All About Angie

Burt Bacharach, in his memoirs, wrote about how Marlene was besotted with the him, but he did not respond in kind, which humilated her. When he up and married Miss Angie Dickinson, Marlene was enraged and called her a cunt (softened to "bitch" by Bacharach's publisher). While touring in South Africa, Dietrich had voodoo dolls made in Angie's likeness, which she stuck with pins.

Fuck you, OP!

That's crazy, R1.

Burt's third wife, Carole Bayer Sager, wrote in her diary that Burt wouldn't have sex without putting a porn movie on. Like ever. He was mean to her as well. Just an all around jerk.

I used to love her interview segments on Johnny Carson because she enjoyed flirting with him.

POLICE WOMAN’s theme was another favourite for its grittiness and sensuality.

Sexy broad.

I am Miss Angie Dickinson!

As I have said before on DL, I worked at Warner Bros when Angie was filming Police Woman.

Most of the artists would just ignore us as they walked around the lot. However, Angie was very friendly.

For example, she wore a prostitute outfit for certain Police Woman scenes. As she walked by the computer center to the Police Woman set, Angie would joke with us computer geeks. Like taking her robe off and do a little dance revealing her almost naked body.

"I dress for women and I undress for men."

I read Burt Bacharach's memoir and Angie was not at all pleased with how he treated their challenged daughter. I believe it was one of the reasons why their marriage broke up. The daughter has since passed away.

She really does come off like a great person, R7. Glad to hear you had such a positive experience with her.

Even the behind-the-scenes hot mic that captured her backstage when she walked off This Is Your Life reveals her to be a very caring, polite person. She just had personal principles and wanted to stand up for herself.

I just can’t get over the idea that the lady who embodied those vivacious, HORNY, fully nude women from Big Bad Mama and Dressed To Kill ...is now EIGHTY-NINE. WTF!

When Angie made the film Rio Bravo with John Wayne she said that the attraction was definitely there and she could have easily married him if the timing had been right.

Angie was known as a beautiful glamour girl, not a great actress although she wasn't a bad one either.

She's always been difficult. Once they tried to do a This is Your Life show with her and she cursed out the host Pat Sajak and walked off the set. Several of her dear friends, including Bob Hope, were waiting backstage to honor her and she just walked off in a huff.

She was great on animal kingdom.

I worked with her (on the production side) very briefly - maybe a day or two - on a tv special in the late '80's. She could not have been nicer, more genuine and professional.

R13, she was in the right on that. We discussed the clip at length on another thread.

Sometimes she forgot her pants.

Burt Bacharach reminds me of those other cute prematurely grey Jewish guys like Jeffrey Epstein and Les Moonves.

Not as bad, but.....

R6: No, you are not. And you aren't Blanche, either, because it's spelled Devereaux .

Yup, I imagine Miss Dickinson got plenty of dick back in the day.

A lovely lady and a sexy broad: an unbeatable combination when the gods bestow beauty, intellect and humanity as well.

Happy Birthday, Miss Brown.
