- Gary Cooper is among Classic Hollywood's most recognizable and acclaimed actors, widely known for his naturalistic and authentic acting style. Named the eleventh greatest screen legend by the American Film Institute, Cooper built a successful career spanning over thirty years. With two shiny Academy Awards proudly displayed on his shelf, and not one, not two, but three more nominations, Cooper wasn't just an actor; he was a maestro of the silver screen. In 1961, the icing on his illustrious career cake came in the form of an Academy Honorary Award. Picture this: for 23 years straight, he was a fixture in the top-10 film personalities, and for a dazzling 18 years, he ruled the roost as one of the highest-grossing stars. The American Film Institute crowned him the 11th gem in the dazzling constellation of the 25 greatest male stars of classic Hollywood cinema. But despite all this there is some untold truth that you might not know about the legend, join us today as we talk about everything you didn’t know about the legend Garry cooper.
When young, he was a beauty, those eyes !
Very true thank you for leaving a comment
Yes, very attractive.
This man had eyes like no other I’ve ever seen, the way he would roll them while looking sideways, paired with his sloppy grin, always gets me!
He was fantastic and so many movies !!
Beautiful green eyes!
One of Patricia Neal’s greatest regrets was aborting Cooper’s baby. He drove her to the procedure. Luckily for her she was able to later with her marriage to conceive and carry pregnancies. Not all women who had abortions at that time were later able to carry pregnancies. Marilyn Monroe and Polly Bergen for two. Polly Bergen spoke out regarding her abortion and her inability later to have children.
Thank you for leaving a comment 😊
Wasn’t he sweet driving her to th abortion giv me a break
Patricia Neal did a lot of what many starlets did back then, in order to obtain work.
Oh wasn’t he so sweet he drove her to abort their baby
Her affair with Cooper certainly didn't help her career. Who else are you referring to?
Even when older with bags under his eyes, he was gorgeous.
I loved all his movies.
He was handsome and talented but fidelity was not his strong point . We don’t have actors like that anymore. Thanks Gary for sharing your gift with us. We were blessed.
Thank you so much for leaving a comment 😃is there any other legend that you would like us to cover?
Alain Delon
😢
We don't ? Lots of today's actors are lacking fidelity.
Not a good guy
He was beautiful & had a special quality.
He surely was
One of the best cowboy actors of all time.
He surely was
There was somebody better???
What a beautiful , handsome , drop dead gorgeous , gifted good man he was. Can you imagine what he would make of America today. He would be gutted. 😞

Your welcome& I have subscribed , I really enjoy them 🙏
He would fit right in with all the other phony people in this country of ours.
Apart from his constan philandering, he sounds lovely. Probably why his wife took him back and overlooked his indiscretions. Thank you for a lovely video.
Thank you for your supportive comment
His wife was Roman Catholic, divorce was not gonna happen. Many years after her dad’s death Maria Cooper reconciled with Patricia O”Neal and sponsored her mother’s rival into the Catholic faith.
Patricia. Neal
Apart from his cheating ways?...Such behavior would kill most relationships, and deservedly so. Just because he was a famous guy, he got away with a lot of nasty things.
@@curbozerboomer1773Don't forget the sexual diseases these people could have passed to their spouses too
Loved him!! Fountainhead and the hanging tree are my favorite!❤❤❤

What a great and classy video about Gary Cooper! Thank you! He lived life fully, that is how it should be:
Thank you so much for leaving a comment . I s there any other legend you would like us fo cover?
Classy ???

I believe he died a Christian believer, I’d hope he repented from his wretched life. As we all should!
I love Gary. We share the same birthday .
That’s very nice 😃
Whoever is creating these bios is doing an exceptional job. Thank you, ive enjoyed them all.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment we appreciate 😀

How about Dean Martin if you haven't already?? Thank you @@ALegendsLegacy-45
The narration is almost word for word taken from the Wikipedia entry on Cooper- only the occasional phrase is slightly reworded, or inverted. I don't know which came first.
@@paulybarr Obviously Wikipedia.
One of my very favorite actors ever!!! Ann
Thank you for leaving a comment
This was a wonderful story about a truly remarkable actor.I really enjoyed this.Thank you.
Thank you for leaving a comment
I lost everything for him when reading about how he treated Patricia Neal.
When they had an affair she was 21 - he 46 and married. When she bevame pregnant, he pressured her to get an abortion to protect his career and marriage.
She had a nervous breakdown - he abandoned her.
Terrible man.
Thank you for leaving a comment
In her autobiography Patrica Neal stated he was the live of her life
Sad
@@ericklynch6873 You mean "love of her life"?
Yes - very sad indeed.
I think his life would have been happier had he married a different woman.
He wasn't too great to Lupe Velez either.
It would be great if the narrator could pronounce the names of the actors. Or had read and practiced the narration ahead of time.

