Just read on the news that Gregory Peck passed away last night. He was 87. One of my favorites from the great days of movies, handsome and such a great actor. He was absolutely brilliant in "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Anyone else have memories of this Hollywood legend?
I just heard about his passing about an hour ago. Now there was a true Hollywood STAR (and legend). The other night on television AFI (American Film Institute) had a program of the 100 top Villians and Heros in film history. Number one hero was Gregory Peck's character in To Kill A Mockingbird.... he was brilliant ... it's hard to see them get old and die, but truly, the great ones films will live forever.
How sad..
To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my favorites, What a handsome, and sweet man... I am heartbroken.
Another person that knows what life is all about, now he passed away!
Atticus Finch was definitely one of those great characters in Hollywood cinema history. Caring and compassionate as a widower with his two children, yet defending a black man accused of a crime he didn't do.
Remember a young Robert Duvall as Boo Radley? "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a favorite of many, and Gregory Peck will indeed be with us forever...
I love old Gregory Peck movies. To Kill A Mockingbird and Roman Holiday are my favorite movies of his.
He was such a Classy Man on screen and off screen as well.
First David Brinkley, now Gregory Peck; I'm bummed.

I would watch anything with Gregory Peck in it!
Yes, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Roman Holiday were great films.
<sigh>
I will always remember him as Captain Hornblower...brilliant. (cough, cough)
And my mum was a great fan of his, used to swoon over his appearances. A superb actor who will be missed.
One of my favourite novels and movies. Gregory Peck was indeed very unique.
To Kill A Mockingbird: best movie of 1962
Another great movie, although it did not have Mr. Peck, was Carey Grant's: North By Northwest.
Yes, I just noticed David Brinkley passed away also.
