MINI BIO:

Long-legged, blonde American actress who entered films via beauty contests. Most film writers patently think Miss Dickinson hard done-by in the cinema but to me she has always been rather plastic, a mold that clearly hardened to polystyrene in her TV series Policewoman. It took French director Roger Vadim (in Pretty Maids All in a Row) to make her seem really sexy, and she worked regularly in France for a while in the seventies. Married to composer Burt Bacharach 1965-1980. Has lived with singer John Barrowman since 1992.
