Pippa Scott: Fun to Watch in every part she played

Pippa IMDB

I've watched her in so many shows including Perry Mason episodes and the Fugitive.  She has a voice you can't forget and what wonderful facial expressions.  She has great energy at all moments on screen.

In this episode the Fugitive titled The Garden House she plays a schemer and does it exceptionally well.

Here is Pippa in an Episode of the Waltons.  What a voice.

Another part that was outside of her range of characters that she normally played was as a Marine Captain in Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. in an episode titled "Captain Ironpants."

The title was to describe the character that Pippa Scott played in this episode.

I watched it tonight and found it difficult to see how Pippa restrained herself to become a Marine since I am so used to her delightful energy level.  She made up for it by being a hard case Marine who periodically yelled and in particular yelled at Gomer.  As usual, it had a pleasant ending where Gomer had somehow by his simple and innocent nature found a way to change this Marine Captain's outlook.  Many of his actions would be considered quaint and even sexist by today's standards but his overall demeanor seems to blunt this criticism.  Remind yourself that this was filmed in the 1960's and just enjoy the innocence of it.
