not Faye Dunaway.

It wasn't
Faye Emerson, either.

Heck, it wasn't even
Alice Faye.

No, friends, as our dearest
MC guessed
right out of the box, it was the erstwhile
Fay Wray - who survived not only the namesake simian of
King Kong (1933), but a similarly nostril-flaring, chest-beating Joan Crawford in
Queen Bee (1955).

As soon as MC sends us his measurements, we'll start cracking on his award: a pair of custom-made, printed silk hose. Everyone's guesses were fabulous, with special bonus points going to
joe*to*hell and
Jason for their cheekiness. Thanks for playing, darlings!
