Frank Sinatra
Sophia Loren
Gregory Peck .
Only legends on that stage
Sinatra was only a legend in his own mafia wannabe mind
Hollywood doesn't make actors like him anymore. A pure gentleman 😊
Peck and Sinatra funded terrorism.
Gregory Peck: a beautiful man with a beautiful voice.
True
Mary Cage he was so handsome
I told someone that :.Gregory Peck reminded me of Superman,IF he stayed Clark Kent all day.
Gregory Peck getting an Oscar for acting in a film is a joke. But he deserved it for every film he acted. Why? In every film he is Gregory Peck, not the character. Very few people had ever achieved that distinction. I loved it
Mary Cage. He is a handsome man with manly voice!
one of the most decent men hollywood ever produced
Yeah , and the way the world is going, if we are lucky , we'll have to wait a LONG time before we see another like him ! :(
Truer words were never spoken. A legend.
He is my favourite actor. I absolutely adore everything he did. Atticus Finch is my hero
Indeed
Not only a great man and a great actor but a wonderful role model. Who can forget his performance in the Guns of Navarone! He was perfect in that role.
Today is Gregory Peck's 100th Birthday, so I figured I would say thanks to one of the best actors in movie history.
Golly,I just loved him.
Being a man.....I say Gregory Peck was so damn "MANLY MASCULINE"
A wooden actor.
Gregory Peck - class all the way.
You nailed it! He has class all the way his voice is so soothing and sometimes when I can't sleep and I've had too much of the harshness of this present day world I put on my To Kill a Mockingbird DVD almost like a lullaby a quiet soothing almost instructional like where it could be helping like a leading one's life and I like the Simplicity Simplicity and the profound debility like a lullaby to help calm the nerves at night and ground me if I need that. To Kill a Mockingbird helps me to recognize the difference between the men and the boys still a decent men out there. I've been lucky in my life to meet them but when I hear stories I just want to remind the people I've some of my favorite actors that aspiring characters and one of them is Gregory Peck in the movie To Kill a Mockingbird
That whole era did nothing but exude class as compared to the losers of today’s Hollywood
alexander usyk
What exactly are you saying
alexander usyk typical liberal crybaby lol
Noble character he has!
He makes most stars today look like preening man-children.
Yes: where in the *hay* are the Robert Ryans, Clark Gables & Walter Hustons anymore?
Perhaps in those days movie making was a serious business!
I hope you agree with me Lawrence Arabia well he wants best actor best director in me but more. Peter 0 ,, toole Panama Jack nothing two layer on in the Life Achievement Award he don't got something wow about time
As they are
And Henry fonda
Without a doubt this must have been one of the most difficult choices in Oscar history.
amen!when I hear that list I always think of a 4 way tie and Peck coming in by a vote or 2 over the others...the NO doubt he was absolutely outstanding in what is my opinion of the perfect movie but geez Lemmon O'Toole Lancaster and Mastroianni (sorry can't spell his name!)were just in a word....wow!
+ohwell94 Your spelling was perfect.
That roster of fellow nominees, not just who but thisecspecific roles, each arguably a career high note, makes his oscar one of the most meaningful
How rich the movies of the times were when you hear that list of lead actors and their movies.
Eklis Zebeli Peck gave a stellar performance as Atticus Finch. He flat out killed it. Mastroiani was a fine actor but second rate to Peck .
Just watched this film for the first time.. he was truely Atticus Finch... and walking down the aisle to accept the award he still embodied the character.. don't make actors like him anymore. Pure class.
My favorite film ever, what a decent man
He was a Stalinist Communist.
@JamesRichards-mj9kw only in your sick mind!
I always thought Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch is one of the most understated roles in film. It seems he plays in the shadows and lets the children tell the story, and that's the way it should be. But it takes a GOOD, SOLID actor to be able to play a role in the shadows and still make that role shine like he did. To me, he IS Atticus Finch!
AMEN! In why Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch won the OSCAR. He played Atticus Finch to PERFECTION!!! Beautifully done Greg!
underrated
MD A - He played it as he should - with subtlety and class.
MD A Why do you say "underrated"?
Hallie Harker I second that.
My God his voice is golden.
Right. I admired him in Guns of Navarone.
Oh, that voice just melts me!!!!!
