in The Omen he was already a bit older (i think around 50+?), looked an easy 6'4 in shoes, i do agree he lost a lot of height once he reached 60+ and kept losing till the end.
easy 6'3 younger age, about 6'1.5 before he died imo. adam says on 27/Jun/08
Well I doubt that John Wayne was 6-4. I`d believe Peck was a legit 6-3 and Wayne about the same height or maybe a bit less.
philippe says on 1/Jun/08
Perhaps Gregory Peck lost a part of his height as he aged,but at his peak he looks between 6'3.5" and 6'4".In a photo of 1969,he stands in front of President Lyndon B.Jonhson(6'3.5")and has the same height(when receiving the medal of freedom).In a photo of 1949 he looks the same height than 6'4" John Wayne(in a stage production for charity "what price glory" in Hollywood).And in several films(The guns of Navarone,The sea wolves)and photos he looks about 4 inches taller than his "6 feet" friend David Niven. clark says on 8/Jan/08
Gregory Peck lost a lot of his height as he aged. Time magazine had a pic with him and Jimmy Smits, who is about 6'4, but towered over Peck. No human being can keep their original height when they are in the twilight years. Gregory Peck was of Irish decent, but he was also 1/4 Turkish. And a fabulous human being and actor. daniele says on 15/Nov/07

thank you mark.It's very interesting.For me peak is 1,89 AshnarLynx says on 30/Oct/07
I asked a woman who knows him well and has met him several times about his height. She said he was 189 cm and that he hasn't lost none of his height even as he passed 80. That is really impressive. Gonzalo says on 22/Oct/07
Or maybe more than 8cm. Peck looks 1`90 at least in that pic luca from italy says on 20/Oct/07
@mark

yes.i have a bad photo somewhere. sam says on 24/Sep/07
he was 6 foot 3. even in his final years still seemed this height. Patrick says on 15/Jul/07
Of course! Thanks to "reason" for lighting wise minds as philippe's, Fox's, Josh's and, let's be generous (Ilike him) Viper!
Gregory was of that sort of great and tall actors we miss currently so much!
He was brilliant, very clever and cultured! A Lord in a word; I miss them: Grant, Wayne, Cooper, Bogart, Mitchum, Cagney, Gable Douglas...too long list for those "yesteday", too short for those of today! Tom Welling is the for me, the only one having that "glint" and that presence but I doubt he ever become a star, a "movie star". Peck was one and was tall: not less than 6'3 I repeat. philippe says on 7/Jul/07
I agree with Patrick and Josh:Peck looks near 6'4" at his peak:looking at the famous 1956 movie "Moby Dick"(Peck was just 40 years old), we see Peck standing beside character actor Friedrich Ledebur playing "Queequeg"(89th. mn) ,who we know earlier in the film he is 6'7"(see the 72nd. minute);Peck looks only between 2.5 or 3 inches shorter than the very tall Ledebur.So,Peck at his peak was actually 6'4".sure! Fox says on 23/Jun/07
my grandpa is 6'0 and he had a picture of him and peck in 1975 i believe, peck was 3 inches taller for sure. this guy is 6'3 NO LESS Viper says on 27/Apr/07
I think there is a better chance of Peck being 6-2.5 than 6-3.5 Josh says on 26/Apr/07
PECK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT OVER 6FT 3. MORE 6 FEET 3.5
IN THE GUNS OF NAVARONE HE WAS THE TALLEST A BIT OVER 6 FOOTERS ANTHONY QUINN AND STANLEY BAKER. patrick says on 16/Apr/07
I ALWAYS saw him as being MINIMUM 6'3 and thought long he was 6'4; The fact is he had high shoulders what inclines to see him taller, maybe...Would tower over almost every other actor and looked taller, if my memory serves me right, than Chuck Heston; If he ever was 6'2 , that was after the 70ies; In th eOmen, he still is very tall; remember! crisanto says on 6/Mar/07
in the film Roman Holiday, he towers above Audrey Hepburn who is 5'7". i say he's really 6'3". John says on 4/Mar/07
"Gregory Peck: A Charmed Life" by Lynn Haney says Peck was 6'2". Gonzalo says on 26/Feb/07
Pat, are we talking about the same Gregory Peck? Pat says on 24/Feb/07
I walked past Gregory Peck in a hallway at Caesar's Palace about thirty years ago. He seemed very small to me. I was surprised. Now I am surprised to find that he was 6'3". I think this shows how deceiving all of this sort of thing can be. During the OJ trial I was surprised when he was refered to as big. I had seen him on streets of San Francisco and he had always seemed small. Speaking of the "Streets of Sanfrancisco" - Michael Douglas seemed like a child.
