For her performance, Dickinson won the 1959 Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer – Female.
During an interview with Entertainment weekly Last year, Angie reflected on some of her projects, such as Rio Bravo.
Regarding working with Wayne, she recalled, “It was heaven. He had so much respect for my freshness.”
“He was a huge star and this was as big as it gets in production, and it was a great honor to be chosen. He helped me a lot by being patient with me. One time we sat and talked about a scene for about ten minutes.”
She explained at the time: ‘That’s unheard of. You don’t waste a second. But he tried to relax me.”
“I ran into a few problems because you can tell when a scene isn’t working. He leaned on his gun and waited, and then I finally had the right scene.”

Throughout the 1960s she appeared in a number of projects, including Ocean’s 11 (1960) – with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford.
She played Sinatra’s on-screen wife, Beatrice Ocean, in the film – and discussed her friendship with the Fly Me To The Moon singer with EW.
‘We just liked each other. I was crazy about him,” Angie told the outlet. ‘He was great. He was absolutely the love of my life. Although I wouldn’t want to be married to him. He went to bed at 6 o’clock
She recalled going to Las Vegas for a publicity shoot, but said it had been a bit difficult.
“They were always messing around,” Dickinson said, then added of Frank, “He was the boss, so he could get away with it. He loved to play tricks. They were children playing.”
Angie also starred in The Killers (1964), Point Blank (1967) and later Dressed To Kill (1980), which earned her a Saturn Award for Best Actress.
In 1966, she had a small role as Ruby in The Chase – which also cast Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Jocelyn Brando.
“I was in London when I got the part, and I asked my agent a question and whatever the question was, he says, ‘It’s Brando’s wife.’ I think I said, “Is this a good script?” And he said, ‘Shut up and come back.’

She added, “Then I went to the closet, and Jane Fonda was in the closet picking out things for her. And I said, “Well, it’s not a very good part.” And she said, “You know, Ruby is a great name.” And that took care of everything.”
Dickinson left the big screen to star in the NBC series Police Woman in the 1970s.
On becoming the first woman to play a police officer in an hour-long drama, she told EW, “It was part of the reason I took it.”
“But we can all look back on everything we’ve done and think, ‘I’m sorry I did that.’ Or, “I wish I had done that there.” I’m sorry I took the series, but I was proud of that.’
She explained, “It hurt my film career. You can be a star on TV and they don’t give a shit. It was the films that counted, at least back then.’
Later in her career, she appeared in Sabrina (1995), Pay It Forward (2000) and Big Bad Love (2001).
