MORE INFO:
Gregory Peck is best known for his larger-than-life film roles, particularly as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Synopsis
Born in La Jolla, California, in 1916, Gregory Peck studied pre-med at the University of California, Berkeley. He began acting while in college, and soon after moved to New York to further his interest. After several best actor nominations, Peck eventually won an Oscar for his portrayal of Atticus Finch in
To Kill a Mockingbird
. He also starred opposite Audrey Hepburn in her debut in
Roman Holiday,
as well as many other notable films during his length career. Peck died in Los Angeles in 2003.
Early Life
Gregory Peck was born on  April 5, 1916, in La Jolla, California. His parents, Bernice "Bunny" Mae and Gregory Pearl Peck, separated when he was three and divorced several years later. As their marriage broke apart, young Gregory was primarily raised by his maternal grandmother. At the age of 10, Peck attended St. John’s Catholic Military Academy in Los Angeles before returning to live with his father while attending San Diego High School.
After graduating, Peck enrolled in the pre-med program at the University of California, Berkeley. It was there that he became interested in acting and appeared in several school plays. By the time he graduated in 1939, he had abandoned his plans to become a doctor and headed to New York City to pursue his passion for acting, winning a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse, where he studied with notable instructor Sanford Meisner.
Acting Career
While earning his living working various odd jobs around New York City, in 1942 Peck made his Broadway debut in
The Morning Star
. Though the production was not well received by audiences, Peck earned critical acclaim for his acting and his career began to blossom. Peck also married for the first time, to Greta Kukkonen, with whom he would have three children before their divorce in 1954.
In 1944, Peck landed a role in his first Hollywood film,
Days of Glory
, playing a Russian guerrilla fighter. His fame grew following the film's release and continued to flourish later that year, with
The Keys of the Kingdom
, in which he played a missionary priest and earned his first in a flurry of Academy Award nominations. For his performance as a veteran of the Civil War in
The Yearling
(1946), Peck received his second Oscar nod, followed by a 1948 best-actor nomination for his portrayal of Philip Schuyler Green in Elia Kazan's
Gentleman's Agreement
, a film about a reporter who pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism.
With his notable talents and rugged good looks, Peck quickly established himself as one of the era's top leading men, appearing in numerous other notable films during the 1940s and '50s. Among his most memorable from this period were Alfred Hitchcock's
Spellbound
(1945), the World War II feature
Twelve O'Clock High
(1949)—for which he received his fourth Oscar nomination—and the romantic comedy
Roman Holiday
(1953), in which he starred opposite Audry Hepburn in her big-screen debut. Peck also appeared as Captain Ahab in the 1956 adaptation of Herman Melville's
Moby Dick
.
But what is perhaps Peck's best-known role came in 1962's
To Kill a Mockingbird
, a film based on the acclaimed 1960 novel by Harper Lee For his iconic performance as Atticus Finch, Peck finally won his first Academy Award.
His place as a Hollywood A-lister secure, for the next several decades Peck starred in films across a wide range of genres. Some highlights include the 1962 noir classic
Cape Fear
, popular horror film
The Omen, MacArthur
(1977),
The Boys from Brazil
(1978),
The Sea Wolves
(1980) and
Other People's Money
(1980), to name just a few. Later in his career, Peck also branched out into television work, winning acclaim for his performances in movies and miniseries such as
The Blue and the Gray
and
Moby Dick
, playing the part of the character Father Mapple, this time around.
Activism and Recognition
When he wasn't acting, Peck put his energy toward civic, charitable and political efforts, serving as chairman of the American Cancer Society, a board trustee for the American Film Institute and president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, among other endeavors.
A LITTLE INFO ON THE GEARY THEATER IN SAN FRANCISCO
The beautiful, historic Geary Theater—rising from the rubble of the catastrophic earthquake and fires of 1906 and immediately hailed as the “perfect playhouse”—has been our home since the beginning.
Truly a fixture of our San Francisco community, The Geary Theater is located in the heart of the Union Square shopping and theatrical district, close to public transportation and some of the finest hotels, restaurants, and cultural treasures the city has to offer.
National Register #75000472
Geary Theatre
415 Geary Street Between Mason and Taylor
Built 1910
The Geary Theater opened as the Columbia Theatre. Among those who played the Columbia were Sarah Bernhardt and Isadora Duncan. The theater was renamed the Wilkes Theater, then the Lurie Theater and finally, then the Geary Theater and finally in 2006, the American Conservatory Theater. (Sarah Bernhardt said
theat
re
; ACT says
theat
er
.)
For the next forty years, all the major players of the American stage performed here: George Arliss, Edward G. Robinson, Basil Rathbone, Frederic March, Ethel Barrymore, Ina Claire, Paul Muni, Ethel Waters, Boris Karloff, Paul Robeson, Alfred Lunt, Lynne Fontanne, Katherine Cornell, Cornelia Otis Skinner, and Judith Anderson.
In January 1967, the Geary Theater became the home of the American Conservatory Theater, under the direction of William Ball. In the 1967-1968 season, Mr Ball presented an astounding two dozen productions including Hamlet, Long Day's Journey into Night, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, Tiny Alice, Endgame, and The Crucible.
Fifteen years later on October 17, 1989, the Loma Prieta Earthquake caused major damage to the theater less than two hours before an evening performance. The proscenium arch collapsed, ripping a huge hole in the ceiling and crushing the lighting bridge and the first six rows of orchestra seats beneath tons of fallen plaster, but no one was injured.
