    On October 18, 1927, George Campbell Scott made a dramatic entrance into the world. His mother, Helena, who was an amateur poet, gave birth to him on the family’s kitchen table in Wise, Virginia.

After graduating from high school, life too...

He would later claim that acting “clicked, just like tumblers in a safe". Scott’s burgeoning love for acting eventually overshadowed his first love, writing. It wasn’t long before he reached a c...

    George realized he had a change of heart. He enjoyed acting more than writing, so he dropped out of school to pursue an acting career in 1950. He would later graduate with degrees in English and theater. Scott spent several years as a journeyman actor in stock theater productions. He also worked in construction in between acting gigs to support him...

Because of his drinking, Scott frequently got into public fights. It also led to the failure of his first marriage to Carolyn Hughes. But it wasn’t just his personal life ...
