Yes. She would also make a point of how much she loved men in general. At a time when feminism was taking off, she let everyone know that she wasn’t one of those women. Angie Dickinson was both beautiful and unchallenging, which made her the perfect fantasy for men who were uncomfortable with the women’s movement.
Ann-Margret? :dubious:
All I know is I like AD in Ringo Starr’s “With a Little Help From My Friends” 1978 TV special.
(featuring, of course - dastardly, tormenting surf bums with really obvious toupees.)
Ha!
When I read the thread title and saw the OP’s name, my first thought was “Of course a gay guy would be the one who had to ask this question.” My immediate next thought was “How fucking old is this thread? Wasn’t Otto banned like a decade ago?”
Her continued use of white lipstick after 1964 kinda killed it for me.
(bold mine) THIS is what I came in to say. Ellen Barkin is hot and evil and don’t take any crap. Angie Dickinson (from what I’ve seen) did the same thing years earlier.
She even had a full frontal nude scene in that one movie Big Bad Mama. She’s not a true blonde, but I don’t care about that. Unless they made that for the movie.
Oops. Just read the whole thread. No pertinent info provided. My bad.

Ann-Margret? :dubious:
[/QUOTE]I’ve seen some good pictures of Ann Margret. She’ll work. As for that singing video, that’s nothing that a little duct tape couldn’t fix. And then she’d be back to the hot Swede that she is.
She did a great episode of The Larry Sanders Show playing herself. She still looked pretty good then. In the episode Larry’s producer Artie (Rip Torn) tells Larry matter-of-factly that since Dickinson is appearing he has to avoid seeing her at all costs. Not because of any bad blood, but just the opposite. He says that whenever they get together they always go off and have a torrid affair for a week or so and that he’s powerless to resist her.
Of course that’s exactly what happens. It was so well done it made me think it might have been partially based on fact, Dickinson and Torn being of the same acting generation more or less…
I have never understood this and I am of that generation. Well, maybe not quite, but I remember seeing Police Woman in first run.
She always seemed to me like the kind of woman who you’d see at the end of the bar in a cheap dive. Maybe that’s it and I just don’t go for that type. She never did anything for me though.
But she sure hit it off with a lot of powerful men. She was know to step out with Eddie Fisher, Burt Bacharach, David Janssen, William Shatner and Johnny Carson at various points in her life.
It’s funny how, if you watch old Police Woman episodes, whenever the scene has Angie in a cocktail bar the ambient music being played in the bar will be a Burt Bacharach tune (they were married at the time)
Mmm…Suzanne Pleshette!
Here is your chance to meet her tomorrow… http://www.hollywoodshow.com/starList.php
Read Sinatra’s ex-valet’s book “Mr. S” for more JFK scoop. One of the best reads ever.
I remember in ‘Police Woman’ they were constantly playing up her sexiness. Like Charlie’s Angels, it seemed like there was always a crime that required her to go undercover as a model, or a dancer, or a stripper or something that required her to be dressed in as little as possible.
Also, she was known for her legs, and legs were a much bigger deal back in the day.
And she was smokin’ hot in Rio Bravo. But by the time she was on Police Woman she didn’t do anything for me. Too ‘tough’ and her hairstyle was all the rage among middle aged moms. No teenager wants to see that.
Exactly.
