I watched INFERNO for the first time this year. The fact she was still alive was one reason I wanted to catch it--did the same with Gone with the Wind...

Sad to hear this. Rhonda Fleming was a superb actress. They called her "Queen of Technicolor".
Thanks for the movies and some wonderful memories, Ms. Fleming ... Wendell Corey, Bob Hope & Rhonda Fleming

She had an Iris named after her ... Said to be a flower with a delicate texture and complex structure.

Film noir chronicler Eddie Muller and Rhonda Fleming attended a screening of Robert Parrish's crime picture 'Cry Danger' (1951) at the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival in 2012; the film co-stars noir icon Dick Powell ...
Here's Rhonda Fleming with Ingrid Bergman in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Spellbound' (1945) ...
In Robert Siodmak's 'The Spiral Staircase' (1946) ...
With Robert Mitchum in Jacques Tourneur's 'Out Of The Past' (1947) ...
And with Vincent Price in Fritz Lang's 'While The City Sleeps' (1956) ...
Having paired with Glenn Ford in the signature western 'The Redhead And The Cowboy' (1951), Allan Dwan cast Rhonda Fleming in her signature noir, which is one of Martin Scorsese's all-time favourite films and teaching subjects, 'Slightly Scarlet' (1956) ... Fleming also worked with Dwan on the western 'Tennessee's Partner' (1955) ... she's seen here in 'Slightly Scarlet' with Arlene Dahl ...

R.I.P. Rhonda Fleming
 Technicolor or not, a beauty she was, and will be missed, no matter what.

 Ideally teamed with Jeff Chandler in the rip roaring YANKEE PASHA from 1954, which boasts the unwoke joys of Lee J Cobb as a Sultan and Mamie Van Doren as Cobb's plaything. Highly recommended.
INFERNO was certainly a good one - Rhonda in 3D certainly no hardship  . My Dad liked her - he always referred to her when she appeared onscreen as " a big strong girl" ...one of his highest terms of compliment...(Ruth Roman was another to enjoy such rare acclaim)
JIVARO was fun - a lively jungle romp with a much shirtless Fernando Lamas taking Rhonda up the Amazon  in his boat searching for her lost fiancee - essentially it's THE AFRICAN QUEEN but with hotties and 3D ..... native spears, headhunters, tigers, alligators, local firecracker Rita Moreno who feels threatened by Rhonda's presence (and what woman wouldn't?)and Rhonda herself in a selection of fetching junglewear. as well as Fernando's rippling torso all comin' at ya.... 
1950s studio colour romps would have been less lovely without her
RIP Rhonda
And to finish.....a rather lovely cheesecake shot emphasising her "Queen of Technicolour" credentials.

Very sad news... but not unexpected. I believe she was 97.
She was an incredible woman... a rare gem, the likes of which, we will never see again...
A few years ago... I sent her a E-Message with birthday wishes, through her website... and let her know that I had just recently become a fan of hers, and I had just started seeing more of her work... and her secretary responded to it saying that it "warmed her heart"...
I sent her a follow up E-Message the next year too... her secretary responded again, and saying again that it "warmed her heart"...
She will be greatly missed by all of her fans.
R.I.P.

With Robert Mitchum in Jacques Tourneur's 'Out Of The Past' (1947) ...
That is the bland Virginia Huston, not Rhonda Fleming. Fleming did have a supporting role in the flick, though. Until recently I was disappointed in the casting of Virginia Huston, who lacks any sex appeal, but I now realize that it makes Jeff Bailey's infatuation with Kathie all the more believable.  In this scene Fleming plays Mitchum's cousin, a bookmaker named Norman from Cleveland, Ohio. Out of the Past is the most quotable movie ever made. As Jeff's taxi-driver friend watches Fleming walk away he comments "Nice!". Jeff replies "Awful cold around the heart".

I think they look alike based on your picture, but maybe that's just me.
