Jean Harlow was the original choice to play the role of Anne Darrow in KING KONG, but MGM signed Harlow exclusively before RKO Pictures could begin filming.


Wray was paid $10,000 for her role in KING KONG and wore a blonde wig during filming.

Wray also appeared in such horror films as Doctor X and The Vampire Bat.
