Pippa Scott, who played one of abducted daughters alongside Natalie Wood in John Ford's The Searchers and the secretary of Rosalind Russell's title character in Auntie Mame, has died. She was 90. Scott died peacefully May 22 of congenital heart failure at her home in Santa Monica, her daughter Miranda Tollman told The Hollywood Reporter. More from The Hollywood Reporter Arthur Hamilton, "Cry Me a River" Songwriter, Dies at 98 Enzo Staiola, Child Star in Vittorio De Sica's 'Bicycle Thieves,' Dies at 85 Jason Constantine, Lionsgate Co-President, Dies at 55 Scott's film résumé also included Gower Champion's My Six Loves (1963), Richard Lester's Petulia (1968), Norman Lear's Cold Turkey (1971) and Michael Lindsay-Hogg's The Sound of Murder (1982). On television, the redhead portrayed the wife of a Broadway actor (Brian Aherne) transported back in time in the 1960 Twilight Zone episode 'The Trouble With Templeton'; was the wife of a rabbi helping Morey Amsterdam's character with his very belated bar mitzvah on the 1966 Dick Van Dyke Show installment 'Buddy Sorrell: Man and Boy'; and played a nursery school teacher and love interest of Jack Warden's detective on the 1976 NBC drama Jigsaw John. Scott's career got off to a rousing start with she portrayed the ill-fated Lucy Edwards, older sister of Wood's Debbie Edwards, in the John Wayne-starring The Searchers (1956). And in Auntie Mame, she starred as Pegeen, who winds up falling for Roger Smith's Patrick Dennis. Philippa Scott was born in Los Angeles on Nov. 10, 1934. Her mother was stage actress Laura Straub, and her father was Allan Scott, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter behind the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals Top Hat (1935) and Swing Time (1936). Her uncle, writer-producer Adrian Scott, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era as one of the Hollywood Ten. (She would appear in a 1964 film written by him, The Confession.) Educated at Radcliffe and UCLA and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Scott made her Broadway debut in 1956 in Jed Harris' Child of Fortune, and in 1958, she starred as a teacher who is kidnapped in As Young as We Are.

They divorced in 1983 but reconnected in 1996 and remained together until his death in 2012. As a child whose family experienced the consequences of persecution, Scott in 1993 founded The International Monitor Institute, a nonprofit that gathered evidence to assist the prosecution of war crimes in the Balkans, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Congo, Cambodia and Iraq and the systemic use of rape and child soldiers in genocide. The work of the IMI continues to assist war crime prosecution to this day through the Human Rights department at Duke University.

Have you seen Marty McFly's iconic cherry red guitar? Gibson launches search for long-lost 'Back to the Future' prop
Hill Valley, Calif.: The search for Marty McFly's missing cherry red guitar is underway after it mysteriously vanished several decades ago, and the hope is that it could be recovered without a DeLorean. Gibson — the brand behind the iconic ES-345 that star Michael J. Fox wields in Back to the Future for a memorable performance of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" — has launched a global search for the instrument, which filmmakers discovered missing 40 years ago during the making of the 1989 sequel. Alongside the film's stars, which also include Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd, Gibson has called on fans to assist with the search. Have any information on its whereabouts? Tips can be sent to Gibson online at or via call/text at 1-855-345-1955. The search was launched in tandem with Gibson Films' Lost to the Future, an upcoming documentary about the search for the elusive guitar and the impact the film — namely, Marty McFly's guitar solo scene — has had on music superstars today, including Coldplay's Chris Martin and singer-songwriter John Mayer. Fox's time-traveling teen shreds the cherry red ES-345 during the 'Enchantment Under the Sea' school dance in Robert Zemeckis's 1985 classic, stunning the crowd with a hit that had yet to be released. Fox and his costars, as well as the film's co-writer and producer Bob Gale, provide in-depth interviews in the upcoming doc from director Doc Crotzer, which also coincides with the film's 40th anniversary. "This guitar has been lost to the future," Lloyd says in the doc's trailer. Fox adds, 'It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum, or it's in some teamster's garage.' 'This is the movie that made me want to be a filmmaker, and the scene that made me pick up a guitar for the first time,' Crotzer said in a statement. "As children of the '80s, it is our duty to take fans of music, fans of the movie, and fans of true crime documentaries with us on this too-crazy-to-believe quest to find our generation's Excalibur.' 'Guitar has always been a big part of my life,' Fox said in his own statement. 'When we talked about the 'Enchantment Under The Sea' scene, I sat down with the cinematographer and choreographer and said I want to riff through all of my favorite guitarists, like doing Jimi Hendrix behind the head, Pete Townshend doing a windmill, and the Eddie [Van Halen] hammer thing, it was so cool that they were open to that, and we laid it all out there." "I'm really happy with the scene because it was an expression of my love for guitar and all the great players," Fox added. "I didn't realize the influence the scene had on people. John Mayer said, 'I play guitar because of you,' and Chris Martin said the same thing, and I am glad they took it further than I did [and] went to the trouble of being really good players. I just love the guitar, and I love the movie." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

