Remembered for his roles in movies including "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Omen," and "Guns of Navarone," Gregory Peck was an iconic American actor whose six-decade-long legendary career saw him amass a $60 million net worth before his death in 2003, as per Celebrity Net Worth. Having started his career as an usher at the Radio City Music Hall in New York, Peck's first acting stints were on Broadway, before he moved on to the silver screen. His first Academy Award nomination came within a year of his debut with "Keys to the Kingdom" and he was nominated again just three years later for "Gentleman's Agreement." Peck finally won an Academy Award for his unforgettable portrayal of Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962).

Acting gigs in films and television were Peck's primary sources of income, which he further supplemented with investments, endorsements, and real estate ventures. He also engaged in several philanthropic activities, supporting causes such as the American Cancer Society and the National Endowment for the Arts.



 

Peck's versatility allowed him to tackle diverse roles, from the stoic Captain Ahab in "Moby Dick" to the charismatic journalist Joe Bradley in "Roman Holiday." But long before he gained fame and fortune as an actor, Peck launched the La Jolla Playhouse where artists came together to innovate for theatre.
