Historical NoteReturn to Top

Adrian Scott (1911-1972) was a screenwriter and motion picture producer with MGM and RKO from 1930-1947. In 1947 he was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, where he refused to answer the Committee's question if he was a member of the Communist Party. Scott was jailed for one year for Contempt of Congress and also fired by RKO. He was blacklisted as a member of the "Hollywood Ten," movie directors and writers who refused to testify.

In 1957, Scott went to London to be a film consultant for British film producer J. Arthur Rank and later became a producer in London for MGM. He returned to the United States in 1968 and wrote and produced for film and television. Among the films that he wrote or produced were "The Parson of Panamint" (1941), "Murder My Sweet" (1944), "Cornered" (1949), "So Well Remembered" (1947), "Deadline at Dawn" (1945), and "My Pal Wolf" (1944). He also wrote for the television shows "The Adventures of Robin Hood," "Lassie," and the television special "The Great Man's Whiskers" (1973). Scott also authored the play "Mr. Lincoln's Whiskers" in 1948.

Scott was married in 1955 to Joan LaCour (a.k.a. Joanne Court), a film and television writer who wrote for the television shows "Have Gun, Will Travel," "Lassie," and "Surfside 6."