I love how Sophia says “la busta perfavore” CHAOTIC ITALIAN RIGHT THERE
Auro 82 a bit attention getter, I might say , not that she needed it, but always found her a bit arrogant.
@@mona2242 Oh, please. It was a cute moment to say "The envelope please..." in Italian. Translate this: Tira fuori il bastone dal tuo culo.
Just a great actor & a real gentleman. It's interesting to see the old Oscar ceremonies - they were shorter, less of a spectacle, more respectful & the winners didn't take themselves so seriously - most acceptance speeches were less than a minute long. Today's Hollywood could & should take a leaf from that book!
They were hardly more respectful with Sinatra's remarks being both sexist and racist.
+Cleatus Sweetspot What would you expect from Sinatra? He was an extremely talented thug.
He and were Sophia Loren were both Italian.
His remarks were not racist, in fact they were self-deprecating because he himself was Italian and very proud of his Italian heritage. Perhaps you have given us an example of why it really was better back then .... because today people (like you) are too quick to take offence for no reason.
Helenaville- I completely agree with your comment. People today take offense to things for no reason and it’s absolutely ridiculous. Has anyone ever thought of the damage you could be doing by just saying “that’s racist” when it’s not racist? What people don’t understand is that when people say that for things that aren’t racist, but just rude or mean remarks, it brings everyone’s guard up. People slowly start believing that things that aren’t racist are in fact racist.
(Note: this isn’t all about racist comments it applies to all derogatory statements)
Our society claims to be all about accepting people who are different, but how can we believe that when they keep pointing out negative things people may or may not have said.
People need to start being positive. Only then will people truly feel accepted as they are.
Agree with me or don’t, that’s your choice
And this was why Peter O'Toole didn't win for Lawrence of Arabia. Not that he didn't deserve it, but because it was too difficult between him and Gregory Peck. Imagine if Peter had won, the whole world now would complain how Gregory Peck never won an Oscar… there really was no way around this
Peter OToole should have won! More difficult longer hours in role as L of Arabia! Like Gregory Peck but he played upright good man in role as he was in life; not a stretch! My opinion!!
O'Toole's debut was phenomenal -- Lemmon's intensity was amazing -- and who can knock Marcello's comic vibe and Lancaster's steadiness? But this was more than a performance. Peck's Atticus Finch was a standard of decency for all time. He was the real thing. Got me to go to law school.
Uhm, Lawrence of Arabia is not O'Toole's debut, he had 3 movies in 1960. His performance in The Day They Robbed the Bank of England led him to be cast as Lawrence.
5. OToole
4. Lancaster
3. Mastroainni
2. Peck
1. Lemmon
for me
Got me to go to law school too, but I left after one year. Too much corporate and contract law. I knew I could never be an Atticus Finch..........he was one of a kind.
O’Toole became my favorite actor of all time. And Marcello Mastroianni had the same birthday as me!
At the time though, I was happy Peck won. But having seen all the other movies since then, I really do think he won by a squeak. Lancaster and Lemmon were also great. Oh and I did get to interview Jack many years later in the set of Airport ‘77. A genuinely nice guy.
It was a stacked lineup for sure
Gregory Peck...one of the classiest actors ever to grace the screen.
I love him in Roman Holiday. It's like his voice alone cuddles you
Yes that was such a good movie. It was kinda sad at the end though.
Thats my favourite film.
The actress Mary Badham, who played Scout, said that Gregory was pretty much Atticus in real life. She said he was like a father to her during filming and for the rest of her life. Gregory at one time pondered the Roman Catholic priesthood. I'm going to be selfish here and say I am rather glad he chose an acting career. His voice in this Oscar clip is so strong, crisp and clear. I'm so fortunate to have come along during his lifetime: and that the movie camera was available to record this marvelously talented man...so we can enjoy him in perpetuity, on you tube.
EmpressOfWyoming58 I feel exactly the same. Fantastic man. Just watched, the guns of NAVARONE, the million pound note,to kill a Mocking bird and the boys from Brazil. Class.
If you like his voice, you can listen to his desert island discs with Kirsty Young on BBC radio 4. Just type "Gregory Peck, desert island discs BBC radio 4"
IT'S a podcast, but an interview he did TALKING about his life and the 8 pieces of music he would choose if he was stranded on a desert island.
EmpressOfWyoming58
The actress Mary Badham was his daughter.
