Another prominent role for the CW was 2015’s Candy Baker in the supernatural comedy-drama “iZombie.”
Her other TV credits include “Supergirl,” “UnREAL,” “Motive,” “Continuum,” “Package Deal,” “Alice,” “Knights of Bloodsteel,” The 4400,” “The L Word,” and “Smallville.”
On the big screen, in addition to “Happy Gilmore,” she was cast in “Good Luck Chuck,” and “Married Life.”
Fleming also appeared in the TV film “The Unauthorized Full House Story,” where she played the mother of “Full House” star Candace Cameron Bure, who appeared on the show in her role of DJ Tanner.
A representative for Fleming was not immediately available to Page Six.
