Dead Page: Top Gun

TONY SCOTT, 68

Committed suicide August 19th at the Vincent Thomas Bridge in Los Angeles Bay.  Younger brother of director Ridley Scott.

He directed some of my favorite movies, plus he and his brother ran Scott Free Productions that produces two of my favorite TV shows:  "Numb3rs" and "The Good Wife" plus did the History Channel documentary on the Battle of Gettysburg in 2011.

He worked with Denzel Washington on four movies.  I especially liked his "Top Gun" in 1986, "Crimson Tide" in 1995 and "Unstoppable" in 2010.

Sorry It Got to That.
