Dean Martin and
Angie Dickinson in 1958 at the set of
Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959). Caption: Dean Martin and his partner Angie Dickinson behind the camera for a break.
In 1946, American actor and singer
Dean Martin (1917-1995) got his first ticket to stardom, as he teamed up with another hard worker who was also trying to succeed in Hollywood: Jerry Lewis. Films such as
At War with the Army (1950) sent the team toward super-stardom. The duo was to become one of Hollywood's truly great teams. They lasted 11 years together and starred in 16 films. Solo, he won critical acclaim for his roles in
The Young Lions (1958) and
Some Came Running (1958). Box office hits such as
Rio Bravo (1959) and
Ocean's Eleven (1960) brought him international fame.
American actress
Angie Dickinson (1931) has appeared in more than 50 films and starred on television as Sergeant Leann 'Pepper' Anderson in the successful 1970s crime series
Police Woman. Her trademarks are her honey blonde hair (on the postcard she still has her original brunette hair colour), her large brown eyes, a voluptuous figure, and her deep sultry voice.
