Achieving Stardom on Television
With the 1970s TV series “Police Woman,” Dickinson had tremendous popularity. She became famous and won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Sergeant Suzanne “Pepper” Anderson. In a genre that has long been dominated by men, the show’s strong, autonomous female lead was a groundbreaking development.
