Fay Wray (born Vina Fay Wray; September 15, 1907 – August 8, 2004) was a Canadian-American actress most noted for playing the female lead in King Kong. Through an acting career that spanned 57 years, Wray attained international renown as an actress in horror movie roles. She was one of the first "scream queens".After appearing in minor movie roles, Wray gained media attention being selected as one of the "WAMPAS Baby Stars". This led to Wray being contracted to Paramount Pictures as a teenager, where she made more than a dozen movies. After leaving Paramount, she signed deals with various film companies, being cast in her first horror film roles among many other types of roles, including in The Bowery (1933) and Viva Villa (1934), both huge productions starring Wallace Beery. For RKO Radio Pictures, Inc., she starred in the film with which she is most identified, King Kong (1933). After the success of King Kong, Wray appeared in many major movie roles and on television, finishing her acting career in 1980. | Date Of Birth | September 15, 1907 |

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [In a 1990 interview in "Films in Review"] King Kong is my friend. He's been my public relations man for years. It was an extraordinarily good role, but the richness of the role that I had in The Wedding March (1928) appealed to me more. and that's very understandable, I think, since there weren't many nuances in the King Kong (1933) role. That was a fantasy, and there was a broadness to it that seemed unreal. |
| 2 | [on declining a role in Titanic (1997)] I think to have done Titanic would have been a torturous experience altogether. |
| 3 | [1993, on not being able to escape her role in King Kong (1933)] Recently, a six-year-old boy said to me, "I've been waiting to meet you for half my life.". |
| 4 | [In a 1969 interview in The New York Times] When I'm in New York, I look at the Empire State Building and feel as though it belongs to me, or is it vice-versa? |
| 5 | Every time I'm in New York, I say a little prayer when passing the Empire State Building. A good friend of mine died up there. |
| 6 | I was known as the queen of the Bs. If only I'd been a little more selective. |
| 7 | [2004] When I shot my scenes, Kong wasn't there at all. I had to use my imagination, which was exciting and terrifying at the same time. Acting is about the imagination, that's the great joy of it. But nothing quite like it had been done before, so I was a little nervous about how it would all come together. |
| 8 | [2004, on the remake planned for King Kong (1933)] If they don't have it in their hearts, they shouldn't be doing it, but if they do, hey just need to feel their way through it, just like we did so long ago. |
| 9 | [2004] All my life I've written something, I've always cared much more about writing than I do about acting. |
| 10 | [2004, on her favorite screen appearance, in The Wedding March (1928)] I still love that film, Erich von Stroheim was a wonderful human being, and he took a chance on me. I was only 19 when I did the screen test, but he saw something in me. After 75 years, it's still one of the happiest experiences of my life. And it was a nice part, wasn't it? |
| 11 | [2004, referring to King Kong (1933)] He [Merian C. Cooper] called me into his office and showed me sketches of jungle scenes and told me, "You're going to have the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood." Naturally, I thought Clark Gable. But then he showed me this sketch of a giant ape up the side of the Empire State Building, and he said, "There's your leading man.". |
| 12 | [2004, on King Kong (1933)] When we did it, I just thought how lucky I was to be in the movies, where something like this was possible. |
| 13 | [2004, on King Kong (1933)] When my youngest daughter first saw the film, she said, "Kong wasn't trying to hurt you, he was just trying to protect you", which was right. |
| 14 | [2004] [Erich von Stroheim] never got treated correctly in Hollywood, but he made me feel very happy. |
| 15 | [2004, on Doctor X (1932), Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) and The Vampire Bat (1933)] Those horror pictures were the parts I was being offered at the time, and the scream came into play in almost all of them. People today call them classics; that amuses me a little, because I had so many reservations about them when I made them. I thought they were much too gruesome. |
| 16 | [2004, on her role of Ann Darrow in King Kong (1933)] They put me in a blonde wig for the role. |
| 17 | [2004] That one single movie [King Kong (1933)] has reached millions of people of all ages, all over the world--and audiences are still fascinated by it today. |
| 18 | [2004, on The Wedding March (1928)] That movie meant a lot to me; my heart was right up in my throat. |
| 19 | [2004, on The Wedding March (1928)] That film changed my life. |
| 20 | [on working with Lillian Gish in The Cobweb (1955)] She was a lovely actress and I admired her very much. She was a very delicate and elegant lady. |
| 21 | [2004] Right after The Wedding March (1928) everything happened at once. Sound was coming in, and color was being used for the first time. It was very exciting to be a part of it. |
| 22 | [2004, on her trip to England in 1934] One day, I was walking through Hyde Park and I overheard a Cockney woman tell her child, "If y' don't behive, I'll 'ave Fay Wrye arter yer!". I couldn't believe it. |
| 23 | [2004, on King Kong (1933)] My scream was a product of pure imagination. I had to imagine what was happening to me, and I imagined that the nearest help was far away. When I first saw the picture, I thought the screams were overdone. But they were an important part of the picture and I was delighted with how it all looked. My scenes with King were exactly the way I imagined them. |
| 24 | [2004, on the remake (King Kong (2005))] I have no advice for them. |
| 25 | [2004] I have come to believe over the years that Kong is my friend. |
| 26 | [2004, on her trip to England in 1934] As soon as I got off the boat, a man met me and said, "Will you please come up to the BBC studios and scream for us?". |
| 27 | At the premiere of King Kong (1933) I wasn't too impressed. I thought there was too much screaming... I didn't realize then that King Kong and I were going to be together for the rest of our lives, and longer... |

