She was an actress of impressive girth who said that her name (Fullenwider) suited her.
Fran was best known as an actress in Italy. Federico Fellini met her at an audition for his film, "Casanova," and recommended her to the producers of "One Night We Met Through a Trick of Fate" (Una Sera C'incontrammo per Fatale Combinazione) where she shared star billing with Johnny Dorelli, Italy's equivalent of Frank Sinatra, which launched her into Italian stardom. "One Night" was released in Italy at the same time as "Jaws" and was the only film in the world to beat out "Jaws" at the box office.
She also appeared in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and most recently with Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons in "The House of Spirits."
Fran Fullenwider was raised mostly by her mother and aunt after her parents divorced when she was 5. They moved to France when she was 10 and in the late `50s moved to London where she attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
She then went to New York where she received a BA in English and a master's degree in radio television and film from New York University.
She appeared on television in many English comedy shows and interviews for "Fashion and Films." She also appeared in "Monster Club" with Vincent Price and "Eat the Rich" with Paul and Linda McCartney.
In addition to her television and film work, she wrote regular articles for `Yes!,' a magazine for large women.
She was a wonderful friend and a generous patron. She will be missed by all who knew her.
