Bernard Benny Ray (born Benjamin Shamrayevsky, November 18, 1895 - December 10, 1964) was a Russian-born American film producer and director. [2] He is closely associated with the production of low-budget B films of Poverty Row, involved with companies such as Reliable Pictures during the 1930s.
In some film credits, like Rio Rattler (1935), he has used the pseudonym "Franklin Shamray".
On December 10, 1964, after what appears to have been a long illness, [3] Ray died of undisclosed causes at the Motion Picture Country Home Hospital. [4] He was preceded in death by his wife Georgia Mae Tallant, to whom he was married between 1927 and 1958. [5]
Veteran producer-director Bernard B. Ray checked into Mt. Sinai Hospital yesterday for exploratory surgery this morning.
James Gleason will star in 'Hollywood Stunt Man,' feature film being produced by Bernard B. Ray, which goes before the cameras next week with a cast of real live stunt men and women. The picture will incorporate footage of some of the most dangerous stunts done by film dare-devils since 'The Perils of Pauline.'
Producer Bernard B. Ray has changed the title of his 'Hollywood Stunt Man' to 'Hollywood Thrill Makers' due to a conflict with a Columbia Screen Gems telefilm release.
