E-044: St Martins Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1989. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. St. Martin's Press. 1989. 270 pgs. Illustrated with Black and White Plates. First Edition/First Printing. Signed by Fay Wray on the DJ. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards very lightly rubbed and worn. The former actress disarms readers at once with her fond letter to King Kong that opens this well-written, engrossing autobiography. She confesses that when told that her leading man in the 1933 Kong epic was Hollywood's "tallest, darkest," she happily anticipated Cary Grant, not the great ape who "had a pretty strong hold on me." Wray, born in Canada in 1908, was 17 when she first appeared in silent films; she made the transition to talkies and, ultimately, performed in some 75 movies between 1925 and 1958. Among her reminiscences of co-workers like Lillian Gish and Gary Cooper, her recollection of working with Erich von Stroheim in The Wedding March is the most vivid. Wray's personal life evokes sympathy. Her marriage to unstable screen writer John Monk Saunders ended badly. There are accounts of the actress's unfulfilling relationships with other men playwright Clifford Odets, for one before her 1942 marriage to late screenwriter Robert Riskin.
