This remarkable bra costs “only” 2 million bucks. It’s no surprise that honor of wearing it has no one else than one of the most beautiful girls in the world, Adriana Lima. If anyone wants to impress his future wife, than this is a present for that. Maybe the price is a little bigger, but for true love… :D
During this heyday time, Fay was approached to star opposite the already notorious Erich Von Stroheim, actor-director extraordinaire, in his latest production, “The Wedding March” (1928). Fay met with Erich and was completely bowled over by his brilliance. She convinced him she should play the part. To do this role, Fay had to get out of her Universal contract, and move over to Selig studios. It was there that a whole new world of filmmaking opened up to her. There she learned about the difference between easily packageable entertainment, and art.
During the meticulous shoot, Fay really fell for Erich, but couldn’t deal with his advances once she told him how she felt. After all, she was only 18. In any case, the shoot went on a long while, and Selig halted production once six hours of film were shot. Both film and Fay were “sold” to Paramount, where a shorter version of the film was released, to instant acclaim. Both “The Wedding March” and the sequel, “The Honeymoon” (1928) became (silent) masterpieces.
While she was in New York, which still had a thriving movie scene, Fay met a lot of intriguing people, including producer Merian Cooper. He loved Fay right off, and begged her to star in his next movie. Fay was hoping that the hero, who Merian described as “tall, dark and handsome” would be Cary Grant.
Of course, it wasn’t. It was King Kong, an animatronic ape. Fay wasn’t exactly thrilled about the concept for the movie, but she wanted to do it as a favour to Merian, and agreed to test scenes in front of a rear projection screen that would make the ape look much larger than Fay. These scenes wound up in the final version of the film. The final version also has Fay doing a lot of screaming – and not all of it was acting, as the six-foot model ape she had to sit in had moveable fingers!
