Film noir star Lizabeth Scott dead at 92
Source: FOX News
Lizabeth Scott, whose long tawny hair, alluring face and low seductive voice made her an ideal film noir star in the 1940s and '50s, has died in Los Angeles. She was 92.
Scott died Jan. 31 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Her longtime friend Mary Goodstein told the newspaper the cause was congestive heart failure.
Film noir, with its hard-bitten Cold War cynicism, captured the imaginations of large numbers of movie fans in the United States, as well as in France where the name originated, in the years immediately following World War II.
Like Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake, both of whom she resembled, Scott proved a perfect fit for the genre, easily able to play the case-hardened siren who snared and sometimes betrayed the anti-hero male star.

I didn't like how they turned her into Lauren Bacall/Veronica Lake knockoff -- they should have let her be herself.
