Lizabeth Scott: Gladys George
built 640 days ago
When Miriam Hopkins was signed to replace Bankhead, Scott quit and returned to her drama studies and some fashion modeling. She then received a call that Gladys George, who was signed to replace Hopkins, was ill, and Scott was needed back at the theatre. She then went on in the leading role of "Sabina", receiving a nod of approval from critics at the tender age of 20. The following night, George was out again and Scott went on in her place.

By the end of 1949 Scott appeared in nine films, but hadn't achieved the level of stardom and clout that was needed in the studio system to influence the direction of her own career. From 1950 on she was never given an opportunity to reach much beyond her usual good girl done wrong or femme fatale roles she had become known for. She continued to make films for Paramount (Dark City (1950; dir: William Dieterle), Red mountain (1951; dir: William Dieterle), and Scared Stiff (1953; dir: George Marshall)) and Columbia (Two of a Kind (1951; dir: Henry Levin) and Bad for Each Other (1953; dir: Irving Rapper)), none of which are particularly compelling. Perhaps the best of these is The Racket (1951; dir: Lewis Milestone), but Scott's role is minor one, unworthy of her talents.

The following night, George was out again and Scott went on in her place. Soon afterward, Scott was at the Stork Club when motion picture producer Hal Wallis asked who she was, unaware that an aide had already arranged an interview with her for the following day.
