An American actor of volcanic intensity, George C. Scott embodied like no one masculine authority pushed to the limit. His portrayal of the general in 'Patton' earned him the Oscar for Best Actor, an award he famously rejected out of his contempt for competition among artists. He had already shown his mettle in Stanley Kubrick's cinema with the deranged General Turgidson of 'Dr. Strangelove'. Born in Virginia in 1927 and deceased in 1999, he possessed a deep voice and an imposing presence that endowed his characters with a force at once fearsome and profoundly human.
