Anyone, with even a passing interest in the golden age of Hollywood, will easily pick out the name Lizabeth Scott as a stage name. It just sounds too perfectly show biz. The truth is that in 1922, Scott entered this world as Emma Matzo in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Her father owned Matzo Market and young Emma attended Marywood Seminary for Catholic gi...
After appearing in some local theater productions, Lizabeth Scott had caught the acting bug. She soon became taken with a burning desire she’d do anything to achieve.Scott decided that she wanted to act on Broadway. Well, Broadway was, and still is, located in New York City. So how does a 17-year-old girl from Scranton get to the Big Apple? With a ...
Scott had a dream and her father, the grocery store owner, helped her achieve it. He set her up at the Ferguson Residence for Women—to make sure everything was on the up and up. While there, Emma Matzo read about Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I. She liked the two names, Scot and Elizabeth, and made them her own. She later dropped the “E” in an...
The comedy duo Olsen and Johnson were headlining in the zany musical revue Hellzapoppin, and they were also looking for a new actor to accompany them on the road. They hired Scott and she immediately left New York City to tour 63 cities over 18 months. But how was singing, dancing, and making corny jokes going to get Scott to Broadway? In short, it...
After playing second fiddle to a couple of almost-literal clowns, Scott was ready for her first starring role. It came in 1942, when the tour ended and she returned to New York. It was an off-Broadway show called Rain. Now that Scott was a serious actor, she was ready to hear what the critics thought of her—but there was just one problem. Getty Ima...
Not one single critic attended any of Scott’s performances of Rain—or at least none of them wrote a review about it. Maybe it was just that bad. Scott was still so far from achieving her dream of acting on Broadway. But don’t worry, there was someone else in the audience that was even better than a critic. Wikimedia Commons
Broadway producer Michael Myerberg did see Scott’s performance in Rain, and she must have impressed him. He wanted to hire her as an understudy for megastar performer Tallulah Bankhead in the Broadway play The Skin of Our Teeth. This was a big deal, as it got Scott at list in the vicinity of her dream. Unfortunately, there was something underhanded...
Myerberg was having a difficult time with the temperamental Bankhead. She often refused to show up for rehearsal, which made life difficult for Myerberg, the other actors, and the crew. So, Myerberg had an idea: hire Scott as an understudy for the role of Sabina and threaten to replace Bankhead when she didn’t show up for rehearsal. Yup, he was jus...
Lizabeth Scott still thought that she was getting her big break—but she was so, so wrong.Bankhead was a pro at being difficult, so she had a very important clause written into her contract: the producer could not hire an understudy for her role. When Myerberg hired Scott as an understudy, he was breaching Bankhead’s contract. The hot-tempered Bankh...
Bankhead was nothing but rude to Scott during the run of The Skin Of Our Teeth. Bankhead didn’t talk to Scott—she simply barked—and that was only when she was telling Scott what to do. Scott, who was new to working on Broadway, must have been more than a little frightened of her domineering co-star—or so you’d think. She had only a Vaudeville tour ...

Feb 7, 2015 · Feb. 6, 2015. Lizabeth Scott, a sultry blonde with a come-hither voice cut out for the seething romantic and homicidal passions of her Hollywood film noir roles in the late 1940s and early ’50s ...
Though Lizabeth Scott began as a comedian on stage ( Hellzapoppin, The Skin of Our Teeth ), her film career is associated with film noir by film historians and public alike. Of the 22 feature films she starred in, 15 of them are noir-themed. Scott appeared in traditional black-and-white noirs, as well as noir variants, which include Western ...
