BY TOM CARLSON REPORT Rhonda owns five times as many work clothes as dress clothes. She loves to putter around in blue jeans and gingham shirts. Luscious Rhonda Fleming's career zoomed when she blended acting with her allure When Rhonda was attending Beverly Hills High School she was chosen, at the age of fifteen, as Beverly High's Fairest and had her picture printed on the cover of the school magazines. A great honor, in one way, a near misfortune in another. Her friends and admirers misled career-minded Ronnie into believing that a girl as beautiful as she had nothing to worry about — all she had to do was look beautiful and audiences would be happy. It was here, luckily, that Agent Henry Willson came into Ronnie's life. Yes, he agreed, she was beautiful enough to make any audience happy, but, he added, she'd make them deliriously happy if she'd concentrate on acting and let her beauty take care of itself. That meant hard work, endless hours of study and rehearsing. Willson insisted on vocal and dancing lessons, too, declaring Hollywood was overloaded with untalented beauties, all of whom faded fast. Rhonda did as advised. Today, she's a star. Now Rhonda is studying more intensely than ever, doing all she possibly can to help her win fame as an actress, rather than as a ravishing beauty. Agent Henry Willson, who guided her career so wisely, with Rhonda at dinner party. She's currently in "Tropic Zone." Rhonda and new husband, Dr. Lewis Morrill, sign the guest book for King Kennedy at Seafare Lodge in Laguna Beach.
