    Is it me or does this image make Wray kind of look like Celine Dion?

    Happy Stamping!

    Fay was from Cardston, Alberta just down the road an hour south of Calgary where I live. Apparently she would return every summer for a visit and was very proud to be from there.

    Although she is most famous for her role in the original King Kong made in 1933, she also made many more movies. A truly interesting person in every way.
