Administrative Assistant's Movie Poster

The Administrative Assistant, Stephanie Szymanski, has a movie poster for "To Kill A Mockingbird" in her office, autographed by Mary Badham, the woman who played Scout, with a fairly interesting history behind it.

She has the poster because a few years ago, for our "On The Same Page" program, they decided to do the book "To Kill a Mockingbird." The group decided that it would be a good promotion if they showed the accompanying movie in the newly renovated Westminster Art Center. Chris Peters thought they should get someone who had actually been in the movies to make an appearance, and managed to convince Mary Badham to show up. She talked to two of the audiences about the movie, and interesting sidenotes like the fact that she and Gregory Peck actually kept in touch, and he used to call her Scout. While she was here, she signed some posters, and Stephanie got to keep one for her involvement in the project.
