Summary of Lynn Haney's Gregory Peck

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 1942, talent scouts had been circling the young man named Gregory Peck. He had a deep, resonant voice that could reach all the way to the back row of the orchestra and the rear row of the balcony. He was darkly handsome and intelligent.

#2 Greg was not born to the spotlight, but he ended up in it anyway. He began his career in La Jolla, a seaside community on the outskirts of San Diego. He was not only lucky, but he also had a talent for creating luck.

#3 In Manhattan, he landed a two-year scholarship to the prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse. He was trained by Sanford Meisner, the school’s director, who came out of the Group Theater, which revolutionized American acting in the 1930s with psychologically truthful performances.

#4 Greg’s life was not easy. He was lonely, insecure, and often at a loose end. But Greta, his wife, helped him get through those difficulties. She was the hairdresser to Katharine Cornell, star of Guthrie McClintic’s touring theater company, and she steadfastly believed in his acting ability.
