Angie Dickinson was a well-known actress with a long and successful career. She won awards for her performances and was widely praised for her skills.
Now, at 92 years old, her life looks very different from her Hollywood days. Here’s a look at where she is today.
Angeline Dickinson, better known as Angie, made a name for herself in television. She started in anthology shows in the 1950s before landing a role in “Gun the Man Down.” She later starred in “Rio Bravo,” which earned her a Golden Globe.
Beyond television, she worked in many films, including “Jessica,” “The Chase,” “The Outside Man,” “The Art of Love,” “The Killers,” and “Ocean’s 11” (1964). She was one of the busiest actresses of the ’60s and ’70s.
Her most memorable role was Sergeant Pepper Anderson in “Police Woman.” She was the first actress to lead a television drama about law enforcement, inspiring many young women to consider careers in the police force.
Despite this, Angie never considered herself a feminist. She focused on competing for roles as an actress rather than comparing herself to male actors. She also mentioned that salary differences never bothered her.
Looking back, she felt “Police Woman” could have been more realistic. She wished the show had shown more consequences for criminals, similar to modern crime series.
Throughout her career, Angie was linked to several Hollywood stars, including Frank Sinatra. She later made a cameo in the 2001 remake of “Ocean’s 11.”
In her personal life, she was married twice—first to Gene Dickinson and later to composer Burt Bacharach. Their daughter, Nikki, was born in 1966 with health challenges. Nikki struggled with her eyesight and other difficulties before passing away in 2007.
Angie now leads a quiet life in Beverly Hills. She has largely stepped away from the spotlight, though she has made occasional TV appearances. She once said she felt lucky for the life she had and the experiences she shared. Even in her later years, she continues to value her past while enjoying the present.
