Lizabeth Scott was an American actress, singer, and model. She was also known as Elizabeth Scott.
Her parents, Mary (Penneck/Pennock) and John Matzo, were Slovak immigrants. Lizabeth’s ethnicity has been variously described as Austrian, Irish, Dutch, German, English, and/or Jewish. These statements are not accurate, though Lizabeth’s parents were likely from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They are listed as speaking Slovak on the 1930 U.S. Census.
