Nikki Bacharach, the only child of actress Angie Dickinson and songwriter Burt Bacharich, committed suicide by suffocating herself Thursday night in her Beverly Hills condo. She was 40. Bacharach suffered from Asperger’s Disorder, a form of autism. She died “quietly and peacefully,” according to a statement from a family spokeswoman. “She loved kitties, and earthquakes, glacial calving, meteor showers, science, blue skies and sunsets, and Tahiti.” Her interest in earthquakes and glacial calving was a result of her studying geology at Cal Lutheran University.
