Scofield died Wednesday in a hospital near his home in southern England, agent Rosalind Chatto said. He had been suffering from leukemia.
Scofield made few films even after the Oscar for his 1966 portrayal of Sir Thomas More, the Tudor statesman executed for treason in 1535 after clashing with King Henry VIII. Tags:Oscar-winningactorPaulScofielddiesAManforAllSeasons Added: 20th March 2008 Views: 153 Rating: Posted By:Old Fart
