The billboard icon operated her promotional company from an office on Selma Avenue in Hollywood for 18 years until she and others were forced to move to make way for a redevelopment project. Now the celeb is pitching her second run for California governor. (Anne Cusack / LAT)

Angelyne, in her famous pink Corvette, cruises along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles in 2002. Because a redevelopment project forced her to move out of her longtime Hollywood office last fall, she now wants developers to pay for reprinting promotional materials that bear her old address--a task she estimates would cost $400,000.