Loved Gregory Peck! Great actor and human being( very rare in Hollywood)!!
fluorosco The first movie Gregory Peck was ever nominated for an Oscar for was in 1944 and he played as a priest, it’s called The Keys of the Kingdom.
I did not know Mr. Peck had considered the priesthood. One of my favorite, but lesser known films of his (I believe it was made for TV) was called "The Scarlet and the Black." He played an Irish priest who helped save Jewish people in Rome during WWII; his nemesis was played by Christopher Plummer. He infused his character with humor, strength, and dignity-quintessential Peck!
I've seen "To Kill a Mockingbird" a few times now, and Gregory deserved that Oscar 100 percent.
C.J. O'Dell So true
1000%
A classic performance, well deserved award. The whole film was perfection, and let's not forget Robert Duvall was in it.
Yeah.. Boo Radley ^^
You said it!
One of my favorite movies with Gregory Peck as well as Roman Holiday.. I bought both through Amazon..
Any of the nominees of that era would be worthy winners, when actors could ACT and deliver lines expertly.
They were real STARS.
No matter what other people say, for me Pecks perfomance in "mockingbird" is one of the best performances i have ever seen. Deserved Oscar. I love the movie and his wonderful performance.
The most handsome actor of all times. He had it all , good looks, hight , gorgeous mesmerising voice, personality so on n on n on
I know, he was pure class, unlike most of the actors today,
How come speeches now from winners are so long, dull and worth nothing. M. Peck had class, charm, beauty.
Gregory Peck was a handsome fella.
Gregory Peck was born to play this role. One of the best films I've ever seen. ♡♡♡
I think Gregory Peck "WAS" Atticus Finch....and this movie is pure gold !!
I'm actually crying while watching this
EXACTLY! Just why I love it so much! They cut many scenes (would've been like 4 hours long otherwise) and still achieved to capture the escence of this amazing story!
Odette Gonzalez oh wow I had no idea about that! I wish they could release that too lol I would love to watch it.
Great casting. I read the book before I saw the movie and I would say that the casting was perfect.
Singing Diaries yes, I taught TKaM. for over 20 yrs to grade 11 students, then asked them to draw a parallel between the novel and the movie. There were some minor elements missing in the plot but not when it came to making a character analysis of Atticus vs Peck. He absolutely nailed it. I truly believe he played himself .
When reading the book I pictured Atticus exactly like him..it was a delightful surprise to find out he performed the character! Outstanding!
People gave really succinct speeches back in the day. Gregory Peck, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier.... all of them....
utter class and manhood.
Sophia Loren was one the worlds most beautiful Women who walked this earth .
She's still alive though lol
As a young kid I saw her in More than a Miracle , and fell in love with her . Puppy love LOL
Is, not was.
Smart and Classy too. .
@@finddeniro a real star
Incredible year. Peter O'Toole would have been my choice, he was remarkable in Lawrence, but Peck also gave an all time performance.
There is literally no one else on the planet that could’ve embodied Atticus Finch as perfectly as Gregory Peck did
Truly a phenomenal, towering, and awe inspiring performance that has deeply affected countless people over so many generations. Peck deserved every single vote he got
My mother and I had the great pleasure of meeting Gregory Peck and his wife in the 1980s. He is one of my heroes. He said at that time that playing Atticus Finch was, for him, the proudest moment of his career, and that role is the one for which he wanted most to be remembered. I think he got his wish.
Actors/actress of that generation were so sublime and regal I love it...
There should have been two oscars, one for Peck and the other for O´Toole
This.
Wow. I never realized the acting performances he was up against.
Why do today's actors fail to exude such grace and elocution in their verbal skills when accepting an award?
He had some serious competition, my god, I'd gave the oscar to all of them ex aequo
He was the perfect Atticus Finch... glad he won. that's one of my favorite books, and movies.
I loved Peck in a film he wasn't overly happy with....1961 The Guns of Navarone. One of the top 5 war films
I looooove this movie
the gentleman of Hollywood and the most complete actor
Morgan Freeman was starstruck by this man. That should speak for itself
Gregory Peck deserved to win. Jack Lemon's performance in "Days Of Wine And Roses" was outstanding also.
Bill Jones *cough* Peter O'Toole *cough*
+Liam Griffin You'd better take something for that.
Why do I find myself biting my lip and blushing whenever Greg comes on acreen? Holy smokes, I'm 13!
