Wray died in her sleep at her Manhattan apartment. Her last public appearance was last year at the New York City premiere of �Broadway: The Golden Age�, a documentary directed by her friend Rick McKay that she also appeared in.
Wray was a leading lady during what many consider the golden age of cinema. She appeared in close to 80 films during her long career that began in 1923, but her big break came in 1928 with a role in the Erich von Stroheim's hit epic "The Wedding March."
During her career she appeared along side legendary leading men like Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy and Claude Rains. But she was forever linked to her role as the damsel in distress from �King Kong� (1933).
Tuesday evening, another star of �King Kong� paid tribute to Wray when the Empire State Building dimmed its lights for 15 minutes in honor of the actress. It seems fitting since Wray paid tribute to the building in her autobiography. She wrote, "Each time I arrive in New York and see the skyline and the exquisite beauty of the Empire State Building, my heart beats a little faster. I like that feeling. I really like it!" .
