What a beautiful woman she was. Rest in peace, Ms. Darrow.

Miss Wray recalled that her husband.....He was a womanizer, an alcoholic and a drug addict, and she divorced him, she said, after he injected her with drugs while she slept,.....

Some things never change. My grandfather and his brother worked for the studios in the 30's and 40's, from crafts to stunts. They both had little use for the "celebrities" in that business.

She was great in that role.
The first Oscar winner for special effects was Willis O'Brien who made King Kong the terror he was.
Sadly I worked on Wall St in the 70's. I saw them doing the remake of KK at the WTC. I miss the WTC.

Warner Brothers screwed up BIG TIME by not re-releasing King Kong in 2003 (on the 70th anniversary of it's release).
