"The latest entry in the field is Sydne Rome, a 27-year-old golden girl from the American Midwest [...] 'After high school in Akron, I went to Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh to study theater. After that, I went to work in the Pasadena Playhouse. We played everything—Shakespeare, Chekhov, Tennessee Williams.' Sydne's first stab at movies was a disappointment. A Hollywood agent sent her to Rome to try out for the title role in "Candy" but she lost out to Swedish actress Ewa Aulin. Sydne returned to Pasadena, and worked there for about a year before returning to Europe and making her first movie- 'Some Girls Do,' a British production filmed in Spain.

"On the Outskirts of Sydne: Her sultry looks have given actress Sydne Rome a sex-bomb image she prefers to disown; 'You can't stop people thinking about you in sex terms, can you?'". Sunday Telegraph Magazine. pp. 47, 48. Retrieved January 27, 2025. "She was born in Akron, Ohio, on March 17, 1946. [...] Rome's father, who still likes to talk Yiddish, owned a plastics factory in Akron. But she was brought up in neighbouring Upper Sandusky [...] She fled from this environment at the age of 17 and enrolled in the Carnegie Tech school of acting at Pittsburgh University. Her first stage job was at Pasadena Playhouse in California, where she was noticed by an agent who flew her to Rome for a screen test for the title role of Candy, which was ultimately played by Ewa Aulin."
