Fay Wray

When you think of the classic monster movie “King Kong” (1933), you think of a towering ape, a crumbling skyscraper, and a terrified woman who becomes the unlikely object of affection for a monster. That woman was Fay Wray—one of the first and most memorable “scream queens” in cinematic history. Wray’s performance in the 1933 monster epic cemented her place in Hollywood history.
