Angie Dickinson: Frank Sinatra
built 607 days ago
Angie was married to Gene Dickinson, a former football player, from 1952 to 1960. She was romantically linked to Frank Sinatra, whom Dickinson called "the most important man in my life" (because of the power he held when they first met in the mid-1950s) and with whom she shared "a very comfortable relationship" on and off for ten years. They remained friends until his death in 1998. She was ... linked to actor David Janssen, and allegedly to President John F. Kennedy, although she has chosen not to address those rumors.

Angie has had a long film career, primarily in the 50’s and 60’s. She’s worked with every major star in Hollywood including Marlon Brando, James Garner, Frank Sinatra, Robert Redford, and Burt Reynolds to name a few. During the late 50’s, Angie refused to allow filmmakers to place her in the bombshell roles, which at the time Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield were popularizing. She felt those characters weren’t strong representations of women, and she held out for beefier roles.

In the early 1960s, Dickinson starred in numerous movies, making her one of the more prominent leading ladies of the decade, co-starring in The Bramble Bush with Richard Burton and Ocean's Eleven, (both released in 1960) with Frank Sinatra. These were followed by the political potboiler A Fever in the Blood (1961); a Belgian Congo-based melodrama The Sins of Rachel Cade (1962) in which she played a missionary nurse tempted by earthly lust; and the European travelogue Rome Adventure (... known as "Lovers Must Learn") in 1962, where Dickinson gets to dish comparatively wicked seductress dialogue; and Jean Negulesco's Jessica (1962) with Maurice Chevalier, in which she plays the straightlaced-but-carnal young woman of Italian heritage working as a midwife but resented by the wives of the town's lusting men. Angie would also share the screen with friend Gregory Peck in the comedy-drama Captain Newman, M.D.
