"When I started shooting Police Woman, someone asked me if I had ever  played a sleuth before. I said 'Yes, many times.' I thought they were asking me if I ever played a slut. I didn't know what a sleuth was."

Check out that body! A lot of people say our standard of what is "sexy" has changed over the years from curvaceous to toned. But it's hard argument to make that Angie Dickinson wasn't ahead of her time.

Dickinson has appeared in over 50 movie rolls and numerous TV shows. Although she started her acting career in the late 50's she really wasn't  looked at as a sex symbol until the early 70's. Dickinson aged well and by that time still looked like a knock out.

Her best move has to the Roger Corman directed "Big Bad Mama" (1974). She has three separate nude scenes, one full frontal [!] with Star Trek's William Shatner!

Angie Dickinson appeared on the March 1979 cover of the adult magazine High Society, with the promise of "nude photos inside." There were nude photos but they were just stills from the nudey shots she did for Big Bad Mama.

They don't even have a proper interview, it's just selected quotes from other interviews she has done. Not really worth tracking down unless your a completest.

There is an interesting black and white photo floating around which appears to be a very young Dickinson posing totally nude for a frontal shot. This still photograph can be had on ebay for about $10. It really does look like Angie circa late 50's when she was doing beauty pageants. It could be her or some nameless model of  the same period who looked a lot like her.

80 years old now and still not a bad looking great grandma! I would just dust the cobwebs out of the way and dig in!
