About Gregory Peck's Real Height
Gregory Peck was tall and always looked so in his movies where he towered over lesser men. Wikipedia lists his height as 6'3" but on IMDb, it is 6'2½".
The source of Gregory's IMDb height listing is probably books like Film Fame and his 2002 biography by Gary Fishgall where his height is described on page 35:
He shot up to six feet two and a half inches while in high school — growing eleven inches between the ages of fifteen and seventeen.
Well, we think it is correct. This makes Gregory Peck around an inch taller than Henry Fonda (6'1½"), about half an inch shorter than Jimmy Stewart (6'3"), and an inch and a half shorter than John Wayne (6'4").
The real height of Gregory Peck was
6 ft 2½ in (189 cm)

You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.