It’s AI. You’re correcting a robot.
It’s AI.
She had a beautiful voice though....
I knew it! Who pronounces it coup when you're overthrowing something?
Strange, but Carl Sandburg once called him the most beloved illiterates this country has ever known. In his autobiography, Anthony Quinn wrote about a night under the skies in Mexico in 1953 during filming of “Blowing wild”:
“Lying on the ground with Gary Cooper, actress Suzan Ball ( Quinn’s love of his life) and Barbara Stanwyck. “ At one point, I looked over and noticed that Coop’s left arm appeared to be missing. It was a very strange thing. The moonlight had left him silhouetted in an unusual way, but as my eyes adjusted to the shadows, I could place his hands underneath Barbara Stanwyck’s skirt. Suzan was soundly asleep on my arm, and Barbara had her eyes closed and was feigning sleep. Coop was working his hand quite diligently between her thighs, and she moved with him. He kept up with his talking, going on and on about women, all the while diddling the famous lady who lay at his side”.
Anthony Quinn also wrote that he was known to have different women for different moods. What a lucky guy!
😂lucky guy

@@ALegendsLegacy-45Clark Gable ....& His boyfriend....
He wasn’t fussy fiddlin with Stanwycks clacker, that’s for sure
Gary Cooper won many acting awards throughout his career he won best actor for Sergeant York in 1941 and for high noon in 1952 he also won the New York film critics award for Sergeant York in 1941 I believe he won a Golden globe award for high noon in 1952 Marilyn Monroe won a golden globe award in 1952 Cooper teams with Ingrid Bergman and two successful for whom the Bell tolls which was his highest grossing, they both starred in Saratoga trunk that was filmed in 1943 it's made almost as much money as Sergeant York had made in 1941 Saratoga truck was the 1946 , is the sixth most popular film in the year of 1946 Cooper's most popular film l For whom the Bell Tolls, Sergeant York, Saratoga trunk, these were his highest grossing movies Gary Cooper had to be taught baseball to play the role of Lou Gehrig, Cooper was a Lou Gehrig was Left hander.. 3:57
Thank you for leaving a comment 😊we appreciate it
Truth is truth Gary Cooper had to be tutored by Major League coaches so that he can play the part of Lou Gehrig and pride of the Yankees he was not trained for the army or the French foreign legion in Morocco, he was never in the army so he could be trained to be a killer my dad was in the army and he said they trained us to kill I thought Gary Cooper was the best actor of all, he had to be shown what to do when the part he was not necessarily a baseball fan but he looked great and pride of the Yankees Gary Cooper was never really a cowboy came from a Rich family not as rich as Humphrey Bogart's but you still need to be trained what to do for certain parts my point.
Do one on William Powell
Definitely 😀
William Powell was great and had a knack for comedy!
Boy that wS quick!
What a great guy, we'll never see his like again. The sergeant York picture left a lasting impression on me when I was growing up R.I.P.
May his soul rest in peace
I've seen all of Gary Coopers movies. I Loved them all. I believe I will see him in Heaven someday
That’s very awesome
No you won't see him in heaven you'll see him in hell
@@annecoughlan6508 Are you god?
Read your bible God has already stated who will not enter heaven
@@annecoughlan6508 Okay but it's still up to Him to decide not you. So don't be so sure to talk freely as if you're the decider.

