The ''To K*ll a Mockingbird'' Scene Gregory Peck Tried to Hide From Fans

Gregory Peck won an Oscar for To Kill a Mockingbird, but he nearly sabotaged its most iconic moment. The 6-minute scene required police protection in Southern theaters, and studio executives wanted it gone. But Peck's own doubts were even more dangerous. He wanted to soften the film's message about racism, thinking it might tear the country apart. What happened next would change Hollywood forever.
