Gregory Peck entered movies in brooding, handsome, troubled roles, and emerged as one of the United States most treasured movie stars, representing conviction, decency, intelligence, and moral fortitude. He wowed audiences with his strong physique and suave good looks, and, with four Oscar nominations and one Oscar win, the critical establishment did not fail to acknowledge his talents as an actor.

He made his big-screen debut in 1944, as a resistance fighter in Days of Glory, and then won his first Academy Award nomination for his second film role in the same year, as a priest in The Keys of the Kingdom. Peck went on to star - mostly as the good guy hero - in more than 60 movies. After worthy performances in Cape Fear (1962), Spellbound (1945), Roman Holiday (1953), and Moby Dick (1956), he stoically faced the end of the world in On the Beach (1959), and won the war in The Guns of Navarone (1961). But it was his role as the small town defense lawyer Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) that finally won him an Oscar for Best Actor.

Peck remained a star into old age, and also stuck around to do cameos in remakes of his earlier vehicles Cape Fear (1991) and Moby Dick (1998). He always chose his roles with great care. Also noted for being civic-minded, for his Roman Catholic faith, and for his liberal politics, he served as president of the Academy Awards body, and was active in the Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund, American Cancer Society, National Endowment for the Arts, and other causes.

He won many awards, including the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1967, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in 1989, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his humanitarian work.

On June 12, 2003, Peck died in his sleep at home from broncho-pneumonia. His wife Veronique was by his side. Peck is entombed in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels mausoleum in Los Angeles, California. His eulogy was read by Brock Peters, whose character, Tom Robinson, was defended by Peck's Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.

I just do things I really enjoy. I enjoy acting. When I'm driving to the studio, I sing in the car. I love my work and my wife and my kids and my friends. And I think, "You're a lucky man, Gregory Peck, a damn lucky man."

Every script I'm offered has Cary Grant's paw prints on it.

Oldest son, Jon, committed suicide by gunshot. [1975]

He took in former co-star Ava Gardner's housekeeper and dog after her death in 1990.

Marched with Martin Luther King.

Before he made it big, he supported himself as a Radio City Music Hall tour guide and as a catalog model for Montgomery Ward.

Was the first native Californian to win an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Turned down Gary Cooper's Oscar-winning role as Marshal Will Kane in High Noon (1952) because he felt the story was too similar to his The Gunfighter (1950). When the film proved to be a huge success Peck admitted he had made a mistake, though he said he didn't believe he could have played the character as well as Cooper.

He was a close friend of Michael Jackson for the last 25 years of his life, and often went horse riding with the singer at his Neverland Ranch. During the Jordie Chandler scandal in 1993, Peck wrote a letter defending Jackson. He also gave a glowing video tribute to Jackson at his 30th Anniversary concert in New York in 2001.

Turned down Yves Montand's role in Let's Make Love (1960) because he didn't want to work with Marilyn Monroe

His favorite singers were Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson. He was also a big fan of Elton John.
