WOmWAm FEMMEtasm

Rhonda Fleming

WOmWAm Career Perspective

As beautiful as any actress in the survey, most of her roles lacked threat and intimidation, more often falling on the side of sweet and lovely... Her physique packed into fetishistic costuming is what demands she be considered... As she matured through the 1950s she was one of the more physically imposing Femmetasms of the big screen...

*Roles of Interest*
Little Egypt Golden Hawk 1952 featured 2 red-headed lady pirates with thigh-high leather boots (Maureen O'Hara in Against All Flags being the other) Serpent of the Nile A bit of a hard-sell as Cleo, but can't complain about the costuming... Yankee Pasha Queen of Babylon Guess being the Queen of Egypt qualified her for being the Queen of Babylon... What she's really the Queen of is Being Beautiful and movie producers struggled coming up with vehicles to showcase her... Slightly Scarlet This is about as close as you can come to a camp classic without getting there... In both instances the leads (Fleming and Arlene Dahl) just don't play cheap and tawdry enough... They sure look like they're trying, though... The Buster Keaton Story The promos for this are fabulous -- her actual part is under-whelming... Besides, you have to suffer Donald O'Connor making believe he's as funny as Buster Keaton.... Alias Jesse James Burke's Law (Who Killed Wade Walker?") A surprising gun-toting Tough Gal role...
