Mood: loud
I guess she heard how bad Peter Jackson's remake was going to be. She knew she'd be tempted to see it, but would be utterly disappointed. "So what did Fay Wray do?" you ask. She keeled over!
Was it because she was green with envy over Naomi Watts being chosen as the new Ann Darrow? Didn't Fay want to be the only Ann Darrow? Was she afraid that some might prefer Naomi to her and send her hate mail?
Fear not, Fay! When the studios would have gone under for paying Peter Jackson so much and not being able to recoup...or even come anywhere close, you would have been victorious!
You could have died knowing that you were the one who made the original King Kong the hit that it was. And you would have stood tall, superior to Peter Jackson, Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, and Jack Black put together!!
But maybe, being the humble lady from Canada that you were, you decided that your time had come and you did not want to rub your superiority in anyone's face.
It would have been fun to see the remake fail miserably, wouldn't it have been? Maybe a tad bit painful, knowing someone wanted to cash in on what you had made successful.
Maybe if you had died right after the remake had been released, and it had been a smash hit, they would have said you couldn't take the fact that Naomi Watts was trying to shadow your legacy. So you died from grief!
Um, anyway, condolences to the family. I'm sure she will be missed. She will always live in our memory as Ann Darrow, even if Naomi Watts will live in our memory as the reporter from The Ring! HA HA HA HA!
