She aged fascinating well and has a bubbly personality . Just makes me happy seeing someone who's experienced being around MJ and honestly I can tell she enjoyed him .
When I was a little girl I wanted to be her so bad. I use to act out her part. She was beautiful and MJ's girlfriend. Now after all these years she is still very beautiful. She's the Thriller Queen!
It was my biggest dream to meet Michael Jackson! You were definitely the luckiest girl in the world to have shared these beautiful memories with Michael Jackson and to have been included in the iconic Thriller movie...I'm still as jealous as ever of you...lol! I'LL LOVE THAT MAN ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!! Ola Ray, I must say that you have aged very nicely! =)
I am black but in this case it's not our skin color. It's the work that she had done that most of them in Hollywood do when they start aging. If you look at a video of her from a few years back she looks way older. Between professional Hollywood makeup and work done, I would never associate good looks of someone in Hollywood to their own devices
Cobra SS You have to remember back when they filmed this everyone looked darker on camera. Especially Black people, the lighting and makeup didn't flatter our skin at all.
Not gonna lie I started tearing up when she said all she remembered was Michael pulling her off the couch and putting his arm around her in the video 😪
missctolbertvoh I know you will look amazing when you get older don't worry :) And I actually think she looks almost even better today than back in the day.
Ola is such a sweetie pie. Loved the "react" video especially. You can tell there was a lot of fondness between them. Almost makes you wish they'd become a real couple.
+Patty Star No he really like white girls He was just broken up with Tatum O'Neal then Brooke Shields in the Thriller years then Madonna during Dangerous years 1990-92 then Lisa Marie Presley during history yeara of 1994-97 and married Debbie Rowe for two years 1998-2000
She looks many days older than 35. If she were 35 she'd be the oldest looking 35 year old on the planet. Listen: if you want to say she looks good, fine. If you want to say she looks good for her age, fine, but saying stupid shit like "she doesn't look a day over 35" is a damn lie.
Ola in the video was so adorable and lovely. You could tell that she was just out of this world with Michael around her and touching her. They were both meant to be in the video. It's so hearty to see Ola live to tell her memories about Thriller. One of the best music videos ever, together with Smooth criminal
Here’s a kicker I wish I would have met Michael Jackson I never did but my mother met him and all his brothers when they were nobodies just touring she met him as a little boy at a skating rink in Kankakee,Illinois when she was a teenager I think she said that his brother Jermaine kept giving her the eye cause my mama was fine back in her day
I met him personally & privately many yrs ago & will never forget it. I often look at the pic of him & I. He’s the greatest entertainer ever to me. So humble, loving & FULL of incredible talent. 🙏🏼❤️🎵👼
@@teesev6231 I’m not lying & have no reason to lie. I have a pic of that day too. It was at The Hotel Royal Plaza in Walt Disney World Village. I met him privately on his floor there along with Bill Bray his bodyguard, his chef, secretary & manager at the time. It was back when he was filming Captain Eo at Walt Disney World. He stayed at the Royal Plaza often there.
I have never met him, but I could tell that he had the most beautiful soul! It was my biggest dream to meet Michael Jackson! I used to sit in class when I was a little girl and daydream of him coming to my school in a limousine to pick me up from school...lol! And Ola Ray has aged very nicely!
She's so funny and friendly and just so likeable!!!!! And no, i refuse to believe she's 60. Not when I look at my own wrinkles at the age of 25 ......no, she's not 60!!!! She's still 26 like in the mv! And also, Liam-best interviewer ever!!!!!
That's what I wondered. I thought it was on a studio backlot but that doesn't appear to be the case. You would think the neighbors would complain about living next door to a crumbling house but if it's a landmark..?? then maybe not.
This is such an incredible piece of content regarding the greatest artist to have ever walked this planet… Ola is STILL devastatingly gorgeous! Love her hair & vibes ❤️
She's so beautiful and about to be 60 and I wouldn't even guess her to be that old! She looks in her early to mid 40s if that. Love MJ too the media gave him a bad rep, I don't believe he would've done anything that they accused him of. He's so genuine and missed.
Thank you GOD for giving us Michael Jackson! He was the best thing we've ever seen in our lifetime! (I mean those born in the 70ds)😉 God has given us the chance to see an exceptional prodigy! A great humanitarian, a beautiful child like man that was actually here to help people! He made another genius (Prince) lock himself in a room for 3days and not speak to ANYONE! His death caused 12 people to commit suicide! Think about it you guys WHO kills themselves after a person dies? Michael Jackson was an angel🌹
She was definitely and still is wildly in love with MJ, he was such a fascinating man the impression he left on people you can’t fake he was a REAL ONE!!!!!!
