Randolph Scott Quotes

Randolph Scott — American Actor born on January 23, 1898, died on March 02, 1987

George Randolph Scott was an American film actor whose career spanned from 1928 to 1962. As a leading man for all but the first three years of his cinematic career, Scott appeared in a variety of genres, including social dramas, crime dramas, comedies, musicals, adventure tales, war films, and a few horror and fantasy films. However, his most enduring image is that of the tall-in-the-saddle Western hero. Out of his more than 100 film appearances over 60 were in Westerns; thus, "of all the major stars whose name was associated with the Western, Scott most closely identified with it.".. (wikipedia)

Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.
