Was George Peppard a Symbol for his day?

I love old movies and was watching Breakfast at Tiffany's last night, and the name George Peppard came up on the credits.I looked him up, and wow he really is good looking.How come I never heard of him before, not like Clark Gable or Cary Grant, or Paul Newman, or Robert Redford?a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rBv2ctT5E" rel="nofollow"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rBv2ctT…/a
