| Empire State Building to Honor Fay Wray Tonight A fitting tribute. From the NY Times: "The Empire State Building -- the skyscraper that King Kong scaled while holding tight to Fay Wray -- will dim its lights for 15 minutes Tuesday in honor of the actress who died Sunday, a building spokesman said. "I used to resent 'King Kong,'" she said in a 1963 interview. "But now I don't fight it anymore. I realize that it is a classic, and I am pleased to be associated with it." Although Kong appeared huge, the full figure was really only 18 inches tall. Wray spent her time with its fake arm, which was 8 feet long. "I would stand on the floor," she recalled, "and they would bring this arm down and cinch it around my waist, then pull me up in the air. Every time I moved, one of the fingers would loosen, so it would look like I was trying to get away. Actually, I was trying not to slip through his hand." "King Kong" was remade in 1976 with the giant ape scaling the World Trade Center towers with Jessica Lange in its oversized grip. The story is being remade yet again by "The Lord of the Rings" filmmaker Peter Jackson, this time with Naomi Watts as the female lead. The newest movie is set for release in 2005." |

| Re: Empire State Building to Honor Fay Wray Tonight That was a nice thing to do for her. I am still amazed that she was 96 or something like that! Fighting gorillas must be good for you!   |
