In 1962 he moved to Southern California to study at the Department of Cinematography at UCLA, where he first met fellow student and future partner Jim Morrison, along with Dorothy Fujikawa. He soon asked her out. Dorothy became his star and muse. Ray once said:
“I met Dorothy Fujikawa in an art class. I thought she was so interesting I married her. We’re still married.”
In 1965 they were living together.
“There would be no Doors if it wasn’t for Dorothy Fujikawa,” he has said many times over the years. “She was the one who supported Jim and me as we put the band together.”
