operations which kept him
from grotesque facial disfig
uration. And Hollywood'i acknowl
edgement of the surgeon's
skill came 15 years later when
Fleming was chosen to play
the romantic -lead opposite
glamour gal Zsa Zsa Gabor
in Allied Artists' recently
completed movie, "Queen of
the Universe."
All of which means you
should be able to. tag "and he
acted happily ever after" on
the end of the near fairy tale
of a movie star who once
came close to losing the very
quality needed for most ro
mantic parts -r- a handsome
face.
No Prince Charming
However, Fleming never
could have qualified, coun
tenancewise, in the Prince
Charming class in the first
place.
"That 200-pound steel block
that slipped didn't smash in
the face of a good looking
youth," the 31-year-old bach
elor explained. "When it hap
pened I was an ugly kid, 17
years old, who was conspicu
ous with a tremendously large
nose."
Fleming's nose wasn't the
only thing that bothered him.
He was plagued by club feet
as a child, and for years had
his teeth encased in braces.
"The last thing I was wor
ried about after that block
slipped was my appearance,"
he said. "I was used to being
ugly. But I was afraid I might
lose an eye. And I certainly
had no idea I'd end up looking
like this." ,
"Like this' means rugged
handsome features atop a six
foot three - inch 200-pound
frame.
"I used to believe that if I
could look like a human being
I could lick the world," he
said. "The things , I valued
most were money and looks."
Fleming started toward his
financial goal by working as
a hod-carrier when he was
13 Vfc. The actor had made his
own way since he was 9 and
had run away from his con
struction worker father after
a beating.
Reconstruction of his facial
features was necessary after
a heavy bar he was attempt
ing to balance above his head
slipped and narrowly missed
killing him.
