Gary Cooper
Gary
Cooper (1901-1961)
Gary Cooper was the strong, silent type. He was a gifted
artist, but ambitions in that field didn't work out, and
he chose to go into film. He began as an extra and
stuntman, and quickly gained recognition in silent movies.
The young Cooper, unlike a lot of other actors, made a
seamless transition from the era of silent movies to the
talkies. He went on to have one of the greatest careers
in Hollywood history, winning two Best Actor Oscars, in
1941 for 'Sergeant York (1941)', and in 1952 for probably
the most revered of all Westerns, 'High Noon (1952)'. He
also won a special Academy Award in 1961.
