Playboy Interview with George C. Scott: December 1980 Issue

Killing Patton, on the New York Times Best Seller list for over 5 months, focuses on the final year of World War II and the December 1945 death - accident or assassination??? - of General George Patton.

George C. Scott starred in the 1970 movie Patton, which won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

So, when I noticed "George C. Scott Interviewed:  A Probing Conversation with the Last Angry Man in Show Business" on the cover of the December 1980 issue of Playboy, I had to check it out.
