	Actor George C. Scott Dead at 71
		Scott said later that he did not think he'd ever again be nominated and regretted only that "I wasn't able to shock the academy into doing something constructive" about what he viewed as a meaningless popularity contest.
		Scott was born in Wise, Va., a coal town, on Oct. 18, 1927, but grew up in Detroit.
		On stage, when at age 68 Scott rose from a sickbed to star in the 1996 Broadway revival of "Inherit the Wind," one critic said it was like watching a horse buggy powered by a Ferrari engine.

		Scott died in September, at the age of 71, leaving behind a legacy of film, theater and television performances that, like the man himself, were notable for their candor and primordial intensity.
		Scott’s appearance on a stage or screen was always a moment of impact.
		And at the center of it all was Scott, rasping out Patton& words with the granite resolve that was his trademark—an actor in costume delivering the performance of his life in a film he was miserable making.

	Biography for George C. Scott
		George C. Scott was an immensely talented actor, a star of screen, stage and television who was born in Virginia in 1927.
		Scott kept up in films, TV and on stage in the later years of his life (Broadway dimmed its lights for one minute on the night of his death).
		Although Scott refused the Oscar he won for Patton (1970), he accepted the Emmy he won for his performance in the television version of Arthur Miller's The Price (1971) (TV), saying that he felt that the Emmy Awards were a more honest appreciation of an actor's work.

	Salon Arts & Entertainment Piper Laurie remembers the smoldering genius of George C. Scott
		When we first see George C. Scott in "The Hustler," he says three words: "Cash me in." A gambler has interrupted his poker game to tell him that the pool player he backs, Minnesota Fats, is getting walloped down at the pool hall.
		My own visceral impression of Scott is as the commanding yet troubling urban presence in films ranging from "Anatomy of a Murder" to Richard Lester's "Petulia," where he was touching as a divorced surgeon in love with a married "kook" (Julie Christie).
		Indeed, Scott's Buck Turgidson was in such all-out crackpot love with the perks and the prowess of the military that the impending end of the world didn't faze him.

		Scott virtually dared the Academy not to give him the Oscar that year, publicly decrying the competition prior to the ceremony by saying actors shouldn't be pitted against each other.

	THE COLD SPOT \ Movies \ A Christmas Carol (1984, George C. Scott)
		George C. Scott is an excellent Ebenezer Scrooge, with the possible exception of Patrick Stewart, Scott's the best I've seen yet; instead of being a bitter old miser who takes pleasure from nothing, Scott portrays the old man as being nearly emotionless, worn down from a lifetime of being ignored and left behind.
		George C. Scott's interpretation of the character of Scrooge was the best I've seen.
		The other actors feed off Scott's execution, lending fire to the production (especially Edward Woodward, who turns in a fantastically fierce performance as the Ghost of Christmas Present, which is often a thankless role).

	A Tribute to George C. Scott
		I liked George Campbell Scott from the first time I saw him perform on screen, which I'm pretty sure was in The Hustler in 1961, then later on TV in the wonderful but short-lived East Side, West Side.
		Though George C. Scott's death in September 1999 came as a shock, what was probably more shocking for people who knew him is that the hard-drinking, tough-talking, thoroughly independent actor made it to almost 72 years of age in the first place!
		While he hadn't made any theatrical films since 1995's forgettable Angus, with three TV films in 1999, one got the feeling that Scott was in the midst of a comeback of sorts (though he never really left).

		George C. Scott's early years may have prepared him for Patton more than anything he ever learned about acting.
		Scott also was recognized by the Academy with nominations in 1959 for Best Supporting Actor (Anatomy of a Murder); 1961 for Best Supporting Actor (The Hustler); and 1971 Best Actor (The Hospital).
