Turned down the role of Krystle Carrington on "Dynasty" (1981).

Had a ten-year, on-again/off-again relationship with Frank Sinatra.
Ranked #42 on "Playboy" Magazines "100 Sexiest Stars of the Century," January 1999.
Said she initially declined to play the ill-fated, sexually frustrated "Kate Miller" in Dressed to Kill (1980) because she felt her role on the "Police Woman" (1974) TV series had made her into something of a role model, but director Brian De Palma eventually persuaded her to accept the role.
When asked to choose a new actress name, first suggested "Angie Rome" which was eventually changed into "Dickinson".
Older sister, Mary Lou Belmont, who has Altheizmer, and younger sister, Janet Lee.
Originally had a major role as the main villain in Mel Gibsons Payback (1999/I) as Mrs. Bronson (there originally was no Kris Kristofferson role). When Mel Gibson took over, the role was deleted. It will be restored on "Payback - Straight Up" in 2007.
Her daughter (with Burt Bacharach), Nikki Bacharach, died at age 40 on January 4, 2007, of suicide in Ventura County, California. She was born prematurely in 1966 and battled Asperger's disorder, a form of autism.
