Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

George C. Scott (1927-1999) was an American film and stage actor. He was best known for his roles in movies such as Gen. Buck Turgidson in Dr. Strangelove and as George S. Patton in Patton, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor, but famously refused to accept the award because he disliked competition against other actors.

Other notable film appearances include Anatomy of a Murder, The Hustler, The Hospital, The Day Of The Dolphin, Hard Core, The Changeling, Firestarter, The Exorcist III and The Rescuers Down Under.

He was married five times including to Colleen Dewhurst (1960-1965, 1967-1972) and Trish Van Devere (1972-1999). On September 22, 1999, Scott died of an aortic aneurysm at the age of 71.
