Ruth Roman
Ruth Roman, a screen actress who turned her electro charged combination of sexiness and healthyness to Hollywood celebrity in the 1940's and 50's, died this week at her residence located in Laguna Beach, Calif. She was 75. Richard Hall, her son confirmed the fact that she passed away while sleeping. In the wake of her first big role, opposite Kirk Douglas in Stanley Kramer's "Champion," which was a 1949 re-telling of the Ring Lardner short story of a maniacal prize fighter, Warner Brothers gave her leading roles in nine films in under two years. One day, she jumped from working with Bette Davis in "Beyond Forest'', to appearing alongside Milton Berle in ''Always Leave Them Laughing.'' She was taken to 'Tomorrow Is Another Day with Steve Cochran as the lead, a week after completing "Strangers on the Train."
