Born Emma Matzo in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 1922, gorgeous actress Lizabeth Scott made her way to New York at an early age. She
worked as a model while attending acting school, and by the time she was 20 years old, Scott was an understudy to Tallulah Bankhead. She was
spotted by producer Hal B. Wallis, who put her under contract in the mid 1940s. Wallis had just left Warner Bros. and signed a deal with
Paramount. Therefore, most of Scott's films were released by Paramount. She would remain under contract to Wallis until 1957, when she walked
away from show business.
Paramount's publicity machine dubbed Scott "The Threat" in order to create an on-screen persona for the beautiful actress. Scott's smoky sensuality
lent itself to the film noir genre, and beginning with The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946; with Barbara Stanwyck), Paramount cast her in a
string of thrillers. Due to a slight resemblance and similar voices, initially Scott was compared to Lauren Bacall, and even more so after Scott starred
with Bacall's husband, Humphrey Bogart, in the noir thriller Dead Reckoning (1947). But Scott proved to be unlike any of her contemporaries, turning
in one solid performance after another.
