Photograph caption dated May 22, 1962 reads, "Most actresses refuse even the remotest association with the word 'ham' but not the 9-year-old Alabama girl playing Gregory Peck's daughter in Universal's 'To Kill A Mockingbird.' Mary Bedham is used to it. The Badham girl from Birmingham expected to play a ham in the grammar school play they were filming. With her name, what else?"; See images #00130754 through #00130758 for all photos in this series.
