Angie Dickinson (born September 30, 1931) is an American actress. She has appeared in more than fifty films, including Rio Bravo, Ocean's 11, Dressed to Kill and Pay It Forward, and starred on television as Sergeant Suzanne "Pepper" Anderson on the 1970s crime series Police Woman.
Dickinson, the second of four daughters, was born Angeline Brown (but called "Angie" by family and friends) in Kulm, North Dakota, the daughter of Frederica and Leo H. Brown. Her family is of German descent and she was raised Roman Catholic. Dickinson's father was a small-town newspaper publisher and editor. In 1942, her family moved to Burbank, California, where she attended Bellarmine-Jefferson High School, graduating in 1947 at just 15 years of age. The previous year, she had won the Sixth Annual Bill of Rights essay contest. She studied at Glendale Community College and in 1954 graduated from Immaculate Heart College with a degree in business. Taking a cue from her publisher father, she had intended to be a writer. While a student from 1950–52, she worked as a secretary at Lockheed Air Terminal in Burbank (now Bob Hope Airport) and in a parts factory.

Plot: Chicago's St.Vitus Improv Workshop has collected sketches created with the singular goal of taking ideas and filming them - in a single day, and on a zero-to-micro budget. Four stories have been worked from either a script idea, or an improvised scenario brought in by a writer or a member of the workshop, and riffed on/improvised in front of the camera on the day of the shoot. In common to all of the stories are a feel and affection for the city of Chicago, and carrying on a tradition of improvisational comedy that has its roots in the city, including its references to personal relationships, current social trends and pop-culture media tropes.
