Mini biography
Angie Dickinson was born in Kulm, North Dakota, in 1931, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Brown. Mr. Brown was the publisher of The Kulm Messenger. The family left North Dakota in 1942 when Angie was 11 years old, moving to Burbank, California. In December of 1946, when she was a senior at Bellamarine Jefferson High School in Burbank, she won the Sixth Annual Bill of Rights Contest. Two years later her sister Janet, did likewise. Being the daughter of a printer, Angie at first had visions of becoming a writer, but gave this up after winning her first beauty contest. After finishing college she worked as a secretary in a Burbank airplane parts factory for 3-1/2 years
In 1953 she entered the local Miss America contest one day before the deadline and took second place. In August of the same year she was one of five winners in a beauty contest sponsored by NBC and appeared in several TV variety shows. She got her first bit part in a Warner Brothers movie in 1954 and gained television fame in the TV series "The Millionaire" (1955) and got her first good film role opposite John Wayne and Dean Martin in Rio Bravo (1959).
Her success then spiraled until she became one of the nation's top movie stars.

Mini Biography-2
from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
This ex-beauty queen was already a well-known (and middle-aged albeit glamorous) movie actress when she gained notoriety in 1974
for appearing nude in producer Roger Corman's exploitative Big Bad Mama
She also stirred up controversy six years later for her sexy scenes in Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill which were skillfully augmented with help from an obvious body double. This pretty, sharp-faced performer made her tyro screen appearance in a bit part in the musical Lucky Me (1954), and toiled in numerous low-budget genre films (including Sam Fuller's 1957 China Gate before snagging the femme lead in Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo (1959), her first major movie. Plum roles in Ocean's Eleven (1960), The Sins of Rachel Cade (1961), and Point Blank (1967), among others, failed to secure stardom for Dickinson. She did, however, enjoy a long run on TV as an undercover cop in the series "Police Woman" (1974-78), and has maintained a high profile as star of numerous made-for-TV movies and miniseries, including 1993's notorious "Wild Palms." She is divorced from composer Burt Bacharach.

Had a ten-year, on-again/off-again relationship with Frank Sinatra.
Ranked #42 on "Playboy" Magazines "100 Sexiest Stars of the Century," January 1999.
Said she initially declined to play the ill-fated, sexually frustrated Kate Miller in "Dressed To Kill"

but director Brian De Palma eventually persuaded her to accept the role.
Personal Quotes
"My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra."
"No question - the more powerful men are, the more sexy they are."
"When I started shooting 'Police Woman', someone asked me if I had ever played a sleuth before. I said, 'Yes, many times.' I thought they were asking me if I had ever played a slut. I didn't know what a sleuth was."
"I dress for women, and undress for men."
[On her initial reaction to the screenplay for 'Dressed to Kill]: "I was like 'I can't do this, I'm Police Woman!'"
(When asked on Celebrity Poker Showdown what making "Ocean's Eleven" was like) "Oh, it was wonderful. And I remember most of it."
