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. 🙂
I would be saddened to learn if Peck wasn’t a good man. I believe he was an excellent actor.

I agree, Russ!
I loved Peck in To Kill a Mocking Bird. This eulogy is fitting. Wow. ::-)
I agree, Tess. I’d love see a clip of the eulogy or read what was said.
Russ
