Fay Wray, the actress best known for her role as the object of a giant ape’s desire in the 1933 film “King Kong,” died yesterday. She was 96.
Wray died in her Fifth Avenue apartment in New York, the New York Times reported, citing friend Rick McKay.
Wray was born Vina Fay Wray near Cardston, Alberta, on Sept. 15, 1907, one of six children, according to the Internet Movie Database. Raised in Los Angeles, she began her film career at age 16 and appeared in more than 100 films, from “The Coast Patrol” in 1925 to “Gideon’s Trumpet” in 1980 with Henry Fonda.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
