Ah! Fay, the original crush of the ill-fated great ape King Kong, was born 112 years ago today. That's a hundredweight of years!
Fay lived to the age of 96, her life ending in 2004.
5ft3 for this classic beauty. 💐💝
RIP Fay XXX 🕯️ (1907-2004)

Kong was at least 60 feet tall during the dinosaur battle. But Fay's size is all over the place.

Kong was 18 feet tall in most shots on Skull Island and 25 feet tall in most shots in New York. However he was made 50 feet in some shots and 70 feet in other shots. Arch was right, his height was all over the place. Promotional material for the film described him as 50 feet tall though.

Heyhey,King Kong probably never gave a care about her height,just her beauty.
Sometimes,I feel a woman is so beautiful,than even her height becomes a component of her beauty.Gabby Reece is perfect at 6'3 and Fay is perfect at 5'3.Any modofication whatsoever is useless in their cases.

Go to the article Monster heights, Arch. Rob rather generously lists Mr. Kong as 15 m/50 ft tall...in certain shots, he seems to struggle with looking half that tall. Clearly a lift-wearer. His uncouth relative from Peter Jackson had the dirty habit of walking around on all fours, so it's hard to tell how the two dudes stacked up.

Listed elsewhere, they had low body weights back in the day, maybe why a lot looked so small and lightweight

She goes in the record books as the biggest height descrepancy between a leading man and lady, 15 m vs 1.6 m. Usually they'd have to put her on a box but this time he literally had to pick her up in his hand to be in the same frame.
