    Forest school and right from the start he was a sports Prodigy Scott could do it all whether it came to football baseball horse racing or even swimming then World War I rolled around in April 1917 when the United States entered the war Scott wasted no time he hopped on

    Eventually he got back to the United States in June 1919 just in time for a discharge from Camp Mills in New York City at this point Scott didn’t just hang up his military boots and quit what he was doing instead he took all that wartime experience and brought it into

    His acting career from horsemanship to Firearms he had it all covered and that’s not all after the war Scott decided to get into his studies once again he tried his hand at Georgia Tech aiming for that All-American football player title but a back injury dashed those dreams for good so he switched

    Gears and headed to the University of North Carolina diving into textile engineering and Manufacturing but things didn’t go according to plan and instead of finishing his degree Scott decided to join the family business following in his old man’s footsteps he became an accountant at a textile firm very soon

    The trajectory of his life changed and he landed himself into a brand new chapter of his life early career in 1927 Scott got an itch for acting so he packed his bags and headed straight to the glitzy land of Hollywood hoping to make it big in the movies at

    The time his dad knew Howard Hughes the big shot film guy and introduced Scott to him with a formal letter that was meant to leave a lasting impression Hughes liked what he saw and offered Scott a little gig in a flick called Sharpshooters in 1928 starring George O’Brien but Scott wasn’t satisfied with

    Just a taste of the Silver Screen over the next few years he hustled taking on extra roles and bit Parts in various films you might have caught him in weary River with Richard barthamus the far call and the black watch directed by none other than John Ford with a young

    John Wayne making an appearance oh and don’t forget the Virginia alongside Gary Cooper where Rumor Has It Scott even helped Cooper with his accent all of these films came out in 1929 which shows just how fast Scott was moving through the industry he was also part of the

    Crew in Dynamite by Cecil B demill and Ford’s born reckless in 1930 even though you probably won’t spot him in the credits he was there he just wasn’t a big name yet alongside his Silver Screen rolles the stage was another Avenue Scott explored thanks to some advice

    From deil he polished his craft at the Pasadena Playhouse taking on roles like a minister a butler and even characters from Shakespeare and shaww his performance in under a Virginia moon at the Vine Street Theater caught the eye of some pretty big Hollywood names Landing him some interesting screen test

    Offers eventually Paramount Pictures liked what they saw and Scott scored a sweet 7-year deal with them pulling in $400 per week this wasn’t too shabby especially back then then came 1931 and that’s when Scott made his big screen debut in women men Mary alongside Sally

    Blaine it was a poverty R Studio gig and unfortunately the film seems to be lost to time however there’s still an older silent version from 1922 kicking around if you’re curious Scott followed up that debut with a supporting role in a Warner Brothers flick starring George Arles

    Called a successful Calamity in 1932 but this Paramount contract was crucial it paved the way for Scott to Branch out and land even more roles as you’ll soon find out Scott’s Zane gray series now Randolph scottt had begun to hit his stride in Hollywood under his new

    Paramount contract his first gig was a small part in a comedy flick called Sky bride in 1932 but things really started to pick up when Paramount cast him as the lead in Heritage of the desert this was his big break into the Western scene and he managed to shine brighter than ever

    Again sometimes the age difference between scenes would be pretty noticeable but they still made it work pretty well now Scott wasn’t just sticking to westerns he tried out other genres too from playing the other man in hot Saturday to starring in horror flicks like murders in the zoo and

    For more Western Action Now film historian William K Everson had a lot of high praise for Scott’s Zan gray series calling them uniformly good and he wasn’t wrong because these films were like a master class for Scott helping him develop his skills both in action and acting but wait for it because his

    With an sudden death a car drama directed by Barton now Scott’s next move was a pretty big one he was loaned out to Edward small to play the iconic Hawkeye in The Last of the Mohicans based on James fenmore Cooper’s classic novel it was a game changer Mohawks take

    Him in tribe make him Blood Brother Mohawk he was born a hon marking Scott’s first major success in a top tier film Paramount loved what Scott was bringing to the table so they started casting him in nothing but a-listers from being May West’s love interest in go West young man in 1936 to

