Gregory Peck's Star Stolen From Hollywood Walk Of Fame
<snip>

LOS ANGELES -- Police said Gregory Peck's star has been stolen from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Authorities said they don't know when it happened.

Police said they learned of the stolen star from Johnny Grant, who serves as Hollywood's honorary mayor and oversees the sidewalk salute to celebrity.

Grant said Peck's star apparently disappeared sometime between Nov. 17 and Nov. 22.

The late acting legend's star is the fourth one to be stolen since the Walk of Fame started in 1960.

Years ago, stars honoring James Stewart and Kirk Douglas disappeared after they were removed during a construction project -- but they later turned up.

Gene Autry's star also disappeared during a construction project. It was never recovered.

A replacement for Peck's star has already been partially installed but remains covered up.

5. That was David Warner's character.
The brit cops shot Peck.I loved that smile Damien does at the funeral.I was watching the DVD last week.

In the commentary they said that they told him not to smile and he did anyway and they put it in the film because it worked so well and it did.
