British director Tony Scott, director of Top Gun and The Taking of Pelham 123, and producer of The Good Wife, among many others, died Sunday. Scott, 68, brother of director Ridley Scott, jumped "without hesitation" to his death off the Vincent Thomas Bridge crossing Los Angeles Harbor at 12:30 p.m., according to coroner's officials. A suicide note was found in his Toyota Prius, parked on the bridge. His body was recovered by a Coast Guard dive team four hours later.
