Movie star Fay Wray, who was immortalised as the object of the giant ape's affection in King Kong, has died aged 96. She broke into films in the twenties, notably in Erich Von Stroheim's The Wedding March, but it's as the screaming heroine of early thirties horror movies such as The Most Dangerous Game, Doctor X, The Vampire Bat and Mystery of the Wax Museum that she will be best remembered. In later years she appeared in more motherly roles in films like Rock Pretty Baby and Tammy and the Bachelor, but had retired from the screen for many years.