| 17 | For the remake of King Kong (2005), director Peter Jackson wanted Fay to say the closing line of the film. Since she died before it was done, the line went to Jack Black. |
| 18 | She spent time with and became friends with Peter Jackson, a major fan, while he was in the process of developing his remake of King Kong (1933). Before she passed on, Wray also met and became friendly with Naomi Watts, whom she also approved to play the part that Wray originated, 'Ann Darrow'. |

| 21 | She is referenced twice in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). During the Floorshow, Frank says, 'Whatever happened to Fay Wray/that delicate, satin-draped frame/as it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry/cause I wanted to be dressed just the same'; and in the opening song: 'then something went wrong/for Fay Wray and King Kong/they got caught in a celluloid jam'. |
| 22 | Following her death, she was interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. This cemetery is near downtown Hollywood just blocks from Hollywood and Vine Streets. The cemetery is behind the Paramount Studios, surrounded by many businesses, and is easy to miss for first-time travelers. |

| 24 | On August 10, 2004, two days after her death, the lights on the Empire State Building in New York City (scene of the climax from her most popular film, King Kong (1933), were dimmed for 15 minutes in her memory. |
| 25 | Her film King Kong (1933) saved its studio, RKO Radio Pictures, from bankruptcy. |
| 26 | Despite leaving Canada at an early age, she often visited Cardston, Alberta, her hometown. |
| 27 | She is regarded as Hollywood's first "scream queen". This was due to the 1932-1933 season when she made the early Technicolor thrillers Doctor X (1932) and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) (both at Warner Brothers with Lionel Atwill). She also costarred in The Vampire Bat (1933) at Majestic (again with Atwill) and at RKO she made The Most Dangerous Game (1932) and, of course, King Kong (1933). |
| 28 | In January 2003, a 95-year-old Fay Wray was awarded the "Legend in Film" Award at the Palm Beach International Film Festival when she appeared there in person to celebrate Rick McKay's film Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There (2003), which she also appeared in.

| 32 | She had a daughter, Susan Riskin, by her first marriage to writer John Monk Saunders and two children, Robert Riskin Jr. and Victoria Riskin, by her second marriage to the writer Robert Riskin. |
| 33 | On The 70th Annual Academy Awards (1998). Billy Crystal introduced a clip of her in King Kong (1933) and then came offstage and stood next to Miss Wray in the audience, and introduced her as the "Beauty who charmed the Beast, the Legendary Fay Wray". Miss Wray was completely caught off guard, appearing to have not even noticed that Crystal had moved near her when the lights were turned down for the clip from "King Kong", then rose from her seat to rapturous applause and waved. Normally, the audience would have given her a standing ovation, but sensing her discombobulation at being caught off-guard on live, worldwide television, they did not. (In retrospect, given Miss Wray's advanced age, perhaps the producers should have let her know their plans in advance.) Crystal gently teased her that she was on This Is Your Life (1952) and thanked her for being a part of the evening. Miss Wray smiled with gratitude. |
