May 15th, 1965

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

5/15/65 - Burt Bacharach and Angie Dickinson get married in Las Vegas.  The marriage will last fifteen years.

My favorite Burt and Angie story comes from Paul Anka who says:

“One of the stories going around about Angie Dickinson was that she’d given someone a blow job while driving along Mulholland Drive.  And somehow, that came up once … and somebody asked her about it.

“Angie didn’t even blink …

“’Yes,’ she said, ‘that was me.  I was in the car with my husband Burt Bacharach; we were married at the time, we were drivig home in the car, and I gave him oral sex.’

“Angie was so cool, she didn’t skip a beat.  She let the guy think about it a minute, and then she said, ‘And I, by the way, was driving.’”
