...material, Scott was handed the manuscript of Plaza Suite in a restaurant by Playwright Neil Simon; he left to read it and returned little more than an hour later to say he would act in it. During the filming of Scott's TV series, East Side/West Side, Jim Aubrey, then president of CBS-TV, summoned Scott and Producer David Susskind to his office and informed them that the episode they were working on required a happy ending.
