Page 38-T- HK HERALD. Prove I tah. Sunday. November 18. 1979 Lively Arts and leisure fun By ROD COLLETT Rhonda Fleming, Ted Mann Herald Staff Writer It's almost as though time has stood still in the life of actress Rhonda Fleming. She still remains the beautiful and vivacious professional of stage, screen and television. The Herald talked to the star and her husband Ted Mann, who were both in town Thursday for the grand openat ing of the new Mann theatre four-ple- x well-know- n Provo's Central Square. She said the first love of her life has been her singing career, while Mann, who came out of retirement to take over operation and ownership of the giant theatre firm, indicated that is life has been dico tated by challenges and a of achievement through quality work and effort. The best word to describe the life of one Visit Provo self-mott- ff x of Hollywood's leading ladies is "versatile." She has made over 50 motion pic- tures, including Alfred Hitchcock's "SDeelbound" which was her first motion picure. She received an Academy nomination for "Best Supporting Actress" in the role. It would be too typical and ordinary to describe Fleming in the usual language and verbosity which PR men are known for in building up the talents and exploits of the Hollywood set, but she went contrary to that Thursday by being a genuine person of grace, charm and concern. More important, she has beauty and a spark in her eye, some of which could be attributed to her roots which can be traced back to Utah, Her progenitors crossed the plains as pioneers, including her hfh great-grandmothe- r. She said she "looks forward to trips to JWmed 7 1 The newest trends in music, drama, films the Beehive State. "I look upon Utah as a second home because of the many summers I spent here as a child." she said. She says her career as a singer as given her more direct enjoyment instead of "performing in front of a cold camera." "You get a more immediate response from the audience, on stage while in films its a delayed reaction you never really feel." she added. Mann's interest in his Utah visit stems from his ownership of 20 theatres in Utah. He maintains a production company from which three films have been released in three years. He states that his life has been guided by a desire to "overcome challenges and to be a contributor to life." "I find many of the qualities in which I believe are contained in the way of life of the Utah people," he said TED MANN and wife Rhonda Fleming were in Provo Thursday to be at opening ceremonies of four new Mann Theatres. mom, wtxAfilto&e ': JOAN LINDSAY , Joan Lindsay Directs Concert Joan Lindsay is the force behind the 150 voice chorus and 30 piece orchestra that will present Joyful I Christmas Sounds in the American Fork Tabernacle ; on Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. - She has lived in Alpine for a year, and though a ; newcomer to Utah Valley, she is not a newcomer in musical productions.
