Angie Dickinson Facts
1. She Came From Humble Beginnings
Believe it or not, Angie Dickinson was a country girl before she ever knew anything about a glamorous life on the big screen. Far from the city lights of LA, where she would later live, she grew up in bleak little prairie towns in North Dakota that resembled the edge of the world. But there’s more to the story of Angie’s modest origins.
2. She Lived Through A Dark Time
Born in 1931, young Angie grew up in the hectic hubbub of the Great Depression. The political and economic tumult of the time (alongside living in the middle of nowhere) meant Angie had little to do besides twiddle her thumbs.
But it didn’t cost a dime to watch a movie at the theatre where her father worked! This was only the beginning of her love for the big screen.
However, hanging with her father wasn’t all hunky-dory.
3. Her Father Had Heartbreaking Vices
With the turmoil of the time, coupled with his own crushed dreams, Angie's father lost himself in the bottom of many bottles. Angie loved her father, but his turn to drink showed her an encumbered life she never wanted.
Living with an alcoholic was no picnic, but she used her father’s mistakes to turn her life around in a startling way.
