Biography
Canadian born, 'Fay Wray' (qv) was brought up in Los Angeles and
entered films at an early age. Fay was barely in her teens when she
started working as an extra. Her early career has been described as
working in "Oaters" as she was often cast as the silent heroine in
Westerns at Universal. In 1926, the Western Association of Motion
Picture Advertisers selected 13 young starlets whom they deemed
most likely to succeed in pictures. Fay was chosen as one of these
starlets along with Janet Gaynor and Mary Astor. Fame would indeed
come to Fay when she played another heroine in Stroheim's _Wedding
March, The (1928)_ (qv). She would continue playing leads in a
number of films such as the good-bad girl in _Thunderbolt (1929)_
(qv). By the early 30's, she was at Paramount working with 'Gary
Cooper' (qv) and 'Jack Holt' (qv) in a number of average films like
_Master of Men (1933)_ (qv). She also appeared in horror films such
as _Doctor X (1932)_ (qv) and _Vampire Bat, The (1933)_ (qv) and it
is not known whether the Horror is script driven or work driven.
Next Fay was told that she would work with a tall dark leading man,
only to find that it was a gorilla. Perhaps no one in the history
of pictures could scream more dramatically than Fay, and she really
put on a show with _King Kong (1933)_ (qv). Fay's character
provided a combination of sex appeal, vulnerability and lung
capacity as she was stalked by the giant beast all the way to the
top of the Empire State Building. But that was as far as Fay would
rise as this was, after all, just another horror-type movie. After
the King, she began a slow decline that put her into low-budget
action films by the mid 30's. In 1939, her marriage to Saunders
would end in divorce and her career would be almost finished. In
1942, Fay would remarry and retire from the screen, forever to be
remembered as the girl in 'King Kong'. In 1953, she would make a
comeback playing mature character roles and also appear on
Television as Catherine, Natalie Wood's mother in _"Pride of the
Family, The" (1953)_ (qv). She would continue to appear in films
until 1958 and Television into the 60's.
