A Fitting Tribute to a Great Man

Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book and movie character. He is a model of manhood to me. (And he was created by a woman.)

Atticus was powerfully portrayed by Gregory Peck, who said it was his favorite role of his career.

I just read that Brock Peters read Gregory Peck’s eulogy. Mr.Peters is the actor who played the man Atticus defended in To Kill a Mockingbird.

What  fitting tribute to a great man.

With Love,

Russ

    Great way to give tribute to a fine actor and book character, too. Gregory Peck seemed like the kind and respectable man he portrayed on-screen. 🙂

  2. I loved Peck in To Kill a Mocking Bird. This eulogy is fitting. Wow. ::-)
