Lizabeth Scott Facts
According to Diana McClellan's book on Sappho Hollywood, "The Girls," Scott was shunned late in the studio era for her sexual orientation. It was seen as an obscenity for Scott to be associated with lesbians as well as lesbian night clubs and dives in Los Angeles.

In Italy, Rina Morelli was her official voice, but she was also dubbed by Andreina Pagnani, Tina Lattanzi and Dhia Cristiani in I Walk Alone (1948), Dark City (1950) and Scared Stiff (1953) respectively.
