Scott Hennig is portrayed by Hamish Linklater in the Peacock’s miniseries, Angelyne.
He is a portrait illustrator by profession.
However, most people know him as the fan club president of Angelyne, the L.A. Billboard legend. With the release of Peacock’s show on the Hollywood icon, Scott has been one of the hot topics of discussion.
He has been supporting her since the late 1980s. As someone who likes to remain “behind the scenes,” he hasn’t appeared much in public.
Wikipedia: Who Is Scott Hennig And Where Is He Now?
According to the August 2017 report from Hollywood Reporter Gary Baum, Scott Hennig is from Idaho.
As for his current whereabouts, he might still live there. However, Angelyne lives in the Ventura County area of Thousand Oaks. She moved there after selling her Malibu condo in 2010.
Sixty at that time, Scott should be somewhere around 65 years old now. In comparison, his idol/close friend is 71. Likewise, we know little about him, including his family.
In contrast, we know that Angelyne was the daughter of Polish Jews who had met in the Chmielnik ghetto during World War II, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gary Baum describes Scott as a portrait illustrator. However, he is well-known to many as the enigmatic L.A. billboard diva’s assistant, close friend, and gatekeeper.
However, Gary was able to get his interview to discuss a self-described genealogist, Ed Thompson, who, a few years earlier, had come up with the facts to prove Angelyne’s identity was Renee Goldberg.
The reporter got the confirmation from Angelyne’s ex-husband, Michael Strauss.
Just like Angelyne, Scott’s life remains a mystery. He doesn’t seem to be on social.

Lucy Tcherniak & Matt Spicer-directed show, released on 19 May 2022, starred Emmy Rossum as the L.A. Billboard legend, Angelyne. It dwells on the life of the star. According to the critics, the show only talks about the person behind the persona.
