Gregory Peck

by Michael Munn

An icon of the silver screen, Gregory Peck is one of those rare actors who can command an audience's attention by his mere presence. This biography tells the story of that man whose career has endured for over 50 years.Peck came to Hollywood during WWII and began his remarkable career by making no less than sixteen films before his screen debut, Days of Glory, had even been seen by the public. He received four Oscar nominations during his first six years in the movies before finally winning for his outstanding performance in To Kill A Mockingbird. Yet, it is his commercial successes in such films as Moby Dick, Duel in the Sun, The Omen and MacArthur, that made him the powerful acting force for several generations.
