George C. Scott Quotes:

Mordecai Jones: Son, you'd be amazed at the hundreds of satisfied students I've matriculated over the last 50 years!


Bert Gordon: [Viciously to Sarah] You're here on a rain check, and I know it! You're hanging on by your nails. Let that glory whistle ring out loud and clear, and you're a wreck on a railroad track! You're a horse that finished last! Now, don't make trouble, Miss Lady Bug! Live and let live while you can!


Bert Gordon: [to Eddie] You owe me MONEY.

George C. Scott Facts
Biography in: "American National Biography". Supplement 1, pp. 550-551. New York: Oxford University Press, 2002.

His performance as Gen. George S. Patton in Patton (1970) is ranked #82 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time (2006).

He accepted the role of Sheriff Gillespie in In the Heat of the Night (1967), according to producer Walter Mirisch's memoir "I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History." Scott backed out when wife Colleen Dewhurst wanted him to direct her in a play on Broadway. Mirisch then offered the role to Rod Steiger, who accepted and won an Oscar. Steiger later turned down the lead in Patton (1970) that went to Scott, which brought him an Oscar.
