Brenden’s grandmother, Rhonda Fleming-Mann, starred in more than 40 pictures, including “Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” (1949) and “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” (1957). She shared the silver screen with Gregory Peck and Kirk Douglas.
With his grandparents at his side, Brenden worked his way through the movie business, first as usher and cashier, and later on the corporate side of operations. Brenden realized his personal dream in 1990 when he founded Brenden Theatre Corp. |
