Born on August 16, 1974, in Digby, Nova Scotia, Fleming attended Mount Douglas Senior Secondary in Victoria, British Columbia, and studied drama at the Kaleidoscope Theatre as well as the Kidco Theatre Dance Company.
Her early roles included an uncredited appearance in Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore, as well as a role in Viper.
In 2005 she was cast in Dario Argento’s show Masters of Horror, where she starred as a disfigured woman with cannibalistic urges.
She went on to star in other horror shows, including Bloodsuckers and The Tooth Fairy.
She came to prominence after landing a guest role on Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons from 2005 to 2020.
The series starred Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as his brother Dean Winchester. The brothers — whose father John Winchester was played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan — hunted supernatural creatures across the country.
Following their father’s death, Bobby became a surrogate father figure for Sam and Dean, and they later learned about his tragic past, including the loss of his wife Karen, who had been possessed by a demon. After her death, Karen continued to appear in flashbacks.
