One of Hollywood’s busiest and most popular actresses from the 1940s to the ‘70s, Rhonda Fleming was a fiery redhead with fair skin and green eyes. She was the perfect actress for the mid-20th-century advances in film colorization, so much in demand for the new technology that she earned the nickname Queen of Technicolor.
Rhonda starred in classic films such as Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Spellbound, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and The Buster Keaton Story, a co-star with Hollywood’s most popular men, including Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Bob Hope, Charlton Heston, and four movies with Ronald Reagan.
In the 1960s and ‘70s, Rhonda made the transition to television in hit shows such as Wagon Train, The Virginian and The Love Boat. Altogether, Rhonda performed in over 100 movie and television productions and even had a frequent stint as a Las Vegas nightclub act.
Married six times, Rhonda and her fifth husband, Ted Mann, were among Hollywood’s most generous philanthropists. According to toptenrealestatedeals.com,their sunny villa, one of L.A.’s prettiest homes, is for sale priced at $11.995 million.
