"Mary Badham (with Gregory Peck) as Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962, dir. Robert Mulligan) ""Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that required pants. Aunt Alexandra's vision of my deportment involved playing with small stoves, tea set, and wearing the Add-A-Pearl necklace she gave me when I was born; furthermore, I should be a ray of sunshine in my father's lonely life"". -Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird"
