Angie Dickinson - Dickinson 'Brutally Busted' Over Hot Pants Mistake

The 79 year old was already a movie pin-up when she went on to became a household name after playing a sexy detective in 1970s hit show Police Woman.

But DICkinson realised her time as a sex symbol was coming to an end when agent Lazar laughed at her for wearing sexy shorts.

She reveals on Piers Morgan Tonight, "I got brutally busted and I was about 40 and hot pants came out and I wore them to a nice affair and Irving Lazar said, 'You're too old to wear those'.

"And he was right, by the way. You know it fits you only until a certain time. Then it looks ludicrous... it was the truth. But I adjusted and left my pants on and did just fine. But it just made me aware that the hot part doesn't last that long."
