filkertomThis is going to sound idiotic to some people. I suspect others will understand completely.
The most desired woman in the history of film passed away today at the age of ninety-six.
She was in a whole bunch of movies, over a span of years from 1923 to 1980. She was on TV in a number of roles from 1952 to 1960. She even wrote a play in 1944. But she is best known for precisely one thing, and for that thing she became a goddess.
Because those of us of a certain bent could not get out of our heads the idea of there being anything, anything in the world, better than either rescuing a beautiful, terrified young woman, and feeling her desperate, passionate form clinging in sobbing gratitude... or of being the hitherto unimaginable beast that held her ripe beauty in the palm of our hand.
Fay Wray died quietly in her sleep on Sunday. If that hits you the way it hits me... well, either it does, or it doesn't.
Here's the Yahoo news story and her listing at IMDB.
Fare thee well, gentle lady. And thank you for an adventure we will never forget.
