- Summary
- "Fay Wray's film career encompassed much more than her memorable turns as a damsel in distress. Wray appeared in 77 features films between 1925 and 1958, playing leading role in 67. Sadly, the true breadth of her career is not readily apparent today, as many of her films, including her entire silent film output, have been lost or are available only on a limited archival basis." "This heavily illustrated filmography of Wray's work at last makes obvious her sizeable contribution to the film industry. Following a career overview, it covers first her early silent feature film appearances; then her "leading lady" period in popular horror thrillers and other films in the sound era; and finally her latter-day supporting roles. Appendices document her theatrical film shorts and television appearances. Commentary throughout includes first-person interviews with Fay Wray."--BOOK JACKET.
