Remembering a Class Act, If There Ever Was One

Janson Media today fondly remembers Hollywood icon Gregory Peck on what would have been his 94th birthday. A multifaceted man involved in everything from politics to film, it was his Academy Award winning role as Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird that earned him the most acclaim. The San Diego native went on to also receive numerous Golden Globe Awards and was named one the Greatest Male Stars of All Time by The American Film Institute in 1999. Peck's finest moments were captured in the comprehensive Janson Media film Gregory Peck: His Own Man. Taken from the company's own Hollywood Collection, His Own Man is currently available to both DVD and Television markets.

In Gregory Peck: His Own Man, one of Hollywood"s most enduring and popular stars draws on his memories to tell the amusing and touching story of how it was when the studios ruled supreme, and a shy and inarticulate boy from a broken family could rise to superstardom to become one of the most handsome, attractive and respected of movie leading men.

Unfashionably modest in these days of hard-hitting self-aggrandizement, Peck takes us with him on this long and fascinating journey from early theater roles, through his first film parts up to today. This entertainment special uses clips from Peck"s most important movies including The Keys of the Kingdom, To Kill a Mockingbird, Spellbound, Duel in the Sun, The Guns of Navarone, MacArthur, The Boys From Brazil - and interviews with Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minnelli, Anthony Quinn, Jack Lemmon, Lauren Bacall, directors Robert Mulligan and J. Lee Thompson, and Peck"s son Stephen.
