Biography
Mary Pickford's tenement beau in the charming Amarilly of Clothesline Ally, handsome William Scott was the brother of silent screen ingenue Mabel Julienne Scott. Onscreen from the late 1910s and often featured in Westerns, Scott usually played the heroine's weakling brother. He retired from screen work in the mid-'30s. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