Love historic MJ everything. She keeps herself so pretty, memories still fresh, wonderful stories 💖 I was lucky that MJ let me work on his blue 1965 RR Phantom 1994 with Howard Becker on La Cienega Blvd. Michael Jackson was the most kindest person, a huge heart ❤️ so humble, massive talent. The best part of my whole life
im 56 now ,back then we got the kids to bed .then all excited for the thriller video to come on tv.it was amazing to watch,and still is.although those four kids are grown,30-40 now.my 16 yr old grew up loving mj.for her 13th we took her to watch thriller at the theater.we loved every min.god bless michael
FINALLY! I always wondered how such an iconic person as the lover in the Thriller video could just be MIA most of her life after people STILL watch that video every single year. Idk what she's been up to, but she definitely seems like someone who loves life and gives positive vibes, hence her youthfulness! I can't imagine how the feels are going knowing MJ can't be there with her again :(
She's on welfare she wasn't paid the money she had been owed by MJs Estate from the distribution of Thriller which Michael promised she'd received in a contract. She's currently looking for work.
Ola, you are THE QUEEN, woman! 34 years later and you've aged probably only six months!! Amazing. Still as exquisitely beautiful as the day you shot the video. Stay gorgeous!
Maegan Whipple Cool 😎. That was life in the 80s :) Though I was a kid about 6 or 7 I remember it well. And the ones who had VCRs rented it on tape, you are right it was a great time to be alive:)

Wow! she is an iconic artist/person/celebrity with a fabulous personality. She deserves more attention i guess? I mean where has she been lately? I dont see her play any roles on movies or shows has she? Well with that been said, God bless her while she's here with us...🙏🙏🤩😍🇲🇽🇺🇸👌
Michael was much too CLASSY and ICONIC to 'mess around' with his video girls! Nah, he just didn't do that type of thing. He kept things 'purely professional' with the women who he worked with, just like a REAL GENTLEMAN.
She speaks so sweet about MJ but she sued him in 2009, just 2 months before his death. MJ was so good for her and after years when he was broke, depressed and disappointed with people she reminded about some money which supposedly she didn't get. This is really funny how hypocritical some people can be.
I feel bad, have been feeling bad for 3 days now .. I didnt feel this bad when Micheal died, because I never researched endless videos & history et cetc etc .... Im just speechless. He was a wholesome,Great person & a great entertainer at the very least.
OMG I could she the sadness in her eyes and as a strong woman she was very good at holding her tears in especially in the last part. Rest in peace MJ 🥺💖
What a wonderful moment in Ms. Ray's life......it's neat that MJ gave the role to someone he sensed was sweet and real aside from being beautiful when he could have insisted on a known star......Ms. Ray was adorable in the video and I'm happy for her having that unique experience!
The videoclip of Thriller will remain one of the best clips of a song ever made, even if it scared me when I was little, particularly the scene where she run in the old house to save herself by the zombies 😂
OMG!!!! She is STILL HOT as a FIRECRACKER!!!! They MADE HISTORY!!! She was the hottest chick in the game when he picked her!! WOW!!! I can't believe I'm seeing her and they are talking about the Thriller video!! The video was ICONIC, and they raise the bar for videos to be made after that. I saw the other video(but comments were disabled) and they were talking about the video. Thankyou for catching up with Ola, and talking about this historic video!!
I don't think that most people realize it or not but most older women are a lot more attractive than some younger women these days because the older woman gets more rest and not partying ,running around and letting men run through them ..this is a real fact.!
Michael Jackson's most successful album Thriller is atleast 3 and a half decades old.Sadly King Of Pops will be missed by over millions of fans world wide.........but fortunately his co-star for the Thriller track Ola Ray is alive to share with us the entire mementos behind the song & its shooting. The song must have spooked Ola in her dreams that it is completely pale now.
I had hear that she had died years ago. Of course I’m SOO happy to see that’s not true!! She is still absolutely beautiful!! I’m so glad you made this video. Thank you. I need to buy her book ASAP.
After 30 something yrs., and she looks fabulous. Thriller was one of my ALL time favorite vids. As she said, the dancing was spot -on, very professional. Makeup & custome, and these guys were bringing it! Awesome. Ola, love the jewelry!
