amounts to an origin story, the five-part bio-drama tracks her rise from nobody to recognizable B-movie actress/singer/self-promoter/brand, all built on what Rossum calls a “fantastical, kaleidoscopic narrative” that isn’t always reliable. A Southern California staple during most of the ’80s, the buxom, buffonted blonde starlet stared down at Los Angelenos from massive billboards and turned heads on the street with her hot pink wheels, leaving everyone to wonder who the hell she really was. “How can you be so famous and yet so unknown?”
