Martha Scott Autographs
Martha Ellen Scott (September 22, 1912 – May 28, 2003) was an American actress. She was featured in major films such as Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments (1956), and William Wyler's Ben-Hur (1959). Martha played the mother of Charlton Heston's character in both films. She originated the role of Emily Webb in Thornton Wilder's Our Town on Broadway in 1938, and later recreated the role in the 1940 film version, for which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Scott was born in Jamesport, Missouri. She was the daughter of Letha (née McKinley) and Walter Alva Scott. Walter was an engineer and garage owner. Her mother was a second cousin of U.S. President William McKinley. The Scott family remained in Jamesport until Martha was 13 years old. At that time, they moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Eventually, they relocated in Detroit, Michigan. Scott became interested in acting while in high school. She furthered this interest by attending the University of Michigan. Her accolades included a teaching certificate, as well as accomplishing a Bachelor of Arts degree in drama in 1934.
Scott received a career boost right out of college, when she appeared with the Globe Theatre Troupe in a series of Shakespeare productions at the Century of Progress world's fair in Chicago in 1934. Following that, she moved to New York City, where she found steady work both in stock stage productions and radio dramas. In 1938, she made her Broadway debut in the original staging of Thornton Wilder's play Our Town as Emily Webb, the tragic young woman who dies in childbirth.
