[hide]  *1 Early life ==Early life[edit] == Dickinson, the second of four daughters, was born Angeline Brown (called "Angie" by family and friends) in Kulm, North Dakota, the daughter of Fredericka (née Hehr) and Leo Henry Brown.[1]  Her family is of German descent and she was raised Roman Catholic.[2]  Her father was a small-town newspaper publisher and editor, working on the Kulm Messenger and the Edgeley Mail.[3] [4]  In 1942, her family moved to Burbank, California, where she attended Bellarmine-Jefferson High School, graduating in 1947 at 15 years of age. The previous year, she had won the Sixth Annual Bill of Rights essay contest. She studied at Glendale Community College and in 1954 graduated from Immaculate Heart College with a degree in business. Taking a cue from her publisher father, she had intended to be a writer. While a student from 1950–52, she worked as a secretary at Lockheed Air Terminal in Burbank (now Bob Hope Airport) and in a parts factory. She became Angie Dickinson in 1952, when she married football player Gene Dickinson. ==Career[edit] == ===Early career[edit] === Dickinson entered a beauty pageant in 1953 and placed second. The exposure brought her to the attention of a television industry producer, who asked her to consider a career in acting. She studied the craft and a few years later was approached by NBC to guest-star on a number of variety shows, including The Colgate Comedy Hour. She soon met Frank Sinatra, who became a lifelong friend. She later was cast as Sinatra's wife in the film Ocean's 11.

On New Year's Eve 1954, Dickinson made her television acting debut in an episode of Death Valley Days. This led to other roles in such productions as Matinee Theatre (eight episodes), ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill_Jr. Buffalo Bill Jr.], City Detective, It's a Great Life(two episodes), Gray Ghost, General Electric Theater, Broken Arrow, The People's Choice (twice), Meet McGraw (twice), Northwest Passage, Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Tombstone Territory, Cheyenne, and The Restless Gun''.

In 1956, Dickinson was cast as Ann Drew, who slips a gun to her jailed husband, Harry (John Craven), a former associate of the Jesse James gang, in the ABC/Desilu western series, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, starring Hugh O'Brian. In the story line, Harry vowed never to go to prison and was shot to death while escaping.[5]

In 1958, she was cast as Laura Meadows in the episode "The Deserters" of the ABC/Warner Brothers western series, Colt .45, with Wayde Preston. The guest cast also included Michael Dante as Ab Saunders and Myron Healey as an unnamed fur trader.[6]  That year she also played the role of defendant Mrs.Fargo in the Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the One-Eyed Witness."

Dickinson went on to create memorable characters in Mike Hammer, Wagon Train, and Men into Space. In 1957, Dickinson appeared along with Richard Boone in Have Gun Will Travel in the first season episode entitled "A Matter of Ethics", and in 1965, she had a recurring role as Carol Tredman on NBC's Dr. Kildare. She had a memorable turn as the duplicitous murder conspirator in a 1964 episode of The Fugitive series with David Janssen and fellow guest starRobert Duvall. She was at her evil best as an unfaithful wife and bank robber in the 1958 "Wild Blue Yonder" episode of Rod Cameron's underrated syndicated television series State Trooper.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dickinson's motion picture career began with a small, uncredited role in Lucky Me (1954) starring Doris Day, The Return of Jack Slade (1955), Man with the Gun (1955), and Hidden Guns (1956). She had her first starring role in Gun the Man Down (1956) with James Arness, followed by the Sam Fuller cult film China Gate (1957), which depicted an early view of the Vietnam War.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Rejecting the Marilyn Monroe/Jayne Mansfield style of platinum blonde sex-symbolism because she felt it would narrow her acting options, Dickinson initially allowed studios to lighten her naturally-brunette hair to only honey-blonde. She appeared early on mainly in B-movies or westerns, including Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend (1957) co-starring with James Garner. ===Leading lady<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[edit] === Dickinson with John Wayne in Rio Bravo<p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In 1959, Dickinson appeared in Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo, in which she played a flirtatious gambler called "Feathers" who becomes attracted to the town sheriff played by Dickinson's childhood idol John Wayne. The film co-starred Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, and Walter Brennan. When Hawks sold his personal contract with her to a major studio without her knowledge, she was unhappy. Dickinson nonetheless became one of the more prominent leading ladies of the next decade, beginning with The Bramble Bush with Richard Burton and Ocean's 11 with friends Sinatra and Martin, two films released in 1960. These were followed by the political potboiler A Fever in the Blood (1961), a Belgian Congo-based melodrama, The Sins of Rachel Cade (1961), in which she played a missionary nurse tempted by lust, and the title role in Jean Negulesco's Jessica (1962) with Maurice Chevalier, in which she plays a young midwife who is resented by the married women of the town. Angie would also share the screen with friend Gregory Peck in the comedy-drama Captain Newman, M.D. (1963).