GVN Talking Comics: Michael Schwartz On Armored Deluxe Edition From Clover Press (Now on Kickstarter)
In August 2023, we had the chance to speak with writer Michael Schwartz about his debut issue of Clover Press's Armored and its initial Kickstarter campaign. Now, Michael and artist Ismael Hernandez are launching the complete first volume of Armored on Kickstarter, paving the way for future expansions of the story. It feels appropriate to reconnect with Michael to see how the project has evolved since our last discussion. So, let's welcome back the talented Michael Schwartz to GVN Talking Comics. The Learning Curve GVN: Welcome back, Michael. We last spoke about your book, Armored , back in August of 2023. This was in advance of your FIRST Kickstarter campaign. So, with that experience in mind, what did you learn during that initial stage of development that you feel benefited you as you worked on the following issues? MICHAEL: Thanks for having me back! It's hard to believe our first Kickstarter was nearly 2 years ago. I had the first and second arcs of Armored mapped out back then, but the space between the campaigns gave me the opportunity to further develop the next story arc. There were a few elements I wasn't entirely sure about, and seeing how readers reacted to issues 1–5 allowed me to reshape parts of the story in ways I hadn't originally planned. A Great Team GVN: In our first interview, you discussed the similarities and differences between your work in television and screenplays and creating your comic Armored series. As you continued the Armored story, did your workflow diverge even more from your film writing format, or did they move closer together? MICHAEL: I'm incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such a talented group of collaborators, including my editor Chris Stevens and illustrator Ismael Hernández. Thankfully, Chris established a solid workflow for our team early on and we've pretty much stuck to that, even into the second arc. On the writing side, I've loosened up quite a bit with my details when writing descriptions of every page in each issue. It's still not quite like writing a screenplay, which is actually quite sparse, but I'm definitely looking for more input from Ismael as we move forward together telling this story. The Pressure of Past Success GVN: In time, Armored began to gather steam and was embraced by both fans and critics, selling out multiple issues. Did you anticipate that kind of broad-based support, and how much pressure did it put on you for the next installments? MICHAEL: Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, since I've always been on the other side of the comic industry – as a fan. I'm so grateful the story has resonated with readers because that word of mouth is so important for an independent book. Without it, I'm not sure some of the issues would have sold out. Now that there is a small but growing fanbase, I definitely feel the pressure to deliver with the second arc, but also so excited to finally get to this point in the Armored story. The Premise of 'Armored' GVN: For those not familiar with the premise of Armored , can you share the premise of your book? MICHAEL: Armored follows the story of a 13-year-old named Andy, whose parents vanished two years ago. After months of bouncing around foster homes, he's adopted by a strange couple whose son, Myles, died under mysterious circumstances. An amateur sleuth at heart, Andy decides to investigate Myles's death, which leads him to a set of old castle ruins. While there, he falls into a medieval tomb and discovers a magical suit of armor being haunted by the original wearer from hundreds of years ago, a ghostly knight, Sir William. With Sir William as his mentor, Andy must learn to harness the armor's powers and uncover the truth behind Myles's death! The Deluxe Hardcover Edition GVN: In our first chat, you mentioned that you hoped we could discuss the second arc in the future. Now, nine months later, we're back talking about Armored and a new Kickstarter campaign for a deluxe hardcover edition. Can you explain how this exciting project came about? Additionally, do you feel more confident about the crowdfunding aspect this time, given your experience from the first campaign? MICHAEL: With the success of the single issues released by Clover Press, it was the natural next step to collect them all in a hardcover edition packed with extra content. These days, many comic readers prefer to wait for collected editions, so I'm excited by the prospect of new readers. As for Kickstarter, I don't know if I'll ever feel confident going into a crowdfunding campaign. It's always tough to predict what will resonate with comic collectors. That said, I'm genuinely excited because not only are we offering the collected edition, but we're also including issue 6, which is completely new material, the first part of the second arc. New Campaign, New Extras GVN: This new campaign offers some great extras, including: An exclusive dust jacket featuring the stunning Armored artwork by David Mack, a collectible trading card set, and art prints by Jae Lee, David Mack, and Francesco Tomaselli. In addition to an exclusive Preview Comic (Issue 6) for the next story arc, with a cover by Jeff Dickson. How much input do you have when deciding on these great benefits, or does Clover Press make those calls? MICHAEL: Clover Press and I collaborate closely when deciding what kind of extras to include in the Kickstarter. We both bring ideas to the table, but Clover makes the ultimate decision. They've run so many successful Kickstarter campaigns that I really trust their judgement when it comes to tiers and rewards. Next Projects GVN: Thank you for visiting again, Michael. Before we finish, I would like to allow you to share any upcoming projects you have. Also, feel free to promote the exciting new hardcover edition of Armored , which features art by Ismael Hernandez and is edited by Eisner Award-winner Chris Stevens. MICHAEL: Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me. I can't wait for readers to get their hands on this edition. I know they won't be disappointed with all the bonus content we have planned. Comic fans can also look forward to my next book with Clover Press, Till Death , co-written by Rachael Schaefer and illustrated by Gaia Cardinali. Rachael and I worked with Eisner-winning editor Chris Stevens on the project, and we're excited to share more about it very soon. Clover Press Armored , the deluxe hardcover edition by Michael Schwartz, Ismael Hernández, and Ferran Delgado, is now on Kickstarter. You can check out their campaign here.
