Vandevere

Vandevere

Trish Van Devere is an American actress best-known for her comedic turn in Carl Reiner's 1970 cult classic, Going Ape (1970), in support of George Segal and Ruth Gordon, and for being the wife and widow and frequent co-star of legendary actor, George C. Scott. Born Patricia Louise Dressel on March 9, 1943 in Tenafly, New Jersey, she first made her mark, professionally, on the soap opera, "One Life to Live" (1968). She met Scott when they co-starred (along with his then-wife Colleen Dewhurst) in the neo-noir, The Last Run(1971). Scott eventually shed Dewhurst (for the second time) and married Van Devere. She co-starred with him in Mike Nichols' 1973 thriller, The Day of the Dolphin (1973), which was not a success, and The Savage Is Loose (1974), (1974), a flop, directed by Scott, that was barely released. During the rest of the decade, they co-starred in the TV movie, Beauty and the Beast (1976) (TV) (1976), Movie Movie (1978) (1978), and The Changeling (1980) (1980), a period that coincided with the decline of Scott's stardom and critical reputation. After 1980, when the two appeared on Broadway in a calamitous flop, she continued to appear in less prestigious movies and on TV until 1994.
