FAY WRAY (1931) Paramount Pictures original keybook glamour photograph V230FAY WRAY (1931) Paramount Pictures original keybook glamour photograph.ABOUT FAY WRAY : Fay Wray was barely in her teens when she started working as an extra and continued on as a heroine in westerns at Universal during the silent era. She played another heroine in Erich von Stroheim's The Wedding March (1928) and the good-bad girl in Thunderbolt (1929). In the early 1930s she was glamorous and worked at Paramount with Gary Cooper and Jack Holt in a number films, such as Master of Men (1933) and she also appeared in horror films as Doctor X (1932) and The Vampire Bat (1933). In 1933 Fay was approached by producer Merian C. Cooper for his next film but he didn't tell her the "tall, dark leading man" was a giant gorilla. The film was the classic King Kong (1933). Her character provided a combination of sex appeal and vulnerability. After "Kong", she began a slow decline that put her into low-budget action films by the mid '30s. In 1942 she remarried and retired from the screen, forever to be remembered as the "beauty who killed the beast" in "King Kong" although in 1953 she made a comeback, playing mature character roles.Photograph measures 8" x 10".Photograph is in excellent condition.
