My Take
George Peppard is one of those actors whose presence outlived the convenient labels people pin on him. Holding the screen opposite Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's is no small feat, and his Howard Hughes-inspired turn in The Carpetbaggers showed real range. What interests me is that he did not settle for being a handsome leading man; he reached into directing and producing too, which suggests a restlessness I respect. The Hollywood star recognizes the visibility, but for me his quieter accomplishment was sustaining a working career across decades in an industry that discards people fast.
