Vina Fay Wray (September 15, 1907 – August 8, 2004) was a Canadian-American actress, best known for her role in the 1933 film King Kong. She is considered by many to be the first "scream queen", that is the vulnerable heroine in a horror film, beginning with her appearance in the 1932 film Doctor X.

Wray was born on a ranch near Cardston, Alberta, Canada to Elvina Marguerite Jones, who was from Salt Lake City, and Joseph Heber Wray, who was from Kingston upon Hull, England. Her family returned to the United States a few years after she was born; they moved to Salt Lake City in 1912 and moved to Lark, Utah in 1914.

In 1919, they again moved to Salt Lake City, where Wray landed a role in a short historical movie sponsored by a local newspaper.
