GREGORY PECK
A typescript letter, signed, from Gregory Peck to Audrey Hepburn on 375 North Carolwood Drive headed stationery, dated 3 January, 1992, the two page letter thanking Audrey for her …eloquent, staggering, tribute at the Kennedy Center… There is no way I can thank you adequately. I can appreciate fully however, the willingness to leave home, fly to Washington and return, the care and the thought that you invested in those remarks, and the beautiful style of your appearance and delivery, Peck goes on to reassure Audrey about her attendance at a forthcoming UNICEF tribute in San Francisco that between them there are No obligations and no embarrassments, ever, joking ...people are going to continue to do this. They loved the picture and can't wait to see the Princess and her old boy together again. Aside from that, put delicately, most of your leading men have turned in their dinner pails. And, I'm always available for my dear chum...,signed in black felt pen, Yours - Greg

Between 1987 and 1992, Hepburn spoke at a total of four tributes to her Roman Holiday co-star Gregory Peck. Her companion Robert Wolders quipped How much could they say about each other? When Peck was honoured for his contribution to the arts at the 14th Annual Kennedy Center Honors on 8th December, 1991, Hepburn delivered her most touching address: Dearest Greg, to your generosity, I owe my career. For your courage and integrity, you have my deepest respect. For your friendship, your goodness, and your humour, you have all my love.

After Hepburn's death in 1993, Peck reminisced It was my good luck during that wonderful summer in Rome, to be the first of her screen fellows, to hold out my hand, and help her balance as she did her spins and pirouettes. Those months were probably the happiest experience I ever had making movies.
