Angie Dickinson – 89

In the enclave of swinging, sleek showbiz aristocracy, Angie Dickinson achieved a kind of hipster-chick dominance. Dickinson began her acting career as an aggressive gambler in Rio Bravo. She was a former beauty queen who began with early forays on television before her breakout performance. She then played Frank Sinatra’s wife in the criminal comedy Ocean’s 11.

More strong yet beautiful female parts followed in films like Point Blank. Next, she rose to prominence in her forties as the first female lead in the television drama series Police Woman. Its success followed by parts in Big Bad Mama and Dressed to Kill. Although her professional productivity dwindled at the end of the decade, the actress emerged with powerful performances in films such as the sociological drama Pay it Forward. Rather than attempting to lose her iconic image, Dickinson capitalized on it, repeatedly defying degrees and exceeding expectations.
