Welcome.. Don't worry, I'm not going to carry on with the clairvoyance jokes, but of course you knew I was going to say that...I'm sorry, I just can't seem to stop...
Anyway, what drew audiences to The Evil Mind, a Gainsborough Picture, was it's stars. So, who is really the greatest Scream Queen of all time? Is it Barbara Steele or Ingrid Pitt, who starred in many classic horror movies of the sixties? Or could it be the lovely Elsa Lancaster who portrayed the ultimate female fantastic creation in Bride of Frankenstein, or screamers like Carolyn Munroe, Leanna Quigley, or Sybil Danning? Who can claim so many horror projects in their busiest years? Well, all these women are worthy names to toss around, but for many the individual to remember for real Queen status remains a Canadian actress from Alberta named Fay Wray.

In 1933, Fay Wray was being threatened on movie screens by more than just King Kong. Next in The Vampire Bat by, surprisingly enough, a bat, and then in The Mystery Of The Wax Museum, threatened by...um, wax...and so on...as she faultlessly played hapless heroines in horrendous hazards. For the second and third time, she also had to endure Lionel Atwill's formidable villainy. Consequently, the year 1933 was to be Fay's busiest, as eleven different movies took to the screen with her name in the cast.

Fay Wray died in her Manhattan apartment in 2004 from natural causes, close to a month before celebrating her 97th birthday, and she's looking well. The immortal paramour of the apes, Fay Wray had been approached by director Peter Jackson about appearing in his remake of King Kong, but declined with an unarguable finality. Some actors will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid working in New Zealand.
