Whatever happened to Angie Dickinson who starred as Police Woman ?
The daughter of a small-town newspaper publisher, Dickinson was born Angeline Brown, the middle of three sisters, in Kulm, North Dakota, to parents Frederica and Leo H. Brown. She was considered a cute child from an early age. Her first job was to sell Hershey’s Kisses for five cents, so her siblings could buy ice cream cones. Her family moved to Burbank, California in 1942, when Angie was 11.
When she married a football player, she decided to use the name Angie Dickinson and to pursue an acting career. She was approached by NBC to guest-star on a number of variety shows, including The Colgate Comedy Hour, and became a member of the Rat Pack during which time she worked with longtime friend Frank Sinatra. The two would later star in the film Ocean’s Eleven and she would remain on good terms with Sinatra until his death in 1998.
1990s and later work
As she approached her sixties, Angie Dickinson wasn’t always getting the best roles, but she kept active and working.
In addition to appearing in the Oliver Stone-produced futuristic shocker TV-miniseries Wild Palms (1993) in which she played a sadistic wife of a media mogul, Angie starred as a ruthless Montana spa owner in Gus Van Sant’s too-bizarre-to-be-believed Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993) with Uma Thurman and a cast of stellar cameos— which couldn’t save the picture, generally cited as the Single Worst Movie of the 1990’s; Dickinson played Burt Reynolds’s wife in The Maddening (1995) – a middling thriller; she appeared in the 1995 remake of Sabrina with Harrison Ford; and she also co-starred with Rick Aiello and Robert Cicchini as their mother in the National Lampoon’s The Don’s Analyst comedy.
As the new millennium approached, she played an alcoholic homeless mother to Helen Hunt in Pay it Forward (2000) with Kevin Spacey; mother to Gwyneth Paltrow in Duets (2001); and as Arliss Howard’s mother in the critically well-received though little-seen Big Bad Love (2001) with Debra Winger.
Finally, she returned to make a cameo as herself in Ocean’s Eleven (2001), a stylish remake of a less-skillful Rat Pack heist film produced four decades earlier.
Hope the helps……….
