Biography
Dixon was born on July 20, 1957, in Alexandria, Virginia to Earl Dixon. Her father owned a nightclub on U.S. 1 called, "Hillbilly Heaven". In 1975, she graduated from Groveton High School and attended the George Washington University. She dropped out soon after enrolling and never received a degree. Dixon began her career as a model and was named Miss Virginia USA, in 1976, and Miss Washington D.C. World, in 1977. Dixon co-starred with Tom Hanks in the early 1980s situation comedy Bosom Buddies; she played the role of Sonny Lumet.
Months after they worked together in the film Doctor Detroit (1983), Dixon and actor Dan Aykroyd married. They later starred together in the films Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) (though they did not share any scenes), Spies Like Us (1985) and The Couch Trip (1988). Dixon and Aykroyd have three daughters: Danielle Alexandra, Belle Kingston and Stella Irene. She retired from acting in 1997.
