Scott Marlowe (born Ronald Richard DeLeo; June 24, 1932 – January 6, 2001)[1] was an American actor. He had starring roles in the teen exploitation film The Cool and the Crazy (1958, alongside Dick Bakalyan) and the May-December independent film, A Cold Wind in August (1961, opposite Lola Albright). He was a founding member of Theatre West.[2]

Career

Film

Marlowe, born Ronald Richard DeLeo, the son of Emile and Concetta DeLeo, made his film debut with an uncredited role in Attila (1955). Over the next few years, he began accruing supporting parts in several films, co-starring opposite Leslie Caron in Gaby (1956); in the Michael Curtiz-directed film noir, The Scarlet Hour (1956); with Russ Tamblyn in The Young Guns (1956); opposite the Robert Ryan-led ensemble cast of Men in War (1957); and a young Anne Bancroft in The Restless Breed (1957).

However, in 1958, he garnered a pair of lead roles in teen exploitation films dealing with juvenile delinquency: Young and Wild and The Cool and the Crazy — the latter of which not only co-starred another rising star in the subgenre, Richard Bakalyan, but proved to be Marlowe's breakthrough role. He followed this up with Riot in Juvenile Prison (1959) and The Subterraneans (1960). The latter featured an all-star cast and was adapted from Jack Kerouac's titular novel, albeit severely diluted from its original beatnik content.

In 1961, he starred opposite Lola Albright in the May-December independent romantic drama, A Cold Wind in August. Despite only being eight years younger than her, Marlowe portrayed a character half of Albright's age who was seduced and fell in love, but complications arose when her burlesque stripper past interfered with his idealized perception. Subsequently, concentrating on television, his film roles dissipated after that. After Lonnie (1963), Marlowe would not appear in another feature film until Journey into Fear (1975), followed by Circle of Power (1981). In the 1990s, he had roles in one more theatrical film, Chasers (1994). The last two, Lightning in a Bottle (1998) and Counter Measures (1999), both went direct-to-video on VHS.

Television

In 1958, he played the son of the title character (played by James Whitmore) in the Wagon Train episode "The Gabe Carswell Story". He appeared in such television series as Cheyenne, Law of the Plainsman, Gunsmoke, Have Gun – Will Travel, Route 66, Kraft Suspense Theater, Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law, Mannix, The Outer Limits, The F.B.I., and Murder, She Wrote. He also appeared in such made-for-TV movies as Night Slaves, followed by Travis Logan, D.A., The Critical List, Thou Shalt Not Kill, No Place Like Home, Seasons of the Heart, and Following Her Heart.

Death

Marlowe died of a heart attack in Los Angeles on January 6, 2001, at age 68.[3]
