2.) Mia Farrow and Ava Gardner were his celebrity/wives.
7-Ava Gardner on Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra. "I always knew Frank would end up in bed with a boy."

8 On “Von Ryan’s Express” (1965) he worked with Sinatra and was amazed at how off-handed the actor was in real life. He’d expected Sinatra to be as gregarious as the characters he often played. Instead, he found a spoiled kid surrounded by his sycophantic “gorillas.”

4 During the filming of The Golden Salamander in 1950 he had a passionnate affair with a teenage Anouk Aimée
-
2-Married to actress Helen Cherry for 44 years. His drinking bouts often got him into trouble, as when he ordered champagne for 39 violinists in a Paris nightclub and was arrested when unable to pay the bill.

Trevor Howard

10- Was the inspiration for the popular 1973 song "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?," a top-20 country hit for the Statler Brothers

7 -The Oakland Raiders logo is the likeness of Actor Randolph Scott, with a patch over his right eye. Davis changed the color of the helmet from black to silver, and this sat atop two crossed swords. The shield background changed from silver to black, and just the team name “Raiders” was added above the head

4- On his father:' He went to see all my films--not because he had a son starring in them, but because he thought I looked like Wallace Reid, his favorite actor'. Scott really looks like Reid!

10- on his favorite role: 'The Enchanted Cottage' The role symbolized my own life, though I wasn't a veteran who returned from war tragically disfigured. It demonstrated my theory that we are all, somehow, handicapped. Shyness and fear of people were my invisible scars. These were finally overcome, just as in the movie, because of the love of a woman who saw the 'perfect man' through all the imperfections.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that. She also played a split personality (one good, one evil) in some 40s film. Forgotten the title. It's very dated now, but she was good in it.
Oh, I think the title was Bedeviled. No, its Bewitched.
yes with Edmund Gwenn it was showed last year on TCM,it was supposed to be a rare showing if i remember well,it was ok for the period-1945

8 Young's bitterness toward Hollywood casting practices never diminished, and he suffered from depression and alcoholism .Well LB did not help:his screen image was such that he usually never got the girl.Louis B. Mayer would say, "He has no sex appeal" .

3-Played in 'Remember last night? '1935 for James Whale A quite controversial film.The film was never re-released, has never been released in any home video format and is rarely shown on television. A great screwball comedy of movie thrillers with excessive drinking ,the Production Code tone it down but it is still quite surprising,it was shown at least 1 time on TCM.

9- Sumptuously produced and directed with visual panache, Scaramouche builds excitingly to its memorable climax, a seven-minute swordfight(with Mel Ferrer) in a theatre taking the protagonists over the boxes, through corridors, down the immense foyer staircase and finally on to the stage where props and curtains are slashed in this great action sequence. Granger is superb in a swashbuckling performance to rank with the best.In 1990 he returned to the theatre, touring England and then making an acclaimed Broadway debut in Somerset Maugham's The Circle with Rex Harrison and Glynis Johns.Rex Harrison's final play.

Fess Parker was in 'The Hangman' with Robert Taylor

7- Spencer Tracy suggested to the director George Cukor that Granger would be perfect as Norman Maine in A Star is Born after the first choice, Cary Grant, had turned it down. Granger & James Mason were the UK new big actors for Hollywood.Both were working at the Gainsborough Films in the UK.
Though James Mason was the finer actor, Granger achieved greater popularity in the Hollywood cinema, and it is ironic that Mason's finest role there, as Norman Maine in A Star is Born (1954), went to him only after Granger turned it down. It is to be regretted that Granger's enormous ego (to which he freely confessed) did not allow him to accept the role or the character roles later in his career that might have sustained and enhanced his reputation,he turned down the role of Messala in Ben Hur rather than be billed below Charlton Heston. Although 43 years old, he refused to see himself in character parts.

5-'' I haven't aged into a character actor. I'm an old leading man.''He was mistakenly diagnosed with lung cancer in 1980 and had part of his lung and a rib removed, only to find he really had tuberculosis.

2. In his book Sparks Fly Upwards,he mentions his affair with Hedy Lamarr in his early days,if i remember well she insisted he did not mess with her hair in bed, as she was going to be on the set later...he wrote in his book Deborah Kerr had approached him romantically in the back of his chauffeur-driven car at the time he was making Caesar and Cleopatra.Although at the time he was married to Elspeth March, he states that he and Kerr went on to have an affair. When asked about this revelation, Kerr's response was "What a gallant man he is."[

It was another Dorothy, Dorothy Malone but they shared something: Dorothy McGuire In April of 2002, Dorothy's family was hurt and disappointed after Dorothy's name was unwittingly omitted by the Motion Picture Academy from the "In Memoriam" tribute of the March 2002 telecast. The demure, classy Dorothy, who had died within the calendar year and was nominated once for an Oscar for Gentleman's Agreement(1947), was one of those talented stars who avoided the sensationalism of stardom. The Academy explained that it was NOT an oversight or a slight, but that they have room only for 15-20 names in a single tribute. However, left unexplained was why they managed to include lesser film personalities such as Aalyah
Dorothy Malone: Passed away on January 19th 2018, but was not remembered in the 90th Academy Awards In Memoriam segment, despite being a Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner.
