Rest in Peace. I'll always remember you in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his performance in To Kill a Mockingbird.

[HELLRAISER II]

Yes, To kill a Mockingbird was good but I thought the Omen was great.

[HELLRAISER II]

I told my secretary(age 25) that Gregory Peck died and she said who? Damn I must be getting old.

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Better to be "old" and have lived during a much better era in my opinion.

[longhorn too]

It seems with the passing of Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster the only classic actor left is Kirk Douglas.

[HELLRAISER II]

Oh I agree 100%, it's just that i'm 38 and I figured she would know who Gregory Peck was for pete's sake.

Notable TV Guest Appearances

1. "V.I.P.-Schaukel" (1971) playing "Himself" (episode # 2) 30 June 1972

[HELLRAISER II]

Spartacus & War Wagon were two of my favorites with Kirk Douglas, but there's a couple you don't have down Charlton Heston & Clint Eastwood. Clint's not quite as old but he's no spring chicken either, I'll really hate it when my boy Dirty Harry bites the dust.

[annyokie]

My 13 year old knows who Gregory Peck is. We've watched "To Kill a Mockingbird" a hundred times if we/ve watched it once.

[MeekOneGOP]

I told my secretary(age 25) that Gregory Peck died and she said who? Damn I must be getting old.

LOL ! I know what you mean !

[Reagan Man]

Even though Gregory Peck was very liberal, he was a one of the finest actors ever. Peck received top billing from his first movie roll.

The first time my parents took me to a premiere movie release, was for to the "Guns of Navarone" in 1961. Real sterophonic sound and a blockbuster adventure. Peck was great and along with Anthony Quinn, gave this young child an experience to remember. Other rolls that Peck were great in, "To Kill A Mockingbird", "Gentlemen's Agrrement" and "The Big Country". In the latter film, Peck's fist fight with Charlten Heston was a classic.

RIP Gregory Peck.

[Clemenza]

Bump for one of the last of the pro-life liberals.

[Mr. Silverback]

RIP Gregory. You were one of the best.

[Reagan Man]

There's few of the original actors left from the Golden Age of Hollywood and the list is getting very short.

Glenn Ford, Charton Heston, Karl Malden, Tony Curtis, Van Johnson, Richard Widmark, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, Ernest Borgnine, Ricardo Montalbon, Jerry Lewis, Eddie Albert, Jack Palance, Mickey Rooney, Bob Hope and of course Ronald Reagan.

An era is ending.

[Free_at_last_-2001]

Saw him in the Omen recently - excellent acting!

[Reagan Man]

Peck was pro-life? Didn't know that. May be he wasn't as big a liberal as I thought he was.

[Clemenza]

Yep. Despite his horribly leftist views, he was a lifelong opponent of abortion.

[John Beresford Tipton]

I called out for Starbuck and you brought me coffee?
