Merian C. Cooper Facts
His brilliant creation, King Kong in King Kong (1933), is ranked #30 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.

Being the producer of King Kong (1933), he personally removed a scene in which four sailors, after Kong shook them off a log bridge, fall into a ravine and are eaten alive by giant spiders because, when previewed in January 1933, audience members either fled the theater in terror or talked about the ghastly scene during the entire movie.
