Angie Dickinson (born September 30, 1931) is a Golden Globe-winning American television and film actress, perhaps best known for her role as Sergeant Leann "Pepper" Anderson in the 1970s crime drama Police Woman, which lead to her win of Golden Globe Award in 1975.
In 1953, she placed second in a beauty pageant. After conquering the beauty pageant trail, and beginning to establish a name for herself on the big screen, Dickinson became one of the more versatile, popular and younger leading character actors of the 1950s and 1960s, guest-starring in dozens of TV series. Soon after her first marriage to Gene Dickinson, she decided to pursue an acting career under the name Angie Dickinson. She 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 played Sinatra's wife in the film Ocean's Eleven. She four decades later made a brief cameo in the 2001 version with George Clooney. Dickinson is often referred to as an honorary member of the Rat Pack.
On New Year's Eve 1954, Dickinson made her acting debut in an episode of Death Valley Days. This led to other roles in such productions as Buffalo Bill Jr, eight episodes of Matinee Theatre, General Electric Theater, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Broken Arrow, Gunsmoke, Cheyenne, Meet McGraw, The Restless Gun, Perry Mason, Mike Hammer, Wagon Train, Men Into Space, and a memorable turn as the duplicitous murder conspirator in a 1964 episode of the classic The Fugitive series with David Janssen and fellow guest star Robert Duvall. In 1965, she had a recurring role as Carol Tredman on Dr. Kildare.
Her film career began with small roles in Lucky Me (a 1954 cameo) with 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, and the Sam Fuller cult film China Gate (1957) which depicted an early view of the internal conflicts in Vietnam. She appeared mainly in B-movies early on, westerns, including Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend (1957) co-starring with James Garner. It was another western that finally propelled her into Hollywood's A-list: Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo (1959), in which she played a flirtatious gambler named Feathers who is almost locked up by the town sheriff played by her childhood idol John Wayne. The film co-starred Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan.
In the early 1960s, Dickinson starred in numerous movies, making her one of the more prominent leading ladies of the decade, co-starring in The Bramble Bush with Richard Burton and Ocean's Eleven with Frank Sinatra, both 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 (1962), in which she played a missionary nurse tempted by lust; and the European travelogue Rome Adventure (also known as Lovers Must Learn) in 1962, where Dickinson gets to deliver relatively wicked seductress dialogue; and 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.
In The Killers, a film originally intended to be the very first made-for-TV movie but sent to the theatres due to its violent content, Angie, reaching the apex of her skills as a great femme fatale, is slapped by a villainous boyfriend, played by future U.S. President Ronald Reagan in his last movie role. (Dickinson was rumored to have been romantically involved with John F. Kennedy at one time, thereby providing two intriguing connections to American presidents). But she has never spoken publicly of a relationship with JFK.
Dickinson co-starred in the so-so comedy The Art of Love (1965), in which she plays the love interest of both James Garner and Dick Van Dyke. She enjoyed moderate success in a string of movies made during the later 1960s and early 1970s: the Arthur Penn/Sam Spiegel production, The Chase (1966), flooded with present-and-future stars like Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, Miriam Hopkins and others.
Dickinson's best movie of this era was arguably John Boorman's cult classic Point Blank (1967) with Lee Marvin as a betrayed thief and convict escaped from Alcatraz (and the first movie ever filmed at the infamous prison) out for revenge and the money he believes is due him. Epitomizing the stark mood of the period, the film did not acquire an audience or much critical appreciation until years later. In 1969, she starred in another Western, Young Billy Young with Robert Mitchum and Jack Kelly, and in Sam Whiskey where she gave young Burt Reynolds his first on-screen kiss. In 1971, she played a lascivious high school teacher in the dark comedy Pretty Maids All in a Row with Rock Hudson, and a scary doctor in the sci-fi flick The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler. One of her best-remembered movie roles is the tawdry widow Wilma McClatchie in the Depression romp Big Bad Mama (1974) with William Shatner and Tom Skerritt; her nude scenes set tongues wagging because this was then considered quite a risky move for an established actress of a certain age (she was 42).
Dickinson returned to the small screen in March 1974 to play a character on an episode of the critically-acclaimed hit anthology series Police Story. That one guest appearance proved to be so popular that NBC had decided to turn it into a weekly detective series to be called Police Woman, which would make her the first successful female TV police officer. (Beverly Garland and Anne Francis had actually done it first, but their shows had been short-lived). Dickinson played Sgt. Leann "Pepper" Anderson, a cool, sexy, classy blond member of the Los Angeles Police Department's Criminal Conspiracy Unit. The role consolidated Dickinson's star status and as an over-40 sex symbol. The series became perhaps the first successful prime-time drama to feature a woman in the title role. As a result, she became a pop icon of the 1970s. Police Woman was shown in more than 70 countries, becoming the number one show in many.
In 1982, when she was 50 and yet to undergo any surgery, a panel of Hollywood designers and make-up artists ranked her first in a list of Best Female Star Bodies. In a sexy and iconic photograph, Dickinson provided one of the most famous covers of Esquire, fronting a 1983 list of "Women We Love". The provocative 1966 photo featured Angie bare-bottomed and clad only in a sweater. It became so legendary that Britney Spears reproduced the pose for Esquire in 2003, the Victoria's Secret Angels and Danity Kane in 2008. An avid poker player, Dickinson during the summer of 2004 participated in the second season of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. After announcing her name, host Dave Foley said "Sometimes, when we say Celebrity, we actually mean it."
