Bacharach composed the music of the song “Nikki” for their fragile young daughter, and Dickinson rejected many roles to focus on caring for her. She and Bacharach eventually placed her at the Wilson Center, a psychiatric residential treatment facility for adolescents in Faribault, Minnesota, where she remained for nine years.

Later, Nikki studied geology at California Lutheran University, but her poor eyesight prevented her from pursuing it as a career. On January 4, 2007, Nikki took her own life by suffocation in her apartment in the Ventura County suburb of Thousand Oaks. She was 40.
