Ray Mala (1906-1952) was born in Nothern Alaska and passed away on a set in Hollywood. Mala is the First Native American Movie Star and is the most prolific film star that the State of Alaska has thus far produced. He starred in MGM's Academy Award winning "Eskimo/Mala The Magnificent" produced by the legendary Irving Thalberg and directed by Woody Van Dyke. "Eskimo" won the First Oscar ever for Best Film Editing at the Academy Awards in 1935. The film premiered to much fanfare at the famed Astor Theatre in Times Square, New York in 1934. "Eskimo" was billed as "The Biggest Picture Ever Made" by MGM. Mala went on to star in a number of Hollywood films including "The Jungle Princess" which launched Dorothy Lamour's career (she went on to co-star with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in the wildly popular "Road To...." movies). According to the book "The Paramount Story", "The Jungle Princess" was a huge success and was a whopping money maker for the studio.
