Elizabeth Scott

Elizabeth Louise Scott was born on November 17 1915 at St Marylebone, London, the eldest child of Dr. Sebastian Scott, a radiologist. After attending Upper Chine School on the Isle of Wight, Scott won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She embarked upon a brief but successful career on the stage and screen. A blonde sultry beauty, she resembled Veronica Lake (1922-1973), Lana Turner (1921-1995) and the similarly named Lizabeth Scott (born 1922). The British actress is sometimes confused with Elizabeth Jean Scott (1906-2001), the mother of director Ridley Scott, as well as Lizabeth Scott.
