What To Know
In Supernatural, Fleming played Karen Singer, the wife of Beaver’s character, Bobby Singer, in three episodes.
Beaver wrote on Facebook that Fleming was “a powerhouse of vitality and goodwill and amazingly good nature, with a rapturous laugh and an utterly adorable personality that didn't seem to have an off switch.”
He said that they met on the set of Supernatural, after she had been cast as his wife in the shows fifth season. “I fell for her hard,” he wrote, and said that “I was so in love I think my eyes turned silver. She seemed to think I was worth hanging around with, too.”
His post noted that he lived in California and she was based in Canada, and this “kept us both physically and matrimonially apart, though we remedied the first when we could and, I'm sure, at some point we would have remedied the latter if it had been possible."
She also played Candy Barker on the CW’s iZombie, for five seasons. That show centers on a medical resident who realizes there are benefits to being a zombie, and uses these to assist the police
Fleming also had roles in Supergirl, UnREAL, Continuum, Alice, Knights of Bloodsteel, The 4400, The L Word, Smallville, The Dead Zone, Stargate SG-1 and Secret Agent Man.
What People Are Saying
Actor Jim Beaver wrote in a tribute shared to Facebook: “She got me like only one other person really, truly ever has. Except for my love for her, I'm not sure if I would have been good for her. But she was terribly good for me.”
