Lizabeth Scott (born September 29, 1922) is an American actress who achieved some success in films, particularly in the genre of film noir. She was born Emma Matzo in the Pine Brook Section of Scranton, Pennsylvania, the daughter of John and Mary Matzo, Roman Catholic immigrants from Slovakia. She attended Central High School and Marywood College. She later went to New York City and attended the Alvienne School of Drama. In late 1942, she was eking out a precarious living with a small Midtown Manhattan summer stock company when she got a job as understudy for Tallulah Bankhead in Thornton Wilder's play The Skin of Our Teeth. However, Scott never had an opportunity to substitute for Bankhead. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Lizabeth+Scott">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
