Elizabeth Ray: Famous for saying: “I can’t type. I can’t file. I can’t even answer the phone.”
The charge against Representative Wayne Hays was that of keeping a woman on the US government payroll who did nothing more than provide sex (as if there are not plenty of women who either are, or want to be, in that position.)
ELIZABETH RAY: The secretary who didn't know how to type or, as she put it, “even answer the phone,” is a part-time comedienne. Ray, Miss Virginia 1975, earned her celebrity the next year when it was reported that Ohio Rep. Wayne Hays kept Ray on his payroll and on a mattress in his back office. Ray wrote “Washington Fringe Benefits” posed for Playboy several times and tried acting. Reviewers say her comedy act is as good as her typing.
