Tony Scott, the director of Top Gun, died Sunday at age 68, his publicist has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly, a site I used to be subscribed to. According to the Los Angeles Police Department’s harbor division, the British-born filmmaker jumped to his death from the Vincent Thomas bridge near Long Beach, California.
According to officials, the Scott climbed a fence on the south side of the bridge and leapt off around 12:30 p.m. Police reportedly found a suicide note inside his black Toyota, which was parked on the bridge. His identity was confirmed around 7 p.m. by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. Those unfortunate news were brought to my attention by imdb.

Donna W. Scott, his third and last wife
Tony Scott graduated from the Royal College Of Art In London, and is a partner with Ridley Scott, in Scott Free Productions. He used to like dogs and has had a romantically adventure with Brigitte Nielsen at a time they were both married. He used to be 1.69 meters tall. He met his third and last wife with whom he had two kids, Donna W. Scott, on set of Days of Thunder, like Tom Cruise. He generally liked tall blond women. A lot of others in Hollywood, are worse directors than Tony Scott.
