Rhonda Fleming, Hollywood’s ‘Queen of Technicolor,’ Dies at 97

Rhonda Fleming was an American actress with a net worth of $10 million. Born in Hollywood, California, in August 1923, she rose to fame in the 1940s and 1950s, earning over 60 acting credits throughout her career. Renowned for her striking red hair and fair complexion, she was affectionately dubbed the “Queen of Technicolor.”

Personal life

The actress married six times!

Her first marriage, to interior decorator Thomas Wade Lane, produced her only child—a son who would eventually make her a grandmother, great-grandmother, and even great-great-grandmother.

Over the decades, she married a Hollywood physician, an actor, a film producer, a theater mogul, and finally a businessman, with her last two husbands passing away during their marriages.

How did Rhonda Fleming die?

Fleming passed away on October 14, 2020 at Saint John’s Health Center, Santa Monica. The cause was complications from aspiration pneumonia, said her secretary, Carla Sapon. She was 97.

Fleming was a Presbyterian and was remembered in her obituary as a “faithful and devoted Christian.” Upon her passing, she was laid to rest alongside her fifth husband, Ted Mann, in the Jewish Hillside Memorial Park in Culver City, California
