Born Geraldine Mary Boldy in Bradford, West Yorkshire, she graduated with qualifications in art from Bradford College and Sunderland College in the late 1960s. She then joined the design department of the BBC, after initially being rejected "because she was a painter and couldn't draw plans";[1] she learned how to do plans over a six-month period before reapplying for the job.[2]
In 2002, Scott was diagnosed with a brain tumour which affected her vision; she nonetheless continued working after radical surgery, on an adaptation of Anthony Trollope's He Knew He Was Right. She died from the brain tumour in 2007.[2]
Boldy was married to the film director and producer Tony Scott, whom she had met when they were both students at Sunderland College, from 1967 to 1974. She described her marriage to Scott as "traumatic, wild, and crazy, but the very best", and the two remained friends following their divorce.[1]
She married Archie Foulds, her partner of over ten years, in June 2006.[1] She had no children.
