Talk:Fay Wray

Walk of Fame
Some of the news stories are saying that she has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame, I couldn't find her on the website so I went down there and checked. I believe the presentation was put off to november, Dhodges 00:27, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I'm sticking with "scheduled to receive" regarding her star. People are probably wondering why some guy keeps wandering around King street/ Roy Thomson Hall area with his head down. I'm looking for the star.Dhodges 13:58, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Citizenship
Was she a Canadian when she died or did she become a U.S. citizen?

So we will assume that she is a US citizen, but that she didn't keep her Canadian citizenship?? How did that come to be? Legally she was also a British Subject and if she did specifically renounce Canadian citizen at some point of which there would be a record, she was still a Canadian citizen and British subject when she died. It's all about the birth place, at that time, as it is today, she would be a Canadian citizen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:603:100:9E:A1FC:94D2:3F28:2492 (talk) 20:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Given that she was three when the family moved i'd say its safe to assume she was a U.S citizen. Dhodges 23:49, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC) Based on what?? If she did become an American citizen there would be records, even being born to American parents in another country requires a certificate of American born abroad to be applied for. Otherwise she is Canadian and a British subject.

Her parents were American, and moved to Canada in pursuit of economic opportunity. They only lived in Alberta for a few years. According to the (Calgary) newspaper accounts at the time of her death, she was the only one of her family to be born in Canada. She never lived in Canada after the age of three, and one has to wonder if she ever even established Canadian citizenship.--Patricia Reed

Ummm.. Seriously?? She was born there! That is her country of birth! And unless she applied for citizenship in the US and there would be a record, she would be a Canadian and British subject and unless she filed to renounce her citizenship of which there is no record she remained a Canadian citizen and British subject until her death. Sorry, but you might want to read up on the legal aspects of what you are talking about!

She was born a Canadian citizen to an American mother and a British father. She never renounced her Canadian citizenship and she remained one until her death. In fact, her Canadian citizenship was her only citizenship for the first 26 years of her life. Daystrom (talk) 01:39, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

@ Patricia Reed, you wrote, "She never lived in Canada after the age of three, and one has to wonder if she ever even established Canadian citizenship."

Canada, like the United States, recognizes the principle of unrestricted jus soli, meaning 'right of soil', which means that _any_ child born in Canada is a de facto, Canadian citizen. There is no need to "establish" anything; Miss Wray became a Canadian citizen upon drawing her first breath. Daystrom (talk) 20:08, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Scream
Wray's scream: It has been disputed her screams were dubbed by someone else, and I noted this in the article. It is NOT a fact Julie Haydon dubbed Wray's screams, and there is considerable evidence Wray did them herself.--Susan Nunes
 * I read somewhere years ago that Faye Dunaway had done away with a faded Fay Wray. I thought that was a scream. It's taken me 16 years to write something really irrelevant. Sorry! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:01, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Alberta, Arizona?
The way this is written, it sounds like she lived in a town named Alberta in Arizona. Could someone please clarify this? If she lived in Alberta and Arizona and Salt Lake, perhaps it could be written as "Alberta, Canada; Arizona; and Salt Lake City, Utah". If she lived in a town in Arizona named Alberta, the link to the Alberta, Canada page should be taken out. --76.179.55.195 18:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Cultural references
Why was the entire "Cultural references" section deleted at 10:32 on 27 September 2009? -- Codrdan (talk) 16:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Rocky Horror
The Fray Wray article has a content error. The reference to Fay Wray in the Rocky Horror Picture Show song "I'm Coming Home" is an error. The Rocky Horror Picture Show has no such song title although it does have one titled "I'm Going Home".

Fay Wray is referenced by name in two Rocky Horror songs. At the start in "Science Fiction/Double Feature" and again near the end in "Don't Dream It" with the RKO radio tower as a backdrop.

This information can be referenced on Rockymusic.org. 66.19.243.113 13:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)TGeorge

Rose of Washington Square
Just thought I'd mention that she starred in this movie with Tyrone Power and it was a movie that showed off her talents more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.104.232.72 (talk) 13:47, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Final public appearance
Original text was: "Her final public appearance was at an after-party at Sardi's restaurant in New York City, following the premiere of the documentary film Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There.", with comment "IMDB does not count as a reliable source per WP:RS rules". Reference to after-party can only be found (in an on-line only search) at IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303797/mediaviewer/rm1382191872/ (in caption to Photo by Donna S. Aceto, 2004). So that reference was removed from the text. --Uxh (talk) 23:57, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
