You know we love a good auction. Especially when it’s for something really tied to the history of American cinema.
Now Gregory Pecks leather bound copy of the ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ script is up for the highest bidder at Dallas-based Heritage Auctions.
Peck’s role in TKAM landed him the Academy Award for best actor in a leading role. His only Oscar win out of five nominations throughout his career.
This amazing piece of Hollywood history is one of 250 items from Peck’s personal collection — along with items belonging to his late philanthropist wife, Veronique — that will go to the highest bidders on Feb. 23 as part of the Property from The Estate of Veronique and Gregory Peck event
Another item up for auction that I love is this silver box Peck and his wife received on their 25th anniversay. It’s inscribed with the names of some of their closest friends — Frank Sinatra, Johnny Carson, Billy Wilder, Cary Grant and Walter Matthau, among them.
