Her sultry voice and smoky allure made her a notable figure in Hollywood. 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. Her portrayal of complex, femme fatale characters left a lasting impact. In addition to stage and radio, she appeared on television from the late 1940s to early 1970s. Despite a relatively brief filmography, her talent and contribution to the noir genre solidified her as an iconic figure in cinematic history. Scott's legacy endures through her timeless performances, forever etched in the annals of classic Hollywood.

The Company She Keeps

She accepts a cigarette and lights it from another prisoner's butt with inhale/exhale.

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers

smokingsides
Surprisingly engaging little low-budget film noir, but the smoking is kind of a bust, especially for the era and genre, where there's a box of cigs on a table in every room and people tend to go for them as casually as they would a dish of peanuts. Obligatory femme fatale Lizabeth holds briefly in an early scene, then toward the end she has one very good lightup with a lusty, thick exhale, unfortunately filmed from across a big room. That's all there is.

Two of a Kind
