    Mr. Skinner you are a master of your craft. Every video story you produce here is worthy of an Oscar. They are always the best and very tastefully done. Thank you for this tribute about the life of one of the greatest actors to ever appear on screen.

    Yesterday, A young lady called to her son, "Atticus, dont run off !" I instantly thought of Gregory Peck, in the movie, To Kill A Mockingbird.... I had not heard that name in over 50 years, and I smiled instantly and told her there in the Grocery Store that " I haven't heard that name in a lot of years.. and it's a fine name he's got." She replied, thank you
    it was my fathers name..
    I'd almost bet, that he was named after the Atticus , that Millions of US know... Thank you Jerry for the Most Perfect of timing to put this Superb video up for us! It was fantastic!

While each of us have our favorites, the film that had the greatest impact on me was "Captain Horatio Hornblower."

There were so many movies that I'll have to see. Gregory Peck was such a good actor ,with a great voice, he was very handsome too. In Duel in the Sun,or Lust in the Dust. He was so sexy playing a sexy bad boy.Gregory Peck was a hero, helping Richard Jaekel (?) get in the Motion Picture Home and hired his good friend Ava Gardner maid and take care of Ava's dog. He was too good to be alive. Thanks for your video , I really enjoyed it.

    I'm old now, 75. All my life I've loved the movies.
    One day I sat down to make a list my favorite movies and actors. When it came to my favorite actors, only one name kept coming up. It was Gregory Peck. More interesting still, when I realized that he actually starred in over HALF of my favorite dozen films of all time, I knew for certain who was my favorite male star. Here is the list of my favorite Peck movies in no particular order, an incredible accomplishment:
    1) Roman Holiday
    2) To Kill A Mockingbird
    3) On The Beach
    4) The Guns of Navarone
    5) How the West Was Won
    6) Moby Dick
    7) The Omen
    But of all these unforgettable films, my favorite movie OF ALL TIME will forever remain "On The Beach," the most powerful anti-war movie ever made. It never fails to move me, especially now. But only when you take his entire acting career as a whole do you realize what a towering screen figure he truly was. RIP, Greg Peck

    I fell in love with To A Mockingbird when I first read it as a Junior in high school... and read it many more times over the years, falling more in love with it each time and lost in the poetry of words and imagery of the great author, Harper Lee. My ex-husband and I did not have any children, and so, in 2016, when I got myself a puppy, I named him Atticus Frank. The first name for Atticus Finch... and his middle name for one of the greatest men I've ever known: My Grandpa, Frank Fossella.❤

    As always, Jerry Skinner's work is well researched, and very thoughtfully presented; if there is indeed an after-life, he'll be the honored guest at a "Dean Martin MAN OF THE HOUR 'Roast', with Don Rickles' only possible comment being "oh, c'mon, can't you give me someone who at least cheats at cards?"
    When family's of late celebrities come across a "Jerry Skinner Presents" tribute, I hope that at least a few of them make the effort to contact Mr. Skinner - to comment directly to him, as his is some of the best work out there!
    My favorite Gregory Peck moment didn't involve Gregory Peck! That moment took place during the transitioning of Abe Vigoda's "Detective Phillip K. Fish" from "Barney Miller" to the Barney Miller spinoff "Fish", and involved the Steve Landesberg-portrayed character "Detective-Sergeant Arthur P. Dietrich's" interaction with the character portrayed by Barry Gordon, "Charlie", who noticed the extreme similarity "Dietrich's" voice had - to that of the long time - Screen Legend.

    One of my favorite actors. Hard to say which of his movies I like best, but "The Big Country" always comes to mind when he is mentioned. Maybe it's that scene when he and Jean Simmons are at the Hannasey canyon and Rufus asks him why he's come for her: She looks at him and he looks at her and they realize they're both in love with each other. I'm still a sucker for scenes like that one.
    Of course I've always been in love with Jean Simmons, so there's that too.

Thank you very much sir.

  • @JamesVaughan
    @JamesVaughan Год назад +9

    One of your best, Jerry! I love your bios of legendary stars of our classic American films. A few little mistakes, though, it's Charles Bickford, not Charles Pickford, Chuck Connors, not Chuck Connor, and Jean Peters could not possibly have starred in 1958's The Big Country, as by that time she had married Howard Hughes and retired from acting; A Man Called Peter, released in 1955, was her last feature film. I think you meant Jean Simmons. I'm a Southerner myself, so I understand and relate to your wonderful drawl. My late mother was from middle Tennessee and often got a bit mixed up here and there (she'd say "punkin" for pumpkin, and "purnish" for punish - just the tip of the iceberg!) But it made her all the more lovable for us all. Keep doing what you're doing, Jerry, and don't ever change!
