Happy 100th Birthday Fay Wray!

Fay Wray
September 15, 1907 - August 8, 2004

"My scream was a product of pure imagination. I had to imagine what was happening to me, and I imagined that the nearest help was far away. When I first saw the picture I thought the screams were overdone. But they were an important part of the picture and I was delighted with how it all looked. My scenes with King were exactly the way I imagined them." --- Fay Wray