    The well- budgeted Western the Texans in 1938 with Joan Bennett then took on the road to Reno over at University plus Scott was actually in the running for the role of Ashley wils and Gone With the Wind but in the end it was Leslie Howard who ended up snagging the

    Scott nearly all of his starring roles from then on were in westerns these weren’t your run-of-the-mill flicks either each one was a million dooll production packing a punch both on screen and at the box office Scott was the go-to cowboy for producers Nat Holt and Harry Joe Brown though he did mix it

    Up a bit with Albuquerque in 1948 over at Paramount as the years rolled on Scott’s Western Persona evolved gone were the days of the debonaire cowboy and now he was the weathered wise man of the West he was hardened by the wars that he had seen and so his roles

    Evolved too his last roles away from the frontier included home sweet homicide in 1947 a mysterious Caper with peggyanne Garner over at Fox and Christmas Eve a heartwarming family drama under Benedict BOGO plus he made a brief cameo in Warner Brothers starlift in 1951 Nat Holt a producer roped Scott

    Open arms for Colt 45 where he pocketed $100,000 per picture he stuck around for Sugarfoot Fort Worth and Carson City among others directed by Andre dth one notable mention is shootout at medicine Bend which was filmed in 1955 but released in 1957 marking Scott Swan Song in black and white Cinema starring

    Alongside James Garner and Angie Dickinson but let’s not forget the dynamic duo of Scott and director Bud bicher their collaboration kicked off with seven men from now in 1956 replacing John Wayne in a stroke of luck the film set the stage for a string of successes known as the rown cycle named

    After their production company each film was a work of art showcasing Scott’s quiet strength against formidable foes Like Richard Boone and Claude Akens their partnership churned out gems like decision at sundown and Buchanan rides alone leading up to ride Lonesome and commanche station which rounded off their remarkable run Scott’s final harah

    Came with Ride the High Country in 1962 directed by Sam penpa alongside Joel McCree sealing their status as Western Legends it was a fitting farewell steeped in Nostalgia for the old west and the bonds of Brotherhood with Scott rightfully build above m in an ending to an illustrious career but

    One movie that stood out from this time became one of his most beloved movies of all time the tall T this was a classic western flick from 1957 directed by bud bicher and starring Randolph Scott Richard Boone and Morino Sullivan it was based on a short story

    Called the captives by Elmore Leonard so you know it had some Solid Source material to begin with the plot unfolded like this Pat Brennan the main guy played by Scott was just trying to help out a friend’s son by getting him some candy things took a wild turn when he

    Ended up hitching a ride with a stage coach carrying a newlywed couple Willard and doretta Mims however things turned dark real quick the stage coach got mistaken for another one by three nasty Outlaws who’d already killed the station manager and his kid things went from bad to worse when one of the Outlaws

    Shot the stage coach driver now now here’s where the drama kicked in Willard the groom decided to offer up his wife doretta for ransom instead of getting robbed the head outlaw Frank actually agreed and took doretta and Pat to their Hideout as the tension mounted and the

    Danger got real Pat hatched a plan to turn the tables on the Outlaws it involved some quick thinking a little manipulation and a whole lot of guts at this point things got pretty intense and that’s how the film progressed being one of his best films of all time this

    Gained the kind of recognition that exceeded all others now as they say all good things come to an end later years after Ride the High Country Randolph Scott called it quits in the film business at the age of 64 there were no more films for him but

    Retirement wasn’t too bad with a knack for smart Investments he demasked quite the fortune reportedly hitting the100 million Mark but that’s not all his portfolio included a mix of real estate oil wells gas and securities settling down in Beverly Hills with his wife Patricia Scott didn’t exactly lead

    A dull life he kept his circle tight hanging out with his buddy Fred a stair and catching Dodgers games together plus golf was his jam and he even had a pudding green right in his own backyard he was part of some fancy clubs too including belir Country Club Los Angeles

    Country Club and El Dorado Country Club in Indian Wells California soon Scott struck up a friendship with the Reverend Billy Graham turns out he was quite the religious guy according to his son Christopher they were part of the Episcopalian group attending All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills and St

