The American actress Angie Dickinson, whose birth name is Angeline Brown, was born on September 30, 1931, in Kulm, North Dakota. She is well-known for her many roles in both film and television.
She was the second of four daughters born to Leo Henry and Fredericka Brown in a tiny village where she grew up. After her family relocated to Burbank, California, she finished high school there.
After winning a beauty pageant in 1953, Angie Dickinson started her career with bit parts on television. Her 1956 appearance on “The Colgate Comedy Hour” was her big break. She quickly became a household name on American television thanks to the opportunities presented by this exposure, which led to larger roles.
The 1959 Western “Rio Bravo,” in which Dickinson co-starred with John Wayne and Dean Martin, was her major film debut. She became a major Hollywood actress after starring as the fiercely independent Feathers, for which she received critical praise.
With the 1970s TV series “Police Woman,” Dickinson had tremendous popularity. She became famous and won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Sergeant Suzanne “Pepper” Anderson. In a genre that has long been dominated by men, the show’s strong, autonomous female lead was a groundbreaking development.
