Original portrait photograph of Fay Wray, circa 1930

  • Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1930
By Fay Wray (subject)
Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1930. Vintage portrait photograph of actress Fay Wray, circa 1930. Mimeo snipe on the verso, along with annotations in manuscript ink.

Wray was contracted with Paramount Pictures from 1927 to 1931. Drifting from studio to studio after her contract ended, the actress would begin to gain a reputation as a "scream queen" thanks to her appearances in "Doctor X" (1932), "The Most Dangerous Game" (1932), "The Vampire Bat" (1933), "Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933)—and, most famously, in "King Kong" (1933).

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with an annotation in manuscript ink noting Wray's name on the bottom right corner of the recto, light wear at the corners, and paper tape reinforcement on the verso of the top right corner.