    Peter’s Episcopal Church in Charlotte North Carolina plus Scott didn’t just play golf he owned and even had a hand in designing the crest of Verde Golf Course in Corona California even in retirement Scott kept himself busy and engaged but his work and Ventures weren’t the only interesting thing about

    Him personal life Randolph Scott had two marriages in his lifetime his first was in 1936 to Marian Dupont an ays with quite the lineage being the daughter of William Dupont Senor and the great granddaughter of elu ir Dupont deur the founder of e ID Dupont deur and Company interestingly Marian had been previously

    Married to George Somerville with Scott even serving as the best man at their wedding unfortunately the Scott’s marriage hit the rocks and ended in divorce 3 years later they didn’t have any children but Maran retained Randolph’s last name until her passing in 1983 in 1944 Scott got married once

    Again this time to actress Patricia Stillman who happened to be 21 years his Junior the couple expanded their family in 1950 by adopting two children Sandra and Christopher despite Making Waves on the big screen Scott managed to keep his personal life fairly private this meant that several secrets were buried in his

    Heart until he died but not before revealing one of the greatest secrets of his life Scott’s death Scott breathed his last in 1987 at the age of 89 in Beverly Hills California succumbing to Heart and Lung issues he found his final resting place at Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte North Carolina his wife p

    Trisha who had been by his side for 43 years followed him in death in 2004 and was laid to rest beside him their home a Marvel of mid-century modern design was demolished in 2008 here’s a cool fact the University of California Los Angeles library special collections got hold of

    The Randolph Scott papers which included all sorts of stuff like photos scrapbooks letters and house plans but there was one thing that was revealed to the world after his death and it left everybody shocked Scott’s secret relationship with Carrie Grant back in 1933 there was this headline in the

    Hollywood magazine that said we can’t afford a Hollywood marriage alongside a picture of Carrie Grant and Randolph Scott but this was no ordinary image the two were together singing while doing the dishes these two Hollywood studs were living as roommates at the time sharing chores and jamming on the piano together

    In an interview Carrie Grant talked about the struggles of Hollywood Life he said that if they were regular people working as doctors or lawyers they’d have it much easier when it came to getting married but Hollywood demanded fancy cars plush Beverly Hills mansions and swanky Malibu beach houses Randolph

    Scott chimed in joking about how if he were married it would be all highclass vacations and Jet setting around the world but can you imagine dragging a lady Along on a steamer adventure to the South Seas that’s not quite the honeymoon a woman would expect so here’s where it gets interesting Carrie Grant

    And Randolph Scott were more than just friends they were roommates from 1932 to 1940 they shared a beach house in Santa Monica living life as rising stars at Paramount Studios while other Hollywood guys shared digs nun had the publicity machine cranking out headlines about their bro like Grant and Scott did but

    The fan mags back then weren’t exactly newspapers of record they were all about selling Glamour and escapism to millions of readers mostly women looking for a taste of Hollywood drama without leaving home so when Grant and Scott’s living situation became public they were named Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors

    Living at Bachelor H this was the ultimate man cave where adulthood was optional but were they actually intimately involved with each other to this day it remains a mystery Grant eventually married Virginia cherl and when that didn’t work out he and Scott continued their Beach House Adventures

    But if you’ve seen those cozy pcks of them lounging by the pool you might be a bit confused here’s the thing though they were totally staged Paramount’s public relations machine was an overdrive churning out images of the two friends doing everything together including swimming and sunbathing some pictures definitely hinted at something

    More but others just showed good old-fashioned Bromance today those pictures have taken on a life of their own some people see them as evidence of a secret gay love affair while others see them as Paramount’s Savvy marketing strategy so it seems that Scott died without confirming if he and Grant were

    Ever more than friends but even in death his legacy remained Public Image Randolph Scott’s face served as the inspiration for the Oakland Raiders logo back in 1960 it said that they tweaked it a bit in 1963 but for over half a century that logo stayed pretty much the same staying

