- Gregory Peck .
- Gregory Peck, who has died aged 87, was an actor whose film career emphasised the importance of being earnest. ...
- At 6ft 3in tall, the lanky Peck was a pillar of moral rectitude standing up for decency and tolerance. ... This is the image that most cinema audiences had of him, engendered by performances such as his Oscar-winning portrayal of Atticus Finch, the white lawyer who defends a southern black man on a rape charge in To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) - Peck's own favourite film. ...
- So strong is this image of Peck that his few honourable attempts at comedy, and his less successful portrayals of the baddie, are often forgotten. ... Perhaps his chiselled good looks worked against him, but Peck's best roles were as more complex variations of his honest liberal persona. ...
- Director Henry King mined these characteristics best in 12 O'Clock High (1949), with Peck as a war-weary airforce officer, and in The Gunfighter (1950), in which, sporting a moustache for the first time, he played an ageing gunfighter who wants to renounce violence but whose past makes him a target for every young killer on the make. Alfred Hitchcock also used Peck effectively in Spellbound (1945), where his outward solidity masks a serious phobia. ...
- He was born Eldred Peck in La Jolla, California, the son of a chemist. ...
- There he enrolled at the Neighborhood Playhouse as Gregory Peck. ...
- I've been trying to straighten out that story for years," Peck explained. ...
- Peck made his Broadway debut as a young doctor in Emlyn Williams's wartime drama The Morning Star (1942), with Gladys Cooper. The New York Times critic wrote, "Peck plays with considerable skill, also avoiding in his acting the romantic tosh of the writing. ...
- But he was nominated for an Oscar for his second film, The Keys Of The Kingdom (1944); based on the AJ Cronin novel, it gave Peck the chance to exude righteousness as a simple Catholic priest in China. ...
- Peck continued to define decency in The Valley Of Decision (1945), as the scion of a mine-owning family who marries the maid (Greer Garson) against his parents' wishes, and as the stern, but loving, father in The Yearling (1946). In Gentleman's Agreement (1947), he had the archetypal Peck role as a journalist posing as a Jew to investigate American anti-semitism. ...