👏👏👏👏great actor atractive , gentleman, and has voice is beautiful !!
Mr. Peck was magnificent in "To Kill A Mockingbird. I never tire of watching the movie.
Frank Sinatra - Sophia Loren - Burt Lancaster - Jack Lemmon - Marcello Mastroianni - Peter O'Toole - Gregory Peck = What a lineup! A Royal Flush has nothing on it.
Wow what competition he had. All excellent performances
Agreed. Very strong year for best actor!
Amen!!!
Gregory Peck is Atticus Finch! I would like to seek out and watch other performances.
Watch Twelve O'Clock High. Great performance by Peck
@@bman560 Gentleman's Agreement!
@@jamesalexander5623 Watched it last week. next is Valley of Decision
Mr Gregory Peck "is" a legend of the cinema,...this oscar was very well deserved, for his brilliant and exciting performance... Great, Mr peck.
His performance still powerful amazing film. He was so handsome.
My dream man 😍
Hollywood' s most handsome movie star I love him👍💋🍷
A true gentleman, great actor,a very humble and down to earth person,Gregory Peck Sir,you were the greatest.
I studied To Kill a Mockingbird for English Literature at 15 and absolutely fell in love with the book so when we had finished reading it in class and my teacher decided to bring in the film to let us watch it, I REALLY didn't want to as I had a picture in my head of every character and what I thought they looked like and I didn't want to ruin my own fantasy with a film.
Luckily enough my favourite character, Atticus Finch, was played by this gorgeous man who I sort of fell in love with after seeing the film. I came home swooning to my mother about how handsome the man playing Atticus was and she told me his name and said she thought he was pretty decent too!
Everyone in my class thought I was insane because I was the only one that enjoyed the book and the film, as a result when we read the book out loud in class my teacher made me do all the reading towards the end as no one else cared or was interested as to what happened. When we got towards the end and we got to the part where Scout says 'Hey Boo' I burst into tears and when it got to that moment in the film I burst into tears too and every year I read it I STILL cry.
Thsnx for charing your story
The best looking man ever and a great actor
Greg s true man
Definitely Peck's finest work. His Addicus Finch is a thing to cherish. Still, I'm not sure I wouldn't have voted for Lemmon that year for Days of Wine and Roses. One of the best drunks ever. The scene in which he demolishes a greenhouse searching for his hidden booze, then ends up holding it like a baby bottle as he drinks is ingenious and haunts me to this day.
well said;D
I thought Lemon was nominated for his performance in “The Apartment “ ?
That was a tough choice. Lemmon was memorable, O'Toole was great. In the past few decades its been so hard to decide which is "best". Mary Tyler Moore or Sissy Spacek? Sean Penn or Mickey Rourke? Everyone loves Peck for his nice guy image and voice. I personally liked him as a villain in "The Boys from Brazil".
Wow, the competition for the best actor award was I think one of the best ever- Peter O'Toole,Jack Lemon , and Burt Lancaster were 3 of the greatest actors of all time, and their performances this year, would have won in any other year !
He had some tough competition that year!
i feel extremely happy when i watch this video, my most favorite actor, a legend, a handsomest person, Gregory Peck.....who was the real perfectionist, will be always be a spiritual icon who will stand for everything which is best!
This is one of those instances where I REALLY wish that the vote from the Academy members ended in a tie.
Gregory Peck, who was already a well established high-profile actor gave an absolutely outstanding performance as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird which the Academy, finally after many years and four previous nominations, awarded him an Oscar for. It’s probably one of the most legendary performances by any actor that has ever been put on film.
However, Peter O’Toole, who was still relatively new on film and only starred in three movies prior, gave an absolutely masterful performance in Lawrence of Arabia, the role that forever cemented him as an acting legend. He completely embodied everything about T. E. Lawrence and channeled all his thoughts, beliefs, internal and external conflicts to the screen flawlessly. The movie itself was a sweeping epic, but it wouldn’t have worked nearly as well without him at the center.
It’s such a shame that O’Toole’s been snubbed by the Academy many times over. He was severely robbed in 1968 for another masterpiece of a performance he did as Henry II in The Lion in Winter, he lost to Cliff Robertson for his fairly decent but not nearly as Oscar-worthy of a performance for the so-so film Charly, which is absolutely pitiful. And yet Katharine Hepburn ended up winning her third Best Leading Actress Oscar that year for her performance in The Lion in Winter, and of all the odds, ended up winning in a tie with Barbra Streisand for her performance in Funny Girl.
