Angie was married to Gene Dickinson, a former football player, from 1952 to 1960. She was married to musician/composer Burt Bacharach between 1965 and 1981. After marrying Burt Bacharach, Dickinson put her career on hold, although she still appeared in the occasional picture, such as the western The Last Challenge (1967) with Glenn Ford, and the dreary comedy Some Kind of Nut (1969).

In 1993, Dickinson appeared in the futuristic shocker TV-miniseries Wild Palms, produced by Oliver Stone, in which she played the sadistic, militant sister of a Political Figure Tony Kruetzer. The same year, she starred as a ruthless Montana spa owner in Gus Van Sant's bizarre Even Cowgirls Get the Blues; Uma Thurman and a cast of stellar cameos could not save the picture, which has been called the Single Worst Movie of the 1990s. In 1995, she played Burt Reynolds's wife in the thriller The Maddening, appeared in the remake of Sabrina with Harrison Ford, and played the mother of Rick Aiello and Robert Cicchini in the comedy National Lampoon's The Don's Analyst. In 1997, she seduced old flame Artie (Rip Torn) in an episode of HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show" called "Artie and Angie and Hank and Hercules."
