About Gerry Scott

Lived 1944 – 2007 (aged 62). Gerry Scott was a British designer.

Gerry Scott Foulds (born Geraldine Mary Boldy; 4 November 1944 – 25 April 2007) was an English production designer.

Biography Born Geraldine Mary Boldy in Bradford, West Yorkshire, she graduated with qualifications in art from Bradford College and Sunderland College in the late 1960s. She then joined the design department of the BBC, after initially being rejected "because she was a painter and couldn't draw plans"; she learned how to do plans over a six-month period before reapplying for the job.

Awards Scott won two British Academy Television Craft Awards (BAFTAs) after being nominated several times: one in 2000 for Wives and Daughters, and the second in 2002 for The Way We Live Now.

Personal life Boldy was married to the film director and producer Tony Scott, whom she had met when they were both students at Sunderland College, from 1967 to 1974. She described her marriage to Scott as "traumatic, wild, and crazy, but the very best", and the two remained friends following their divorce.

She married Archie Foulds, her partner of over ten years, in June 2006. She had no children.
