Lizabeth Scott, an actress known for her roles in film noir like Dead Reckoning and Pitfall, died Jan. 31 in Los Angeles. She was 92.
The actress died from congestive heart failure, her friend, Mary Goodstein, told the Los Angeles Times.
Scott was heralded for her femme fatale roles opposite the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Burt Lancaster, Van Heflin and Barbara Stanwyck.
She was signed by Paramount in the mid-1940s and was featured mostly in the film noir genre through the 1950s. She acted in a few movies outside of the genre, including 1957's Loving You with Elvis Presley and 1954 western Silver Lode. She returned to her noir roots in 1972's Pulp.
Throughout the 1960s, she had a number of roles in television, including "Burke's Law," "The Third Man" and "Adventures in Paradise."
After her acting career ended, Scott spent her time doing voiceovers for commercials and working on her physical fitness. She studied literature, languages and philosophy.
"I simply decided there was more to life than just making films," she said in an interview in the 1970s, quoted by The Guardian. "And, I proceeded to explore all of life's other facets. None of us is ever too young or too old or too smart to learn or to create."
