WITH all the roles she's played, Ruth Roman has seldom fallen victim to type casting. Actually, she is and looks like quite a fiery, dynamic lass, yet Ruth has such a convincing way with such parts as the serene and sweet heroine, the wronged woman or, occasionally, as the "straight" gal for a comedian that we usually see her as such. Certainly a tribute from her studio, Warner Brothers, which considers Ruth that talented an actress to portray parts quite dissimilar from her own personality. Her best-so-far assignment is opposite Gary Cooper in "Dallas." Ruth doesn't have to do "cheesecake" any more, but is aware of its value. Above: A daughter of a rancher in Warners' "Dallas," Ruth loves a Confederate colonel with a price on his head, Gary Cooper. Right: The real Roman is best expressed in "Three Secrets." She's caused a sensation among Hollywood's most eligible men. In a scene from the Technicolor "Dallas," Ruth and her weakling brother, Gil Donaldson, are threatened by invader of their ranch, Peter Ortez.
