Did you know that Fay Wray is still alive?
She was born in 1907. She has always been into health food.

7. Wanna know some cool stuff about Eddie? Like, why his b-day is significant
From IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000734/bio

Served in the United States Navy during WWII

Was an active participant in the battle of Tarawa (Nov. 1943), one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, and U.S. Marines Corps history. Is credited with braving enemy fire during 26 rescue missions saving wounded Marines. Has spoken about it in television documentaries.

Because of Eddie Albert's early work with enviromental causes and groups, when International Earth Day was created, it was decided it must be held on April 22 because that is his birthday.

Was awarded the Bronze Star with a combat 'V' for rescuing 70 Marines during the battle of Tarawa in 1943

8. Damn straight!
He was a war hero and an environmentalist, he helped immeasurably in the banning of DDT with the psas he did showing what was happening to the peregrine falcons and the brown pelicans, among others...
He was a true war hero yet played a coward in the movie "Attack", which also took a lot of guts...Powerful movie, if you like war films, see it!

5. Yes!
And she is going to have a cameo in the latest remake of King Kong...

Do you remember seeing her at the Osacars the year Titanic won ? She seemed a little out of it, maybe because she didn't expect to be introduced by Billy Crystal...I've heard she's quite lucid and active still!

A couple more pictures to drool over...Yep, she was a babe!

6. Well, that answers Frank-N-Furter's musical question
Okay, that wasn't too obscure, was it?

11. Guess I'll spell it out for the virgins in the audience
DON'T DREAM IT (From the Rocky Horror Picture Show)

Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to treasure forever
Can't you just see it. Whoa ho ho!
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it


Chorus Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it
