WHEN FAY WRAY HAD "ONE OF THE BEST FIGURES IN HOLLYWOOD"


Fay Wray had just finished filming the thriller, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, when this photo appeared in MODERN SCREENs October 1932 issue. and announces that her next film will be "Kong". In just a few sentences it lists her celebrity vitals, including the statements that she has "one of the best figures in Hollywood", "likes sunbathing", and "has great physical courage". She'd need it to make it through the filming of KING KONG. The photo is by Ernest A. Bachrach, RKOs staff photographer.


BONUS! A page from FILM DAILY Wednesday, December 28 1932 shows a full-page ad for THE VAMPIRE BAT, a film Fay Wray made with Lionel Atwill, Melvyn Douglas and Dwight Frye that would be released the following January 21 1933.
