Trivia
Owned and ran a dance studio from 1950's to the 1980's. In 1971, after starting a second dance studio and repertory company in Fullerton, he launched Angelo's and Vinci's Ristorante so his dancers would have a place to eat. In 1988, a writer for The Times described his eatery as "probably the gaudiest restaurant in Orange County, an interior designer's nightmare, a gawker's paradise, a trattoria gone slightly amok." The restaurant was rated as having the "top pizza in Orange County" in 2004. Peck and his wife often allowed the restaurant to be used for fund-raisers for KABC-TV's Channel 7 Eyewitness News.
The Pecks often used their restaurant which was rated in 2004 as having the "top pizza in Orange County" by KABC-TV Channel 7's "Eyewitness News" to hold fund raisers.
