Offscreen, Scott dedicated herself to human rights. In 1993, she founded the International Monitor Institute, collecting evidence of war crimes in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Cambodia. Her documentary work included The World’s Most Wanted Man (1998) and King Leopold’s Ghost (2006).
After stepping away from acting in the ’70s, she returned for small roles in Footprints (2009) and Automobile (2013). She married producer Lee Rich in 1964, had two daughters, and later reconciled with him before his passing in 2012.
Pippa Scott is survived by her daughters and five grandchildren. Her legacy lives on through her work in film and global justice.
