Charming original  10x8-inch black and white publicity still for A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949) signed with her name alone in blue felt-tip marker in the 1980s. In good condition. Famed for her flaming red hair, gorgeous Rhonda Fleming began her film career under contract to David O. Selznick, who so memorably cast her as the nymphomaniac mental patient in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) and Blanche in The Spiral Staircase (1945).  While later working at RKO and Paramount , Fleming vacillated between good and bad girl roles, most memorably in Out of the Past (1947), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949), The Great Lover (1949), Hong Kong (1952), Serpent of the Nile (1953), The Buster Keaton Story (1957), and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957).