Conversely I shook Nixon's hand when I was in high school. I remember looking up at him. In fact I was probably at least three inches taller than him even then.
If I went by my own eye witness testimony I would believe that Peck (and OJ) were little guys and Nixon was a big guy. Fortunately I have this site to straighten me out. Viper652 says on 24/Sep/06
Nah, Peck was 6-3 max. Maybe more 6-2 1/2. Glenn says on 24/Sep/06
Met him.6-3 in 1992. philippe says on 23/Sep/06
I confirm that Peck looks more than 6'3",certainly near 6'4" at his peak.Indeed,in "The big country" he looks one inch taller than 6'3" Heston(especially in the second half of the film);in "The guns of Navarone" he looks 2'5" inch taller than 6'1.5"Quinn and much taller than 6'Niven;in "Cape fear" he looks more than 2 inches than 6'1.5"Mitchum;in "The sea wolves" he looks near 3 inches taller than 6'1"Moore and much taller than 6'Niven and 5.11 Mc Nee.Therefore ,the actual height of Gregory Peck at his peak was near 6'4" rather than 6'3". Faith Ladlow says on 12/Aug/06
I met Gregory Peck many times at parties and fund raisers in Santa Barbara and Montecito. He was at least 6'3" and carried himself with great dignity. Mike says on 25/Apr/06
Peck looked a couple of inches shorter than Jimmy Smits in "The Old Gringo" & Smits is listed as 6'-3"...of course Peck was around 70 yrs old when he appeared in this movie, so he may have lost a few inches of height by that time
Frank2 says on 25/Apr/06
In The Big Country, Heston wears cowboy boots with two inch heels while Peck wears black English riding-style boots with one inch heels. Even then in most shots the two look about the same height. Frank2 says on 24/Apr/06
Omar was 5'10" and wore lifts in McKenna's Gold. Peck was 6'3". Like I said, he was two inches taller than Bob Mitchum in the original Cape Fear. larry says on 24/Mar/06
Peck always looked 6'3" to my eyes. In "McKenna's Gold" he is 4" taller than Omar Shariff (5'11") and 5-6 inches shorter than 6'9" Ted Cassidy. Gonzalo says on 13/Mar/06
I think Peck was 6-3 at his peak. He was taller than everybody else in his movies, except Chuck Connors in The big country. He was a couple of inches taller than Anthony Quinn in The world in his arms and in The guns of Navarone.
Clearly a 1m 90 cm guy Frank2 says on 28/Feb/06
Peck was definitely 6'3" in his younger years. In Cape Fear he looked two inches taller than 6'1" Bob Mitchum. Viper652 says on 13/Feb/06
No way was Peck 6-4!!! I think Rob has a very accurate listing for him. He was always described as being between 6-2 to 6-3. philippe says on 11/Feb/06
looking carefully at the film "the sea wolves", Peck was much taller than Moore who is 6'1. I think the difference was about 3 inches(8 cm).So,the actual height of Peck seems to be 6'4. Sammy says on 13/Oct/05
Everyone goes up and down 0.5"-1" in height depending on whether they are wearing shoes or not! Note to Anonymous: they are not called 'lifts', they are known all over the world as 'shoes'! Anonymous says on 5/Sep/05
I could see why his height is listed as 6'2, which is accuratly correct. Cause in almost all of his movies he weares lifts, even look in Moby Dick. But with his shoes he probably is close to 6'3. But without them, he's just on 6'2. talker says on 1/Sep/05
Peck looked taller than Heston in "the big country".I believe Peck was 6'3" and Heston 6'2". John says on 30/Jul/05
In "The Big Country" Peck looked about an inch shorter than the 6'3 Chuck Heston. Peck was probably 6'2 at his peak. sam says on 31/May/05
Most ever listing (except for a couple at 6'2"), had him at 6'3" when standing straight as a young man. I always thought he looked 6'3" before age took it's toll. Mr.K says on 9/May/05
Gregory Pecks correct height was 187 cm. In America and Britain listed as 6'2". |
