Discuss King Kong

Is Lange's character really named Dwan? I've seen it a couple times but not for years, so can't remember, but Dwan...?

Yeah that's it. I think she mentions in the movie that her original name was supposed to be Dawn but her parents switched it up for some reason. It's been a while since I've seen it myself so maybe someone else can confirm that. I will say however that Jessica was an absolute beauty in this, probably my favorite of the Kong films.

I haven't seen the new Kong film but the 1976 version is my favorite so far. The music score is beautiful. Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges are gorgeous too!

She said she changed her name to Dwan to have a more memorable name to help her become a popular actress.

I haven't seen this movie since I was a child and I saw it in a theater, but the name Dwan is the one (and only) thing I remember about it.

I liked the part when she told the crew (as she was waking up) that she owed her life to Deep Throat --- she wouldn't watch a dirty movie and was up on deck when the explosion occurred!
