My Pal Peck
( Continued from page 41) all their friends react the same way. It goes like this:
The name-dropper says, “I lunched with Clark yesterday — that’s Clark Gable, you know,” and all the assembled Peck friends say quietly, but in perfect unison, “Bong!” Then the name-dropper looks confused. But he doesn’t get the point. So he clears his throat and starts again: “The other day in Washington, whom should I see but Harry — that’s Harry Truman, you know.”
Quietly, in chorus, everyone remarks again, “Bong!”
Well, it usually takes about five “Bongs!” By then the name-dropper gives up his favorite pastime. And you know what happens? He changes into a nice guy who’s not straining to impress anyone!
Visiting Greg is not like visiting at all; it’s like being one of the family. I decided to take them up on many bids, after my seventeenth flop play on Broadway. Planned to stay a week. And stayed four months!
But I didn’t feel as guilty as I normally would for such a long haul. I felt particularly useful because Greta was expecting her second child. So I tried to keep her from exerting herself. I washed mirrors and cars and ran errands. I got rid of all their teeming gophers by trapping them.
I made salad every night — fact is, I went wild in their kitchen because Greta has every herb ever invented there. Also every cookbook, including those two intellectual ones called “The Gentleman’s Companion.” And I thought up a device for using their movie projection machine that completely eliminated noise — by setting it up outside the living-room window, so that it beamed right through the window onto the opposite wall.
ft REG and Greta run movies every eve
II ning the way the rest of us read the newspapers, you see. Some wag among his friends began calling the Peck living room “Loew’s Peck,” and that’s just about right.
But don’t let me give the impression that I did things for Greg that weren’t reciprocated. Quite the contrary. For any little thing like car-washing that I did, Greg did something monumental for me. He did the greatest thing one actor can do for another, for that matter; thanks to knowing him I got my first roles in the movies.
I went down to watch him act on the set. He was doing retakes on “Duel in the Sun” and “The Yearling” and he was acting in “The Macomber Affair.” Anyhow Greg introduced me to the director. I thought that was that. But the next day Greg came rushing home and began shouting as he opened the front door. “Ken!” he yelled. “Can you ride a horse?”
The point was that I had been offered a part in a Hopalong Cassidy picture as a result of that visit to the set.
Also, thanks to Greg, I got a part in “This Time For Keeps.” My visit with the Pecks was a thrill. Not to mention the laughs.
For instance, one morning when Greg and I were off at studios a big gravel truck backed up into the driveway and unloaded a mountain of gravel. Then it went away again. This was, of course, a huge mistake — the load was intended for a nearby house that was being landscaped.
Anyway, Greta came home from the hairdresser’s to discover it completely blocking the front of the house — and, being a thrifty Scandinavian, she was delighted, “A free load of gravel!” she said to the cook. At that ( Continued on page 76)
