The Morning News has "
Rick James Meets Fay Wray in Heaven (A Very Short Play)," by John Moe.
FAY: [with a degree of resignation] King Kong. I played Ann Darrow, the blonde ingénue. The ape falls in love with me.
RICK: Right! And he carries you up to the top of the Empire State Building and he’s swatting at the planes and you’re screaming.
FAY: Yes.
RICK: That was great! That must have been really something to be a part of.
FAY: It wasn’t a real ape. It was special effects.
RICK: Well, yeah, I know. I know that.
[A year passes.]
FAY: But yes, it was wonderful. That film changed my life. It changed history.
RICK: OK.
FAY: And what was your song? “Superman”?
RICK: Freak. “Super Freak.”
FAY: Like circuses? Freaks?
