'Twas Beauty killed the Beast
Fay Wray, whom we'll always remember as the beautiful girl in the giant paw of King Kong, died today at the age of 96.
A lot of people don't realize that Ms. Wray had appeared in some 40 films before she became cinema's most famous damsel in distress in 1933, and made about 45 more after that — mostly cruddy B-movies. She also co-starred in a 1950s TV series entitled The Pride of the Family, in which she played the mother of a young Natalie Wood.
Too bad Ms. Wray didn't live long enough to attend the premiere of Peter Jackson's Kong remake. That would have been a photo op worth savoring.

Well, you quoted part of the famous line; why not all of it?
"'Twas not love, said he....

..... vanity" [?]
'Twas Beauty killed the Beast!"
Can't you fill in the blanks? If not, why should anyone access your blog?
