MINI BIO:
So what was wrong with Marilyn Louis? At any rate, the change of name did this stunning, green-eyed American redhead little good until she was selected as Bing Crosby's leading lady in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Then she rapidly became known as Queen of Technicolor in a series of self-reliant, but slightly too self-aware performances in which she never quite seemed to let herself go. Married (fourth of five) to producer-director Hall Bartlett from 1966 to 1971. Joint founder of the Rhonda Fleming Mann Resource Center for Women with Cancer.
