"Whatever happened to Fay Wray?"

Tuesday, August 10th, 2004


You wonder for a moment as Frank sings the line in Rocky Horror, - what did happen to her? - and then you forget again as the movie or stage show continues.

Well, this is what happened: she died yesterday aged 96.

The Associated Press reports:

“Wray died Sunday at her Manhattan apartment, said Rick McKay, a friend and director of the last film she appeared in. There was no official cause of death.

“She just kind of drifted off quietly as if she was going to sleep,” said McKay, director of the documentary “Broadway: The Golden Age.”

“She just kind of gave out.”
