I’'m aware of him. Never occurred to me to care in the slightest what her youth was like. If she wanted to try and keep it secret that was fine with me.

Nothing technically wrong with the story (though I haven’t read it) feels a bit TMZ skeevy than journalistic.

Until the original article appeared I didn’t think I had ever seen anything about Angelyne. However, on TV earlier today they were playing the 1991 movie “Another You”, and this time I noticed that during the opening credits an Angelyne billboard appears in the background of a street scene.
