"She's a strip of celluloid, a beam of light..."

An interesting obituary for Fay Wray.

I especially like the exchange re-told here, of a meeting between Hugh Hefner and Ms. Wray. He said to her, "I loved your movie." She replied, "Which one?"

The Washington Post had a good couple of articles on Fay Wray, including this great quote:

"Being in the most famous movie of all time is my greeting card," she told the Toronto Star in 1990. "I finally got to lunch with Larry Olivier a few years back. Wouldn't talk a bit about Shakespeare to me. Only wanted to know how we'd made Kong climb the Empire State Building."
