Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of To Kill A Mockingbird on Film (at the White House)
President Obama hosted a film screening of To Kill a Mockingbird in the Family Theater at The White House to commemorate its 50th anniversary with guests including local students from Washington-Lee High School, Mary Badham Wilt, the actress who played Scout, and Veronique Peck, widow of Gregory Peck who played Atticus Finch. The President also acknowledged the American Film Institute for their commitment to the fine arts and NBC Universal and USA Network for their efforts to commemorate this important film.

Mary Badham's character in that movie.
As long as we're talking pop culture trivia (which my husband and I can do for hours)!
Fantastic book, fantastic movie. Good to see Scout still has her twinkly eyes.
