One of those rare instances where the hero on screen was one in real life as well. He was a regular patron of the Met, always seated in the front row. I admit i may have watched him more than the opera! ;)ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300586836372077575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425056644549146833.post-63619901115760287732010-08-11T16:21:08.350-05:002010-08-11T16:21:08.350-05:00Great story!

I think Universal pictures was also in the same building. At any rate, I remember once waiting downstairs for the elevator at lunch, when who should come in the front doors but Gregory Peck (at the height of his gorgeous fame) and his elegant French wife. I was thunderstruck. Could not speak to save my life. I merely stared. To this day Peck remains the handsomest man I've ever seen in real life.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425056644549146833.post-6164089899717170582010-08-11T14:38:56.828-05:002010-08-11T14:38:56.828-05:00Gregory Peck was what movie stars used to be- larg...Gregory Peck was what movie stars used to be- larger than life talent.<br />Great Pics!Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169919367804280109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425056644549146833.post-54216930847562879752010-08-11T13:29:52.699-05:002010-08-11T13:29:52.699-05:00great story john!! and the fotos from to kill a mo...great story john!! and the fotos from to kill a mockingbird are wonderful - mary badham spoke at the u city library last year and she autographed a similar foto for my son --- our brush with fame!!<br /><br />xoxoAmanda Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942636545948440422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425056644549146833.post-27169330935722865382010-08-11T09:32:00.425-05:002010-08-11T09:32:00.425-05:00Growing up in L.A., I've had quite a few celeb...Growing up in L.A., I've had quite a few celebrity sightings over the years, but my best was when I was working at the front desk of a small art museum in Santa Monica. I was still in college at the time, maybe 20 yrs old. Tommy Lee Jones walked in, looked around for a second and gave me a $20 bill for admission. I thought I was playing it cool, but I guess my nerves showed, because as I was counting out his change into his hand he said (in a perfect Texas twang) "C'mon son, don't be scared..."<br /><br />Lol!Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798883246590751721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425056644549146833.post-41966283984805192172010-08-11T06:49:53.469-05:002010-08-11T06:49:53.469-05:00What a wonderful memory, the photos are awesome.
