Title: Gregory Peck passed away
Post by: Thud on June 13, 2003, 05:20:59 AM: Remember seeing him in 'To kill a mockingbird', an impressive movie and one impressive actor. And not only on screen, although most of you probably won't take kindly to his political opinions :D , he was a very social, active and involved person.

And the guns of Navarone of course :)

S!

CNN did about 10 seconds on him and 10 minutes on Brinkley - figures

I have been to more than one management training seminars that used Peck's performance in 12 O'clock High as an example of using the appropriat management style for the appropriate occasion.

Excellent Movie.

I think of all his movies, I liked "The Big Country" the most, or, at least a tie with "12 O'Clock High".

Post by: rpm on June 13, 2003, 02:04:46 PM: I agree with Apache. Those were definitly his best performances. To Kill A Mockingbird was a huge social statement, so it garnered more press. Eagler, don't go ragging on CNN because David Brinkley got more airtime. In the Grand Scheme of things, he accomplished more with his life.

lol... even Peck said TKaM was the greatest role of his life. It is a classic novel turned into an equally classic movie.

This link outlines the movie very well.

TKaM was also Robert Duval's first film role as none other than "Boo Radley."

Gregory Peck and Harper Lee

Post by: mietla on June 14, 2003, 10:28:58 PM: My most favorite actor. When I was watching his movies long, long time ago and far, far away, not knowing that I'll ever see the good old USA, he was to me "a typical American".

I loved everything about him, his looks, his acting and man, his voice...

I'm gonna miss him.
