Trish Van Devere Kept A Sex Slave In Her House!

She is an actress who was married to George C. Scott. This is really bizarre!

Geez, and I thought George was nuts.

She was a decent actress, but didn't really do a lot of work. This is a very strange story.

Here's the court documents, why isn't this getting more press?

Please tell me it wasn't the lovely Lainie Kazan!

Trish is a gay icon. She think she was nominated for an Oscar for either "The Hearse" or "The Changeling."

^ well, she is now.

Wow, like Rick James, minus the burning with a crack pipe. Wonder what was done with the videos, was it a ring? Would be my guess given how little publicity this is getting.

I had no idea she was still alive. For some reason I thought she had died even before George C. I guess that was just her career.

Google brings up only 2 articles from last June, how did you stumble across this OP?

If only we had a poll... is her lawyer Avenati or the tedious Gloria Allred?

I had a friend who always referred to her as Tush van Derrière.

The Michael Bennett thread made me curious about his work on YouTube. Trish Van Devere presented the Best Musical Award to Bennett at the 1976 Tony Awards, Didn't know who she was, googled her name and Voila!

The Hearse is actually one of the best horror films ever made.

Sex cults and now this. It’s starting to look like actors are flat out weird people.

She was the original Meredith Lord on One Life To Live in the late 1960s. (Meredith was Viki's younger sister and, at the time, her only sibling -- she would acquire four more over the years through retcons.) We should merge this with the "Llanfair vs. Cortlandt Manor" thread.

Is she a sister to darling Bubbles?

The sex slave was for her son who she adopted when she was in her 50s, I bet she was fucking him too.

Which is why I so curious as to why she would be chosen to Present the Best Musical Award at the Tonys. She is not Mary Martin!

My only guess is that George C, Scott told the Tony Producers he would boycott the show if his wife didn't present a prestigious award,

If it got no press, it was probably determined that the charges had no merit and the story was a non-starter. Curious that neither Trish nor the son had representation, though. I can only guess that the girl was so obviously loony they figured they didn't need any. Even if they were flat broke, they could at least ask for a court appointed attorney if one was necessary.

Sick bitch.

I always thought she was Campbell Scott's mother, but I was wrong. The timing isn't even close.

Poor Trish played George Segal's long suffering girlfriend in the cult classic "Where's Poppa" but achieved some notoriety when she was in "the Savage is Loose" with Scott and John David Carson. They played a family stranded on an island and the son starts having sexual feelings towards his mom. He plots to kill dad so he can fuck mom. I seem to remember it ended with the son almost killing dad but mom stepping in and gives him a very unmotherly kiss. The end.

Colleen Dewhurst is his mother

Ahem, r22......

Poor Campbell Scott. His mother Colleen Dewhurst had treatable cervical cancer but her Christian Science beliefs caused her to refuse treatment. Scott begged her to get it but she refused. Fucking religion.

Trish was hot back in her day. As the bisexual murderess she was one of my favorites on Columbo. I always felt her character was the only one who would get away with it at trial.

If she ever did have a sex-slave she earned it. George C Scott loved to beat his woman.

Season Hubley said on Skip E. Lowe’s cable show that he was delightful on set of Hardcore.

"If she ever did have a sex-slave she earned it."

Aw, good for her. God bless.

I know, R24 and R25. I said I knew I was wrong.

"One Is a Lonely Number", about young widowhood, was one of her early films.

If this story is true, they would have been arrested for kidnapping amongst other charges.....I call BS....

Fa loves Ma!

She had the reputation of bringing women home ages ago, but this?

She deserved an Oscar nomination for her performance in the horror film "The Changeling."

"Starting to"? Snort.

R28, in case DL'ers are uninformed, Skip E. Lowe was the original basis for Martin Short's Jiminy Glick. The original name was Skip E. High but when SEL objected, he created Glick, who has the same weird non-sequiturs that Lowe did.

The son's IG

He looks like a creep, R38. How old is he? How old was he when he was adopted?

Weird story.

I believe the boy is actually Trish's nephew, the son of her brother. When her brother died, Trish and George C. adopted him. Trish's original name was Dressel. I think she's from old money--the horsey set back east.

R21, That's Ruth Springford as Minnie Huxley from The Changeling.

Did Scott's marriage to Colleen Dewhurst break up because he fell for Trish Van Devere, or did the marriage end for some other reason(s)?

Didn't she play Slee's sister on OLTL?

Guess she did think that One Was The Loneliest Number.

r42 Scott first left Dewhurst for Ava Gardner. They divorced then remarried. Then he left her again, for Van Devere this time. He was an alcoholic who tried AA, but continued to drink: there are reports that he beat both Gardner and Dewhurst.

Thanks, R42. He sounds like an unreliable husband, at least in his youth & middle-age.

I loved her in The Hearse.

It is good to have a hobby.

So I guess nothing came of this? Barely anything comes up on Google.

Any word from her equally improbably named brother Whip Hubley?

The article tells you who Trish Van Devere Scott is, derpstain.

Wow, major meth vibes on the son. That explains a lot.

Wait a minute....Campbell Scott is the son of George C Scott and Colleen Dewhust??? I had no idea.
