Gregory Peck is dead

LOS ANGELES JUNE 12 . Gregory Peck, the lanky, handsome movie star whose long career included such classics as ``Roman Holiday,'' ``Spellbound'' and his Academy Award winner, ``To Kill a Mockingbird,'' has died, a spokesman said today. He was 87.

Mr. Peck died at his Los Angeles home overnight, with his wife, Veronique, at his side, Monroe Friedman told The Associated Press.

From his film debut in 1944 with ``Days of Glory,'' he was never less than a star. He was nominated for Oscar five times, and his range of roles was astonishing.
