A prominent Actress from Hollywood’s Golden Age Passes Away

The entertainment industry is mourning the loss of Rhonda Fleming, an iconic actress from Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Rhonda Fleming, known for her fiery red hair, has died aged 97.

She was most recognized for her work with actors from the 1940s and 1950s, including Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, Ronald Reagan and others. The New York Times was told by Rhonda’s assistant that she died in Santa Monica, California.

The release of Fleming’s first color film in 1949, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, attracted the most attention. Her fiery red hair wowed the crowd and other film producers clamored to hire her for a growing number of projects.

Rhonda, on the other hand, resented all the attention her appearance attracted. She wants people to focus on her acting skills and the roles she has portrayed.

My emerald eyes suddenly turned green. My hair was fiery red. My skin was as white as porcelain. Suddenly, people were more interested in how I performed than in the characters I played.

The studios backed me into a corner and never asked me for anything more than to look pretty and go through a series of pictures like ‘Redhead and the Cowboy’.

Before entering politics, Fleming starred with Reagan in Hong Kong, Tropic Zone, The Last Outpost, and Tennessee’s Partner.

He scared everyone because he never looked in the mirror, she famously declared of the incoming president. Can that be said of many actors?

Rhonda Fleming was an immensely talented individual who was admired by both her fans and her peers. We will miss him.
