Fay Wray, at exactly 5ft 3 (160 cm), was a petite Canadian-American actress whose small stature defined her iconic image as the scream queen of 1930s Hollywood. Best remembered as Ann Darrow in the 1933 classic King Kong, her diminutive height created a dramatic contrast with the towering ape, amplifying the film's thrilling spectacle.
Standing 5ft 3, Wray's delicate frame suited her roles in horror thrillers like The Vampire Bat and Doctor X, where her vulnerability heightened the tension and cemented her legacy in early cinema.