    True to its roots then in Thomas Pinchin novel V from 1963 there’s this character profane who watches a Randolph Scott flick and feels a bit inadequate compared to the coolness of his hero Scott’s character is all calm and collected and only speaks when it’s necessary saying all

    The right stuff not babbling like a goofball there’s this gem from the 1963 movie soldier in the rain where one character Bobby Joe Pepperdine Compares someone’s heroics to Scott’s style calling them a fat Randolph Scott even Tom L’s song send the Marines from his 1965 album pays tribute to Scott

    Alongside John Wayne and get this in the 1968 film the sergeant there’s this Uncle character who’s all about American movies especially Western starring Randolph Scott but that’s not all remember the Lucky Luke comic book from 1965 there’s this caricature of Randolph Scott in there as Colonel mcstruggle

    Fast forward to 1973 with The Statler Brothers album carry me back and there’s a song called whatever happened to Randolph Scott mourning the end of Western flicks it’s like a love letter to the genre and to Scott a sentiment that still stands to this day then in Blazing Saddles from 1974 there’s this

    Hilarious scene where Sheriff Bart calls out to the town’s folk saying they do anything for Randolph Scott when they hear that name they start whispering it like it’s sacred or something you do it for Randolph Scott Scot all right it added a touch of Comedy that really worked for the film

    Even in Stephen King and Peter Straub’s 1984 novel The Tal tman there’s a bar Patron who’s said to resemble Randolph Scott and let’s not forget about guitarist Leo kot’s song turning into Randolph Scott from his 1994 album which paid tribute to Scott’s Legacy also in an episode of NYPD Blue from the seventh

    Season Andy sipowitz admits he’s not the most handsome fella around saying he’s not Randolph Scott plus there’s this Rodney Dangerfield joke from 1981 where he says I voted for Randolph Scott poking fun at the whole actor turned conservative politician thing it’s clear that even after he died he could still

    Leave people in awe wherever he was mentioned thanks for watching and we’ll see you in the next one we’ll

    1. Thank you for the biography of one of my most favorite western actors
      Randolf Scott.
      Never cared much for John Wayne, but Randolf, or Gary Cooper or John Payne, much better actors than the Duke.

    2. Uggg! What a theft of the general public's trust! The whole clip is just a bio of his life and ACTUALLY ENDS WITHOUT EVEN MENTIONING A SECRET! I'll make it a point to never watch anything on UNCOVERED FILES again. Shame on you all!

    3. WHAT THE HELL??BE WAS BORN in(January23,1989 )AND DIED IN(1987?At the age of "89"????).🤔How is this even possible??? To be born 2yrs before his death and having done all these things for89years??. PLEASE🙏 someone fact check these things before posting them!

    4. In my experience I’ve never known or heard of anyone who didn’t have a dark side, along with trial’s and troubles in life.
      The Devil doesn’t spare anyone, some just have it worse than others.
      But watching this video, it looked like Randolph Scott was a rare exception, I’ve never heard of such a blessed life, right from the beginning to the end, everything went his way, with everything this World had to offer, riches, fame, possessions, and good health to enjoy them. It looked like God must’ve been so pleased with him , that he blessed him with everything, and put a hedge around him, to protect him from everything. It seemed that it was either that, or like someone who had made a pact with the Devil. But then we find out at the end, that he wasn’t an exception, and was no different than anyone else.
      And he was hit hard with the most powerful weapon the Devil has in his toolbox, that neither the wisest man who ever lived, nor the wealthiest, or the most powerful, nor the strongest man who ever was, was any match, with the slightest chance, whenever any sort of sexual temptation’s became a Satanic Stronghold in they’re life.
      And it doesn’t matter what type it is, or that one is worse than another, so that no one has a right to boast that their sin isn’t as bad as someone else’s.
      And given the right set of circumstances, we’re all capable of far worse than anything we may have done, or what we may think we couldn’t ever do.

    5. 1989 Bourne? This guy was even more unbelievable than your video leads us to believe! At the start of the video the announcer clearly says that this subject of the video was born in 1989. Not 1889. And yet he served in World War I! Great job!
