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.

-
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.

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).
