success. Scott produced The Boy with Green Hair (1948), directed by Joseph Losey, which was a box-office flop. He is credited on the script for Miss Susie Slagle's (1946) at Paramount. Blacklisting Scott joined the Communist Party USA in 1944. In October 1947, Scott was called to testify during the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings on Hollywood, but as did nine others, refused to testify. RKO fired him on October 29, 1947, for refusing to answer questions. For the first year of the blacklist, he returned to journalism, contributing to the London journal Cine-Technician. He was sentenced to prison along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten. Edward Dmytryk, another of the Hollywood Ten, chose to become a 'friendly' witness and testified before the HUAC in 1951 that Scott pressured him to put communist propaganda in his films. In 1955, Scott published an essay titled "Blacklist: The Liberal's Straightjacket and Its Effect on Content" in Hollywood Review. From 1954 to 1961, Scott made a living writing for television. These shows included The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Adventures of Sir Lancelot. He provided the story for Conspiracy of Hearts (1960) under a pseudonym. He moved to England in 1961. In 1963, MGM-British hired Scott as a production executive, effectively ending his blacklisting. Later career Scott attempted to make a return to feature-film production in 1967 by producing a new adaption of Monsieur Lecoq; the film was never finished. Film stills featuring the movie's actress Julie Newmar were featured in the September 1969 edition of Playboy. Shortly before his death, Scott made a television adaption of The Great Man's Whiskers and was credited with his legal name. Personal life Scott was married to actress Anne Shirley, who subsequently married another screenwriter, Charles Lederer, nephew of Marion Davies. He later married Joan Scott (née LaCour), fellow screenwriter and producer. Joan sometimes served as Adrian's front when he was unable to publish under his own name, and later the surname LaCour was used by both when writing in Hollywood. Adrian was the brother of screenwriter Allan Scott, who is the father of actress Pippa Scott. Adrian Scott died from lung cancer in 1972 in Sherman Oaks, California.
