Talented and enduring Academy Award-winning star, Gregory Peck, tells how it was when the studios ruled and a shy boy from a broken family could rise to become a famous leading man. Unfashionably modest, Peck describes his fascinating journey from early theater roles, through his first films, and on to becoming Hollywood's elder statesman. This profile is illustrated with clips from his most important movies including The Keys of the Kingdom, To Kill a Mockingbird, Spellbound, The Guns of Navarone, MacArthur, and The Boys from Brazil. Actors Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minnelli, Anthony Quinn, and Jack Lemmon; director Robert Mulligan; and Peck's son, Stephen, share reminiscences.
