In 1953, a sexy young bombshell named Angie Dickinson snuck out of her secretarial job to enter a beauty contest.
Showbiz folks were awestruck — that crooked smile and those endless legs — she came in second, but ended up on television, divorced and canoodling with Frank Sinatra.
Hollywood adored Angie, who would one day make Playboy’s list of the “100 Sexiest Stars of the Century”. Her first big film break was in Rio Bravo, but her star shined brightest in the television hit, Police Woman.