I wish both Gregory Peck and Peter O’Toole tied for the win for Best Leading Actor in the year of 1962 for their incredible and outstanding work in To Kill a Mockingbird and Lawrence of Arabia.
It would’ve been two of the most deserving wins in the history of the Academy for the same year in the exact same category, and everyone would’ve been happy instead of constantly bickering about which one was better and deserved it more.
Nevertheless, 1962 was truly an outstanding year in cinema, with two of some of the greatest films of all time coming out that year.
Boy do I miss him! The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit.
Loved that movie and all of his movies.
@@xr2863How about The Big Country, that was a fantastic film !!!!!
Wow, the best actor lineup in 1963 was Peck, OToole, Lancaster, Mastroianni, and Lemmon. I don't think I've seen a lineup that strong ever. And we're not likely to see one like it in our lifetimes.
It should have been a tie where both O’Toole and Peck won!
Holy cow what competition. Any one of them may have won in another year. But Peck was brilliant in TKAMB
Gregory Peck held Harper Lee’s father’s pocket watch as he won that Oscar.
And on top of being a smart handsome actor, he was a hard core liberal all his life! Win win in my book.
Pure class. Such an actor and gentleman. Well deserved Oscar for an iconic role that will live forever.
Gregory Peck simply IS Atticus Finch.
what a line up at the '63 Oscars! all their films were classics. however did the academy chose between them?
Go Atticus!
Actors in hollow wood today can only dream........ to have 1 ounce the class of Mr. Peck.
that music gets me every time
Faith Burke Me too :-)
Faith Burke Me too :-)
Anyone of them would have been the right choice!
so handsome, and beautiful speaking voice 💗. and sophia ? what a beauty !
Perfect example of a good award speech. A quick modest thank you. So many actors nowadays ramble for so long, and act like they're royalty
Well said. I've seen some performers give acceptance speeches that were embarrassing to watch and listen to. Another example of the right way to accept an award was Louise Fletcher when she won for her role in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"; it was a beautiful speech in which she honored her deaf parents who could see but not hear her.
Omg he was so handsome❤️🥰😘
Atticus Finch was my hero, my idol, my role model in childhood - I wanted to grow up into a man like him. I was afraid the movie would ruin the images the book created in my mind. But Gregory Peck was just perfect. A gentleman in real life too.
Whenever Sinatra presented at the Oscars, he always had to make it about himself. Check out when he presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Cary Grant. It's not about you, Frank.
oh shuttup
barry morgenstein make me
Lynn Turman You are wrong:(
+Lynn Turman Wonderful actor, great singer, but pretty horrible person.
The golden time of Hollywood. Sinatra the voice.SOPHIA LOREN the italian beauty.and Gregory peck the most classy STAR.a real moments of artistic glory
When they play the theme for TKAM, I'm dead: cry like a baby!!: such a wonderful picture and a great performance by Mr. Peck
Me too. Just hearing the beginning notes and I bawl.
Back when the Oscars meant something.
Brilliant performance
Wow - really great actors in great movies all of the nomenies
Speeches were so much more concise and to the point back then
I saw him first in Duel in the Sun. And he was the ultimate cowboy.
Class all the way!
When if ever again we will never have five movies each worthy of an award
All the actors and their movies nominated were light years Ahead of the crap we’ve had in the last fifty rears from Hollywood!
I was 19 years old and in a watch store in Geneva, Switzerland in 1974 and I was looking carefully at the watches in a glass case and all of a sudden I heard a familiar voice behind me. It sounded like Gregory Peck. I turned around and it was Gregory Peck looking at watches. What surprised me is I so instantly recognized his rather unique voice.
An American treasure. :)
Such a beautiful humble man
One of the BEST! Mr. Gregory Peck
He deserved the award all the way for his portrayal of Atticus Finch!
Wow, strong year, every one of those names deserves an award.
what a legend Gregory Peck is and when does an actor thank the press nowadays? those were the days
I love him in Roman Holiday. It's like his voice alone cuddles you
One of the best actors ever. Today there are no actors like the classic
There are not men like him anymore ❤
Today Commemorates Gregory Peck's 100th Birthday
