George Randolph Scott, generally known as Randolph Scott, was an American film actor whose career spanned the sound era from the late 1920s to the early 1960s. He reached the height of his popularity in the 1940s & 1950s, appearing in such films as Gung Ho! & Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm ; but he was especially famous for his numerous westerns including Virginia City, The Tall T & Ride the High Country. The Virginia -born actor had a wholesome image characterized by The Statler Brothers in the song Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?. There are many unsubstantiated rumors that he was the lover of his close friend & roommate Cary Grant. His high stature as a Western actor was spoofed in Mel Brooks 1974 comedy Blazing Saddles ; after a group of townspeople refuses a request, the sheriff replies, Youd do it for Randolph Scott. The people immediately take off their hats & whisper, Randolph Scott! A chorus singing Randolph Scott is then heard. Randolph Scott died at age 89 in Beverly Hills, California & is interred in the Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte, North Carolina.