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In The Killers (1964), a film originally intended to be the very first made-for-television movie but released to theatres due to its violent content, Dickinson played a femme fatale opposite future U.S. President Ronald Reagan in his last movie role. This movie was directed by Don Siegel. It was a remake of the 1946 version based on a story by Ernest Hemingway.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[7]

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dickinson co-starred in the comedy The Art of Love (1965), in which she played the love interest of both James Garner and Dick Van Dyke. She appeared in a star-studded Arthur Penn/Sam Spiegel production, The Chase (1966) along with Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, and Robert Duvall. That same year, she appeared in Cast a Giant Shadow with Kirk Douglas.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dickinson's best movie of this era was arguably John Boorman's cult classic Point Blank (1967), a lurid crime drama with Lee Marvin as a criminal betrayed by his wife and best friend and out for revenge. Epitomizing the stark urban mood of the period, the film's reputation has grown through the years.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Westerns would continue to be a part of her work in 1969, when she starred in Young Billy Young with Robert Mitchum, and in Sam Whiskey, where she gave a young Burt Reynolds his first on-screen kiss.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In 1971, she played a lascivious substitute high school teacher in the dark comedy Pretty Maids All in a Row for director Roger Vadim and writer-producer Gene Roddenberry, in which her character seduces a sexually inexperienced student, acted out by John David Carson, against the backdrop of a series of murders of female students at the same high school; it was a box-office failure. In 1972, she played in The Outside Man, a French movie shot in LA, with Jean-Louis Trintignant, directed by Jacques Deray. In this movie she plays the wife of a mobster. In 1973, she co-starred with Roy Thinnes in the supernatural thriller The Norliss Tapes, a TV-movie produced and directed by Dan Curtis. One of Dickinson's best-known and most sexually provocative movie roles became the tawdry widow Wilma McClatchie from the Great Depression romp Big Bad Mama (1974) with William Shatner and Tom Skerritt. Although well into her forties at the time, she appeared nude in several scenes, creating interest in the movie and a new generation of male fans for Dickinson. ===Police Woman<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[edit] === Dickinson as Pepper Anderson, 1975.<p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dickinson returned to the small screen in March 1974 to play lead in an episode of the critically acclaimed hit anthology series Police Story. That one guest appearance proved to be so popular that NBCoffered Dickinson her own television show which became a ground-breaking weekly police series called Police Woman; it was the first successful hour-long dramatic television series to feature a woman as the star of the show. At first, Dickinson was reluctant to accept the role, but when producers told her she could become a household name she accepted the role.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the series, she played Sgt. Suzanne "Pepper" Anderson, an officer of the Los Angeles Police Department's Criminal Conspiracy Unit. The show became a hit, reaching number one in many countries in which it aired during its first year. It ran for four seasons and Dickinson would win a Golden Globe award, and receive Emmy nominations for three consecutive years.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Co-starring on the show was Earl Holliman as Sergeant Bill Crowley, Anderson's commanding officer, along with Charles Dierkop as investigator Pete Royster and Ed Bernard as investigator Joe Styles.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The series ran from 1974 to 1978. The same year the show ended, Dickinson reprised her Pepper Anderson character on the television special Ringo, co-starring with Ringo Starr and John Ritter. She also parodied the part in the 1975 and 1979 Bob Hope Christmas Specials for NBC. She would do the same years later on the 1987 Christmas episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Police Woman caused a surge of applications for employment from women to police departments around the United States; journalists who have in recent years examined the inspiration for long-term female law enforcement officials to adopt this vocation as their own have been surprised by how often Dickinson's Police Woman has been referenced.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[8]

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dickinson and Police Woman proved that a female lead could carry an hour-long television series, paving the way for several female-starring, hour-long TV series during the 1970s and 1980s, such asCharlie's Angels, Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman and Cagney and Lacey. In 1987, the Los Angeles Police Department awarded Dickinson an honorary doctorate, which led her to quip, "Now you can call me Doctor Pepper." ===The 1980s<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[edit] === <p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After appearing in the television mini-series Pearl (1978), Dickinson returned to the big screen in Brian De Palma's erotic thriller Dressed to Kill (1980). The role of Kate Miller, a sexually frustrated New York housewife, earned her a 1981Saturn Award for Best Actress.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">She took a less substantial role in 1981's Death Hunt, reuniting her with Lee Marvin, and also appeared in Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen. Earlier that year, she had been the first choice to play the character Krystle Carrington on the television series Dynasty but, deciding she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, she turned it down; the role instead went to Linda Evans.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[9]  In the mid-1980s Dickinson declined the role of Sable Colby on the Dynasty spin-off, The Colbys.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-10" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[10]

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After nixing her own Johnny Carson-produced prospective sitcom, The Angie Dickinson Show in 1980 after only two episodes had been shot because she did not feel she was funny enough, the private-eye series Cassie & Co. became her unsuccessful attempt at a television comeback. She then starred in several television movies, such as One Shoe Makes It Murder (1982), Jealousy (1984), A Touch of Scandal (1984), and Stillwatch (1987). She also had a pivotal role in the highly rated mini-series Hollywood Wives (1985), based on a novel by Jackie Collins.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In 1982, and again in 1986, Dickinson appeared in two of Perry Como's Christmas specials for the ABC television network, in both of which she did something she was not known to have done before: singing. The specials in which she appeared, and in which she sang songs, were Perry Como's Christmas In Paris, produced on location in Paris, France, which was transmitted on Saturday, December 18, 1982, and The Perry Como Christmas Special, produced on location in San Antonio, Texas, and transmitted on Saturday, December 6, 1986. As of early January of 2013, these two specials were not known to be available on home video.<sup class="Template-Fact" style="line-height:1em;white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed]  Dickinson later denied having sung on camera since then in an interview with Larry King conducted at the approximate time of her appearance in Duets.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="line-height:1em;white-space:nowrap;">[episode needed]

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In motion pictures, Dickinson reprised her role as Wilma McClatchie for Big Bad Mama II (1987) and completed the television movie Kojak: Fatal Flaw, in which she was reunited with Telly Savalas.
