Angie Dickinson at 93: Inside Her Quiet Life in Beverly Hills
At 93 years old, legendary actress Angie Dickinson—best known for her roles in Police Woman and classic films like Rio Bravo—lives a peaceful but solitary life in her Beverly Hills home, where she has resided for decades.
Her Life Today:
-
Living Alone: Since the passing of her ex-husband Burt Bacharach (in 2023) and her longtime partner Robert “Bob” Sherman (in 2018), Dickinson has adjusted to life by herself.
-
Health & Mobility: Though she has faced some age-related challenges, friends say she remains sharp and in good spirits. She occasionally uses a wheelchair but still enjoys short walks.
-
Few Public Appearances: She rarely attends Hollywood events but made an exception in 2022 for a TCM Classic Film Festival tribute.
A Look Back at Her Legacy:
-
Golden Age Star: Dickinson was one of the most glamorous actresses of the ’50s–’70s, working with icons like Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, and Dean Martin.
-
Trailblazer for Women: Her role as Police Woman’s Sgt. Pepper Anderson (1974–78) broke ground as one of TV’s first female-led crime dramas.
-
Romances & Marriages: She was briefly married to football legend Gene Dickinson and later to Burt Bacharach (1965–81), with whom she adopted her daughter, Nikki Bacharach (who tragically died by suicide in 2007).
How She Spends Her Days:
-
Reading & Classic Films: She reportedly loves revisiting old movies and books.
-
Close Friends & Family Visits: Though private, she stays in touch with a small circle, including her nephew, musician Randy Newman.
-
Her Home: The Beverly Hills house, purchased in the ‘60s, is filled with Hollywood memorabilia and cherished memories.
Why Fans Are Concerned:
-
Some worry about her isolation, but insiders say she prefers solitude and has caregivers check in regularly.
-
Unlike other stars her age (like Dick Van Dyke), she has no interest in a reality show or memoirs.
Final Thought: Angie Dickinson remains a Hollywood legend who chose grace over fame—content with her quiet life, far from the spotlight that once adored her.
