Farewell Fay Wray
If you don’t know who Fay Wray is - was - then you aren’t really a film fan. One of the most iconic moments in cinema history is the finale of the 1933 movie, King Kong, when the eponymous beast scales the heights of the Empire State Building, clutching a screaming Fay Wray in his giant hand.
But yesterday, the curtain finally closed for the 96 year old actress who will always be remembered as the original Bride of Kong.
Sadly I think a lot of film fans may not know who she is… I wonder if her ashes will be scattered from the top of the Empire State building?

To be honest, I thought she was already dead!
