LONDON.- On the day of Ray Harryhausen’s
90th
birthday, at the official opening of the exhibition “Ray Harryhausen –
Myths and
Legends” at the London Film Museum, the Ray and Diana Harryhausen
Foundation has
announced its intention to deposit the Collection of the life’s work of
celebrated special effects animator Ray Harryhausen at the National
