No, she probobaly was the women who King Kong captured.

I saw some of that movie recently.Cheap looking, but interesting to see.I don't know if I saw her in anything else, but that's sad.And it's a also sad that another person from the movies back then in the classic time period died.

R.I.P Fay Ray

Yeah, 96 years is a long time to live. I'm not too familiar with her films.

That's incredible. To look over her life, her career.. I loved King Kong, and I also thought she was great. Rest in peace.

For years I thought she was dead and then it turns out she wasn't. So much for that.

RIP to another person who actually had talent.

Here is Fay in a still from King Kong. I also thought that she was long dead. Actually she was younger than I thought! RIP Fay!

I remember Fay Wray! I've actually never seen King Kong, but I do remember her later movies. Anyone else remember her in Tammy and the Bachelor? I did know she was still alive because she was at the Oscars in 1998 (the year Titanic swept all the statues). I'll miss her. There are so few stars left from her time now. RIP, Fay.


Then something went wrong,
for Fay Wray and King Kong,
they got caught in a celluloid jam
then at a deadly pace
it came from outer space,
and this is how the message ran:

Science Fiction, Double Feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting
Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in
Forbidden Planet
At the late night
Double Feature
Picture Show.

Sad R.I.P Fay Ray

She was a beauty. Honestly though, I thought she died years ago.
