Carrie Anne Fleming, ‘Supernatural’ and ‘iZombie’ Actress, Dies at 51

Canadian actress Carrie Anne Fleming died on February 26 in Sidney, British Columbia. She was 51.

Born on August 16, 1974, in Digby, Nova Scotia, Fleming moved to British Columbia as a child. She attended Mount Douglas Senior Secondary in Victoria and studied drama at the Kaleidoscope Theatre and Kidco Theatre Dance Company in the same city.

Fleming began her screen career with a recurring role on the series “Viper” and appeared in Adam Sandler’s 1996 film “Happy Gilmore.” Dario Argento cast her in the title role of the 2005 “Masters of Horror” episode “Jenifer,” in which she portrayed a disfigured woman with cannibalistic tendencies. She also appeared in the horror features “The Tooth Fairy” and “Bloodsuckers.”

Cause of her death?

Jim Beaver, her co-star on “Supernatural,” confirmed that Fleming died from complications related to breast cancer.

Beaver, who played her onscreen husband Bobby Singer, shared a personal tribute on Facebook:

“My friend, my lover, my bright light, my beautiful costar Carrie Anne Fleming, who played Bobby Singer’s wife Karen on Supernatural died on Thursday, February 26, after confronting cancer for a long time. My heart is broken,” he wrote.

Her representative told People that she “died peacefully with her loved ones by her side” and described her as “a beautiful soul, inspiring, and above all, kind.”

On “Supernatural,” she played Karen Singer in multiple episodes across the long-running CW drama.

She later took the recurring role of Candy Baker on “iZombie,” appearing throughout all five seasons of the series.

Additional television credits included guest spots on “Smallville,” “Supergirl,” “The L Word,” “The 4400,” “UnREAL,” “Continuum,” “Alice,” “Knights of Bloodsteel,” “The Dead Zone,” “Stargate SG-1” and “Secret Agent Man.”

In 2015 she portrayed the mother of Candace Cameron Bure’s character in the television film “The Unauthorized Full House Story.”

Fleming performed in several stage productions in British Columbia, among them “Noises Off,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Steel Magnolias” and “Fame.”

• Even though treatments are there and awareness drives are everywhere in the U.S., roughly 42,000+ women die from the disease annually.

Fleming is survived by her daughter Madalyn Rose, also known as Max. A memorial service for Carrie Anne Fleming will be announced at a later date.
