I'm sorry, I just can't let this story slip by everyone who may have missed it. Yesterday the famed and beloved actory Gregory Peck died at the age of 87. I am unsure of the exact causes, but I assume it was old age. His wife told reporters that he passed away peacefully.

This is very sad, but I am happy that he lived a full life. 87 years is a fine age. He is my mother's favorite actor.

If some of you have never seen his work or are unaware of who he is, I highly recommend "Roman Holiday" in which he stars with the ever so beautiful Audrey Hepburn :love:. I also recommend seeing him in "To Kill A Mockingbird," "The Guns of Navarone," and the original "Cape Fear." They were all excellent films.

At the risk of sounding morbid, David Brinkley also passed away, and they say that these things come in threes ...
 
In fact, his character in "To Kill A Mockingbird" was just recently voted the number one screen hero of all time....although I forget just who it was they polled.

Peck was one of those guiys for me that I would watch older movies just because he was in them when I was a kid because I loved THAT movie so much.
 
He has finally gone to the Big Country. :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
RIP, Greg. A very fine actor, a true loss. But as Jim Morrison once put it: "No one gets outta here alive".

RIP. :(
 
A true gentleman, who will be remembered.
