Actress Fay Wray Autographed 3X5 Died2004 Actress, fay wray autographed 3x5 card dated on reverse 1933. Signed the same year as the classic knig kong was released.
Minor soiling in upper left hadn corner. She is best remembered for her role as ann darrow, the blonde seductress of the gigantic gorilla in the classic horror/adventure film king kong (1933). She wore a blonde wig over her naturally dark hair for the role. She continued in films but by the early 1940s her appearances grew sporadic. She appeared frequently on television making her final appearance in 1980. In the later years of her life, wray continued to make public appearances, and was a guest at the 70th academy awards, where the show's host, billy crystal introduced her and paid tribute to her film legacy. Wray was approached to appear in a small cameo for the 2005 remake of king kong, and also met with naomi watts who was to play teh ann darrow role. Before filming commenced, however, wray died in her sleep on august 8, 2004, in her manhattan apartment of natural causes (writers of teh remake did honor her, however, with a comical mention in that film). She was 96 years old, only 38 days short of her 97th birthday. After her death was announced the lights on the empire state building were extinguished for 15 minutes in her memory.
