Ruth Roman
Ruth Roman, a screen actress who parlayed her electrically stimulating combination of sexuality and wholesomeness into Hollywood stardom in the late 40s and 50s, passed away in her home on Thursday in Laguna Beach, Calif. She was 75 years old. She died in her sleep, according to her son Richard Hall. Warner Brothers offered her nine starring roles within two years after her first role in Stanley Kramer's 'Champion the Champion', a adaptation written by Ring Lardner of an maniacal prizefighter short story. It was her turn to work alongside Bette Davis on 'Beyond Forest'' and being a part of Milton Berle's "Always leave them laughing' in only one day. A week after the completion of the film ''Strangers on a train", starring Robert Walker, she was invited to appear in ''Tomorrow's Another Day'' alongside Steve Cochran.
