King Kong’s main squeeze celebrated her 95th birthday today.
*Whatever happened to Fay Wray
That delicate satin-draped frame
As it clung to her thigh
How I started to cry
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same. *
Well not really. I look awful in drag so I usually go to the RHPS as Eddie.
When I saw the thread title I thought to myself “She got fucked by a 50 foot gorilla!”
Married to a man who did Riff Raff for a few years. . .
She went apeshit!
[sub]I mean, everyone knows that.
You mean I get to be the first to say it?[/sub]

She was one of the prettiest Hollywood actresses of the 1930’s, and also hard-working; she made King Kong and The Most Dangerous Game at the same time, running through the same jungle sets for both movies. She also gave a good comic turn as a seriously dumb blonde in The Affairs of Cellini.
Whatever happened to Fay Wray (She got f*cked by a 40 foot ape)
That delicate satin-draped frame (It was polyester)
As it clung to her thigh (It stuck to her crotch)
How I started to cry (I’d cry too, if I were stuck to your crotch)
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same.
Manoman. I spent WAAAAY too many nights at RHPS.
i saw her in a National Geographic around the late 1980s (possibly the same one that showed off William Gaines’ Statue of Liberty collection)
Didn’t she win an Academy Award for Blue Sky?
…what…?
Our line for “as it clung to her thigh” was “like a homesick abortion!” which was guaranteed to gross out even the most jaded of movie-goers.
Remember a few years ago when Billy Crystal hauled her out of her seat at the Oscars? She looked really scared and confused and I felt so bad for her.
Fay Wray is alive and well.
Er, at least she was in 1998.
