‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Director Robert Mulligan Dead at 83

Mulligan died early Saturday at his home in Lyme, Connecticut, after a battle with heart disease, his wife, Sandy, said Monday.

Mulligan was nominated for an Oscar for “Mockingbird,” the adaptation of Harper Lee’s best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

The 1962 film starred Gregory Peck, who won the best-actor Oscar for his portrayal of Atticus Finch, the small town lawyer who defends a black man falsely accused of rape.
