I read the book in school and cried all through it. Then the movie came out and hit all the major points of the book, but I still cried all the way through it. It was such a truth, both the book and the film, to life.

One of the all time classics. Loved To Kill A Mockingbird. This was an exceptionally interesting interview. How delightfully humble is Mary Badham. Craig's questions and captaining of this conversation is exceptional.

I agree. A charmer, well prepared. He really leads the pack in these long form conversations 😊😊

Interesting about Redford. All people say he's good actor, some people say he's difficult, whatever that means.

The movie was and will always be a "classic" you were so good and natural with and Mr. Peck, so good in this beautiful film. I can view this film over and over. Glad you and Mr. Peck had a good close relationship. Wonderful film.

I was essentially Scout. Biggest tomboy you could find. I lived in the 70/80s in school & Mockingbird is one of my favorite books! I’m finally seeing the play next week in Atlanta!

I read that book as a young teen and I was so excited to know there was a movie too. I loved the book best but I also really enjoyed the movie. It’s crazy to think woman had to have their father’s signature for a checking account if they were unmarried. Thanks for sharing.

What a sweetheart! I saw the movie many times while growing up, and of course it is one of my favorites. I have to say I didn't read the book till a few years ago (60 now) and it was wonderful with all the things it brings to life that the film did not. Her story is amazing to listen to. I'm happy to hear that she goes around and spreads the word on the sadness of racism, and how we can all play a part in working on it's disappearance. ✌️🌎 ❤️

@ ~ 18.57 I was @ tale end of that. You couldn't buy house by urself w/o husband's permission 1964. Couldn't go to nice restaurant w/o being escorted. Even 20 yrs ago young women are surprised by that.

Short of the Bible and a study of the life of Jesus Christ, To KIll A Mockingbird affected my life more profoundly than perhaps any piece of written material. I have both taught it and written materials for teaching purposes on it. Mary, you have done a marvellous job on this interview.
