Lizabeth Scott, Sultry Film Noir Siren, R.I.P.

Lizabeth Scott, a sultry blonde who had a come-hither voice cut out for seething romantic and homicidal passions in her Hollywood motion-picture film noir roles in the late 1940s and early 1950s, passed away last Saturday (January 31) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles at age 92.

Billed as another Lauren Bacall or Veronica Lake, Miss Scott, in many of her 22 films, portrayed a good-bad girl in love in her head and larceny in her heart.

Amongst Lizabeth's co-stars were Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, and other such tough customers.

Amongst her films were "The Strange Loves of Martha Ivers," "Dead Reckoning," "Too Late For Tears," "Pitfall," "Dark City," "I Walk Alone," and "Bad For Each Other."

She also co-starred with Elvis Presley in "Loving You," made in 1957.
