Gregory Peck. C'mon ladies. You know he's dreamy! On a more serious note, he also won an Academy Award for his role in the film adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, which we'll be screening next week. It's a must see, whether you've read the book or once had a schoolgirl crush on the leading man. My amazing colleague Allison Jessing puts together a great sampling of films each season, which we screen in the state-of-the-art McEvoy Auditorium on the lower level of the museum (use the G Street Lobby for access). So take a look at what's coming up and pencil in a flick on our big screen!
