Connection
Lizabeth Scott is a Actor American born on 29 september 1922 at Scranton (USA)
Lizabeth Virginia Scott (September 29, 1922 – January 31, 2015) was an American film actress, known for her "smoky voice" and "the most beautiful face of film noir during the 1940s and 1950s." After understudying the role of Sabina in the original Broadway and Boston stage productions of The Skin of Our Teeth, she emerged internationally in such films as The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946), Dead Reckoning (1947), Desert Fury (1947) and Too Late for Tears (1949). Of her 22 feature films, she was leading lady in all but one. In addition to stage and radio, she appeared on television from the late 1940s to early 1970s.
Très active dans les années 1940 et les années 1950, Lizabeth Scott s'est surtout illustrée dans le registre du film noir, dans le rôle type de la femme fatale. Elle a notamment joué aux côtés de Humphrey Bogart, Burt Lancaster, Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin et d'autres. Elle tient le rôle principal dans des films comme En marge de l'enquête (Dead Reckoning, 1947), Pitfall (1948), ou encore dans La Tigresse (Too Late for Tears) (1949).
Scott décide, pour un temps, de se tourner vers d'autres projets comme la comédie Fais-moi peur (Scared Stiff, 1953) avec le duo Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis mais aussi le film musical Amour frénétique (Loving you, 1957) avec en vedette Elvis Presley.
Néanmoins, sa carrière s'essouffle lorsque le film noir passe de mode.
Ironiquement, elle fait sa dernière apparition à l'écran dans une parodie de film noir intitulée Retraite mortelle (Pulp, 1972).
Politiquement, Lizabeth Scott s'est toujours engagée auprès des républicains conservateurs. Elle a d'ailleurs affiché publiquement son soutien pour Ronald Reagan à trois reprises tout au long de sa carrière politique.
Dans les années 1940, son image a servi pour des campagnes publicitaires pour la Royal Crown Cola.
Elle meurt en 2015 d'une insuffisance cardiaque.
