Rhonda Fleming Montage
This montage is dedicated to one of my personal all time favorite actresses the lovely Miss Rhonda Fleming.
Bio:
A native-born Californian, Rhonda Fleming attended Beverly Hills public and private schools. Her mother, Effie Graham, was a famous model and actress in New York. She has a son, Kent Lane, and two granddaughters, Kimberly and Kelly.
She has appeared in over 40 motion pictures, starting with top featured roles in David O. Selznick's SPELLBOUND, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, RKO's OUT OF THE PAST and THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE and leading into starring roles in classics such as CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT, GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL, HOME BEFORE DARK, PONY EXPRESS, SLIGHTLY SCARLETT, WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS and THE BIG CIRCUS.
Among her co-stars ... Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, Glenn Ford, Burt Lancaster, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Rock Hudson and Ronald Reagan (with whom she made four films).
In addition to motion pictures, Miss Fleming starred in her Broadway debut in Clare Booth Luce's THE WOMEN, and in the role of LALUME in KISMET at the Los Angeles Music Center, and toured as MADAME DUBONNET with THE BOYFRIEND. She made her stage musical debut in Las Vegas at the opening of the new Tropicana Hotel's showroom. Later, she appeared at the Hollywood Bowl in a one-woman concert of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin compositions. She also starred in a national ten-week concert tour with Skitch Henderson featuring the music of George Gershwin. She has guest-starred on numerous major television shows including WAGON TRAIN, POLICE WOMAN, LOVE BOAT, a two-hour production, THE LAST HOURS BEFORE MORNING, and a two-hour special of McMILLAN AND WIFE. The 1990 television production, WAITING FOR THE WIND, reunited her with her former co-star, Robert Mitchum.
In private life, Miss Fleming resides in Century City with her new husband, Darol W. Carlson. Rhonda was married for 23 years to Ted Mann, producer and chairman of MANN THEATRES, until his death in January 2001.

Rhonda Fleming with-out a doubt the most beautiful Red-Head Ever, it's a shame this Montage was not in color so as to see that awesome red hair, but it was a wonderful post Ty. May i add Rhonda only had 3 rivals as far as Red-heads Jeanne Crain, Hedy Lamarr and Susan Hayward but i think Rhonda tops the list she had the body as well as the hair lol.

The stunning and charismatic Rhonda Fleming would have been great as the the 'femme-fatale' in OUT OF THE PAST (in stead of the rather dull Jane Greer/Kathie Moffat).
Rhona Feming & Robert Mitchum...wow!
Rhona got the role of Meta Carson, but still an impressive performance!

She was always one of my favorite 'girls' at the cinema back in the 1950's.
Great singer too!

Rhonda Fleming was the most beautiful redhead ever to grace the silver screen, in my opinion. She was so beautiful, in fact, that it was impossible to take a bad photo of her.

I never met Miss Fleming, although my parents visited her mother, Effie, at the nursing home in Northern California until her death and spoke at her funeral. Nice to find out more about her and see just how beautiful she is/was.
