Description: This heavily illustrated filmography of Wrays work at last makes obvious her sizeable contribution to the silver screeen. It begins with an overview of her professional acting career, from her period of great demand after the making of King Kong to her gradual decline after her divorce in 1939. The filmography is divided into three sections that describe and discuss the complete collection of Fay Wrays films. The first section introduces Wrays early silent feature film appearances; the second covers her leading lady period in popular horror thrillers and other films in the sound era; and the third covers her latter-day supporting roles.
