Rhonda Fleming was a big girl

I'm talking about the scene where she's exercising behind the sheet and you could see her shadow. Now, when I saw the size of that shadow, I started to laugh because I was thinking they put the light too far back or something which made her appear pretty damn big. Then they actually showed her in her bathing suit and you could see she was a fairly robust woman.

So, to sum it up in legal terminology: Get lost, you bum.

Good body, but looked older than her years in the face.

For many years Robert Fuller told a story about how he was called back to reshoot a scene with Rhonda Fleming on Wagon Train because "not once had I looked at her face." The powers that be said, "We are going to call her to reshoot, and we are going to tell her why." He finally "retired" the story after presumably enough people had heard it.
