An iconic actress who has worked with big Hollywood names in the past, including John Wayne, was spotted on a rare outing in Los Angeles this week.

She starred in a hit NBC crime series in the 70s which lasted for a total of four seasons – and earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress.

The star has starred alongside other actors throughout the course of her long-lasting career in the entertainment industry, such as Frank Sinatra, Ronald Reagan, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Michael Caine and Lee Marvin.

The actress has a whopping 151 acting credits to her name, with her breakthrough role taking place in a Western film in the mid-50s.

She last appeared on the screen for a Hallmark movie that aired 15 years earlier.

But can you guess who it is?

It is Angie Dickinson, 93 – who notably starred as Sgt. Suzanne ‘Pepper’ Anderson in the NBC crime series titled, Police Woman.

The show aired from 1974 through 1978, and additionally starred Ed Bernard, Earl Holliman, Charles Dierkop and William Shatner.

By taking on the role, the actress also became the first woman to star in an hour-long episodic drama as a police officer.

She was nominated for three Emmys for her portrayal of Anderson in the series, and also garnered four Golden Globe nominations – winning one for Best Actress in 1974.

During Angie’s most recent excursion in L.A., she dressed down wearing a long-sleeved, black shirt as well as a pair of black, denim pants.

The star’s hair was parted to the side, and fell down naturally past her shoulders while she also sported a long, blue-beaded necklace.

Dickinson – who was previously seen during an outing in 2021 – enjoyed a relaxing stroll in a quiet neighborhood.

Although she officially retired from acting in 2009, Angie had a successful career that spanned for around six decades.

Her breakthrough role took place in the Western film, Gun The Man Down (1956), where she co-starred with James Arness.

Three years later, she was cast as Feathers in another Western called, Rio Bravo, which notably starred John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan.

For her performance, Dickinson won the Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer – Female in 1959.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly last year, Angie reflected on a number of her projects, such as Rio Bravo.

In regards to working alongside Wayne, she recalled, ‘It was heaven. He was so respectful of my freshness.’

‘He was an enormous star and this was as big as it gets in production, and it was a great honor to have been chosen. He was very helpful by being patient with me.  Once, we sat and talked for about 10 minutes about a scene.’

She explained that at the time, ‘That’s unheard of. You don’t waste a second. But he was trying to relax me.’

‘I got in a few binds because you can tell when a scene’s not working. He leaned on his rifle and waited, and then, I finally got the scene right.’

Throughout the 60s, she starred in a number of projects, including Ocean’s 11 (1960) – with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford.

She played Sinatra’s on-screen wife, Beatrice Ocean, in the movie – and discussed her friendship with the Fly Me To The Moon singer with EW.

‘We just liked each other. I was crazy about him,’ Angie told the outlet. ‘He was fabulous. He was absolutely the love of my life. Though I would not have wanted to be married to him. He went to bed at 6 a.m.’

She recalled going to Las Vegas for a publicity shoot, but said that it had been a bit difficult.

‘They were always monkeying around,’ Dickinson said, and then added of Frank: ‘He was the boss, so he could get away with it. He loved to pull tricks. They were kids at play.’

Angie also starred in The Killers (1964), Point Blank (1967) and later Dressed To Kill (1980) – which earned her a Saturn Award for Best Actress.

In 1966, she took on a small role as the character of Ruby in The Chase – which also cast Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Jocelyn Brando.

‘I was in London when I got the part, and I asked a question of my agent and whatever the question was, he says, “It’s Brando’s wife.” I think I said, “Is this a good script?” And he said, “Shut up and get back here.”‘

She added, ‘Then I went to wardrobe, and Jane Fonda was in wardrobe picking out stuff for her part. And I said, “Well, it’s not a very good part.” And she said, “You know, Ruby’s a hell of a name.” And that took care of it all.’

Dickinson stepped away from the big screen to star in the NBC series, Police Woman, in the 70s.

On becoming the first woman to play a police officer in an hour-long drama, she told EW, ‘It was part of the reason I took it.’

‘But we can all look back on everything we did and think, “I’m sorry I did that.” Or “I wish I had done that over there.” I am sorry I took the series, but I was proud of that.’

She explained, ‘It hurt my movie career. You can be a star on TV and they don’t give a s***. It’s the movies that counted, at least then.’

Later in her career, she appeared in Sabrina (1995), Pay It Forward (2000) and Big Bad Love (2001).

Her last credited role was the television movie, Mending Fences, which aired on the Hallmark channel in 2009.

Dickinson was previously married to Gene Dickinson from 1952 until their divorce in 1960.

The actress later married composer and record producer, Burt Bacharach, in 1965 until their divorce in 1981.

They welcomed a daughter named, Nikki, who was autistic. She died by suicide at the age of 40 in 2007.
