CAB Comment––I am a huge and longtime fan of the original 1933 movie “King Kong”, and over the years I have also become a big Fay Wray fan too. Well, maybe I’m just a little bit in love with her. Fay Wray was the original cuty-pie girl next door, and boy was she adorable (and sexy as hell) when she screamed––a “Scream Queen” original. I am very much looking forward to reading this story of her life. While she may have been a desirable screamer, she was also one of the hardest working actresses in Hollywood, and a fascinating person. This one is a winner all around.
“On The Other Hand: A Life Story”–– Publisher’s Weekly Review:
“The former actress disarms readers at once with her fond letter to King Kong that opens this well-written, engrossing autobiography. She confesses that when told that her leading man in the 1933 Kong epic was Hollywood's "tallest, darkest," she happily anticipated Cary Grant, not the great ape who "had a pretty strong hold on me." Wray, born in Canada in 1908, was 17 when she first appeared in silent films; she made the transition to talkies and, ultimately, performed in some 75 movies between 1925 and 1958. Among her reminiscences of co-workers like Lillian Gish and Gary Cooper, her recollection of working with Erich von Stroheim in The Wedding March is the most vivid. Wray's personal life evokes sympathy. Her marriage to unstable screen writer John Monk Saunders ended badly. There are accounts of the actress's unfulfilling relationships with other men, playwright Clifford Odets for one, before her 1942 marriage to late screenwriter Robert Riskin.”––Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POĒtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you.
