Who was Ridley Scott's first wife?

Ridley Scott's first wife was Felicity Heywood.

Scott and Felicity Heywood married in 1964 and remained together until their divorce in 1975. They had two sons, Jake and Luke Scott, both of whom later became directors and worked through Scott's production company, Ridley Scott Associates. Their family connection makes Heywood an important part of Scott's early personal history, even though she was not a public figure in the film industry.

After the divorce, Scott married advertising executive Sandy Watson in 1979. They had a daughter, Jordan Scott, who also became a filmmaker, before divorcing in 1989. Scott later married actress Giannina Facio in 2015.

The most common mix-up is choosing Sandy Watson, because she was Scott's second wife and is also closely associated with his family biography. Anna Scott and Giulia Corradetti are not listed as his wives. Scott's marriages are separate from his long professional partnerships, including his collaboration with his late brother Tony Scott and his work with producer Giannina Facio.
