Item Description

Description
Winner of the 1962 Best Actor Oscar for his role as Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird”, this stamp is part of the USPS _Legends of Hollywood_ series.

The GREGORY PECK (FOREVER®)
stamp, 17th in the Legends of Hollywood series, honors one of America's
most respected actors. Gregory Peck (1916-2003) appeared in more than
60 films during a remarkable career that stretched from the Golden Age
of Hollywood to the emergence of independent filmmaking. For the stamp
portrait, art director Phil Jordan chose a still image from _To Kill A Mockingbird_
(1962), with Peck in his Oscar-winning role as Atticus Finch. The
selvage features a photograph of Peck holding his Academy Award.

Although he played a wide variety of memorable roles throughout his career—devoted priest in _The Keys of the Kingdom_ (1944), wayward cowboy in _Duel in the Sun_ (1946), passionate young journalist in _Gentleman's Agreement_ (1947), commander of a demoralized World War II bomber squadron in _Twelve O'Clock High_ (1949), love-struck reporter in _Roman Holiday_ (1953), Captain Ahab in _Moby Dick_
(1956)—Peck always grounded his performance in a keen intelligence and
innate authenticity that illuminated the screen. His natural elegance
and searing integrity impressed critics from the start and endeared him
to generations of moviegoers.

Nominated five times for the
Academy Award for Best Actor, Peck won the Oscar for his performance as
defense attorney Atticus Finch in _To Kill A Mockingbird_, a
character that Peck said was closest to his own heart. I put everything I
had into it, he explained, all my feelings and everything I'd learned
in 46 years of living, about family life and fathers and children, and
my feelings about racial justice and inequality and opportunity.

Based
on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, the film tells the
story of Atticus's defense of a black man falsely accused of raping a
white woman. The film earned eight Academy Award nominations, countless
international honors, and the Best Actor Oscar for Peck. In 2003, the
American Film Institute (AFI) ranked Atticus Finch the number one movie
hero in American film history.

In 1969, Peck received the
Presidential Medal of Freedom as an artist who had brought new dignity
to the actor's profession, and in 1970, he received the Screen Actors
Guild award for outstanding achievement in fostering the ideals of the
acting profession. Other honors include the AFI Life Achievement Award
in 1989, the Kennedy Center Honors in 1991, and the National Medal of
Arts in 1998.

The Gregory Peck stamp is being issued as a
Forever® stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current
First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
