Mini bio

  • Elizabeth Ray was born as Betty Lou Ray on May 14, 1943 in Marshall, North Carolina. She won the title of Miss Virgina 1975 in a beauty contest. The attractive voluptuous blonde had brief stints as a stewardess, waitress and car rental clerk prior to working as a secretary on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC for powerful US Representative Wayne Hays in 1972. Ray openly admitted that she couldn't type, file a report, or even answer the phone. Instead she was specifically hired by Hays to perform sexual favors for him. When the news broke about this sordid affair, the resultant much publicized scandal forced Hays to resign from political office on September 1, 1976. Ray quickly capitalized on her newfound notoriety by posing for nude pictorials in the popular men's magazines "Playboy" and "Hustler" and writing the tell-all expose book "The Washington Fringe Bandit." After making unsuccessful attempts at being an actress and stand-up comedienne, Elizabeth Ray faded back into obscurity.
