Ray Harryhausen RIIP; King Kong's House and Fay Wray !!!

The Death of 2013 site lists the following under May 7:
Ray Harryhausen, 92, American stop-motion animator (Jason and the ArgonautsClash of the Titans).
The first syllable in his surname being "Harry" was meaningful since the name had cropped up three days ago in my May 5 post titled: Cesar RIIP, Roy RIIP, and Royal Red Hair's, as per a "Harry/Hair/Heir/Hare" pattern-cluster,  so I consider this a potential lead.  His surname though, was originally spelled Herrenhausen, which "herren" being German for "gentlemen".

AND, there's more.  The second syllable, "hausen", which is house in German, note the etymology:
 house (n.) Old English hus "dwelling, shelter, house," from Proto-Germanic *husan
If you read my recent May 6th post: Greg Quill (66) RIIP, and Quintilis Quintilis (5/5), you'll discover that it's mainly about a house, so as you can see, we have a "House" pattern-cluster cropping up.  This is not the first time that the word/name "house" has cropped up in clusters.  Shortly into reading Ray Harryhausen's wiki page I noted the following: 
He had been married to Diana Livingstone Bruce since 1963.
It was the name "Livingstone" that grabbed my attention.  Note this excerpt from my April 26 post entitled, Associate Chief Justice Deborah K. Smith in the Black:
What else do you do on Earth Day (April 22nd)-- go to the hospital and have an emergency appendectomy!! The two doctors involved-- Dr. Livingstone and Dr. Topp... gotta love their names... could've been Dr. Gravestone and Dr. Bottomm ;-) (-; 
On reading more from his wiki page I noted the following:
In 2009, he released colorized DVD versions of three of his classic black and white Columbia films (20 Million Miles to EarthEarth vs. the Flying Saucers, and It Came from Beneath the Sea) and of She, in tribute to its producer Merian C. Cooper (who had also done King Kong). 
It was the mention of "She" that grabbed my attention, since many of my recent posts seem to be following a "feminine" theme of sorts.  The movie She, had to do with a dark queen, in fact queen "She" was the inspiration for the evil queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.  The other film produced by Merian Cooper as mentioned in the above excerpt, King Kong, has that little "ding dong" alliteration ring to it... and then there's the name of the actress opposite King Kong, Fay Wray!!

Since Merian Cooper factors in, I decided to click on the link to his wiki page, note this excerpt:
Merian Caldwell Cooper (October 24, 1893 – April 21, 1973) 
According to the info page on April 21st, his day of death, he died on the 111st day of the year:
April 21 is the 111th day of the year (112th in leap years)
And the on the other end of the 111th day spectrum, we have:
September 11 is the 254th day of the year (255th in leap years). There are 111 days remaining until the end of the year.  
I don't know if this is a good thing or nott?!  I like to be optimistic tho... perhaps this is the inner twin worlds way of saying that the tides are going to be reversed... from bad to good.