During the 1980'sI commuted with a fellow worker for about six months. During WW II he was in special services. His job was to escort coop around as he entertained the troops with just his own personal greetings. He tokens what you saw on screen was exactly what he was in real !ife. Except that ever night he "entertained" a different nurse each and every night.
Thank you for leaving a comment
Tallullah Bankhead said that the V.D. she caught from Gary Copper caused her to have a hysterectomy as a young woman.
Really
Wow!
It was rampant among the rarefied, debauched, sleep-around Hollywood God's & Goddesses. Even they weren't immune from catching it. Luckily the Studio doctors and abortionists took good care of them.
he sounds like a rich over privilaged player
lol thank you for your opinion we appreciate it
He was a real player, I wouldn’t want him
Thanks for leaving a comment
Hollywood truly acted like a bunch of dogs. I mean the filthiness was everywhere. Godless Hollywood from the beginning.
Well I hope that you boycott all film and television if you feel that way.
Started and run by Communists..mostly Russian...many Polish...still the same today...only much darker and filthier. Affairs, weird sexual behavior, divorces and abortions were the norm.
I’ve always admired Gary Cooper as an actor & human being! I’ve seen news reels of his testimony before the HUAC HEARINGS and he denounced communism but refused to name names, saying that he didn’t run in those circles & didn’t know who did! His defense of Carl Foreman is legendary when he stood up to John Wayne on the set of “ High Noon”! Wayne wanted Foreman to be removed & Cooper said if Foreman’s name didn’t appear on the credits he would quit the movie! Foreman’s name appears in the credits & Cooper won the Oscar for his performance! John Wayne was so upset that he attacked the movie as un-American, & made “Rio Bravo” in response! At least that’s the rumor!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment 😃is there any other legend that you would like us to cover?
@@ALegendsLegacy-45 How about Randolph Scott and Joel McCrae if you haven’t already
John Wayne's jealousy of high noon is well known, when he accepted the Oscar for Gary Cooper he wondered why his business manager did not get him the role in the almost scratching his head so that you could see it when the film and Cooper got a lot of awards and credit for being probably the greatest Western of all time and I say that because I think it's true the greatest Western of all time Shane should get some credit Wayne's The Searcher's high plains drifter a ghost story from Clint Eastwood , destry Rides again Jimmy Stewart, the oxbow incident Henry Fonda , my name is nobody, the proud ones Robert Ryan, No Name on the bullet Audie Murphy, Warlock Richard Wid mark
Buck Jones you said it better than I did.
High noon came out in 52 and it took John Wayne and Howard Hawks 7 years to answer high noon, Rio bravo is a fun Western the reason it's a classic today is because Westerns are so bad aid in modern time's they don't have the Stars like Cooper Wayne Stewart,Fonda.
Well...there was one physical aspect of Gary Cooper that really impressed his many lady friends...I think people in this comment section know what I am referring to.
Thank you for leaving a comment
Handsome actor with his beautiful eyes
Thank you for leaving a comment
Glad he was at peace when he passed A great American
May his soul rest in peace
Me truly I loved this man, seemed caring but all business
He was truly a legend
My god...the narrator had no idea how to correctly pronounce Lupe's and Clara's name. Obvously he was reading from a script and had no knowledge of the era.
It’s error not era …. Just like you made a mistake
@@ALegendsLegacy-45 No reason to get nasty. But Clara Bow's is pronounced BOW.
It's artificial intelligence - Ai
@@ALegendsLegacy-45knowledge of the error? You are stuttering utter nonsense. It is era, as barrymargolis stated. You can't even get the meaning of a sentence
Mabye its an A.I. doing the reading?!
A great looking guy, he had a naturalistic acting style, when other actors were still being stagy. Yes, he had the reputation of liking the ladies, he always went back to his wife.
😂he always went back to his wife
@@ALegendsLegacy-45 She knew all about the others, but she stayed with him.
@ALegendsLegacy-45
really, "he always went back to his wife'
well that's alright then.!!!😢
@@elizabethf1591 And she always took him back.
He didnt like "the ladies" - he used them.
Do a bio on Aldo Ray. He was an interesting guy.
Definitely 👍
Mr. Cooper won TWO Best Actor Oscars for Sergeant York and High Noon. Please double-check your facts before uploading to CZcams

Someone must have been praying for this man.
Thank you for leaving a comment
Why are these Hollywood stars so disappointing when you find out what they are really like? Why were they always bed hopping despite being married with kids? Surely there must have been some who were loyal and faithful?
I think there must be some good guys. But most of them always had something terrible going on.
Jeff Bridges has one wife
I liked him in Ayn Rand's _The Fountainhead._
Great 😊

tony soprano loved gary cooper strong silent type tony called him
Thank you for leaving A comment 😃
@@ALegendsLegacy-45 no worrys
I like these videos overall, but the narration often leaves much to be desired. The narrator needs to pronounce people’s names properly, especially super famous people like Clara Bow. It’s not pronounced “bow” as in “take a bow”, it’s pronounced “bow” as in “bow and arrow”. 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you so much for the correction we will do better next time
It just goes to show that SI is Artificial Ignorance and we'd do better without it.
Anthony Quinn told an eye opening story about when he made Blowing Wild with Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. One night after filming the three of them were laying on the grass looking up at the stars. Quinn said Stanwyck suddenly started moaning and when he looked over, Cooper had his hand down her trousers!
They invented the term Wooden Actor for this guy.
I always thought that, he sounded like he was reading the script for the first time
@@johnm2871
Oh my god - EXACTLY!
un grande attore.
Tambien se comentaba que tuvo una larga relacion con Tony Perkins
Loved his acting.
It was definitely on point
He had only one facial expression that of a corpus an talked in a monotone.
One of my favorite movies is "Meet John Doe" starring Cooper and Stanwyck.❤
Thank you for leaving a comment
Have you done a video on Anthony Quinn that would be interesting?
We will surely do
What a beautiful man
He sure was
Great actor ❤
He surely was a great actor
Lousy grammar and spelling on meme. GARY. Not Garry. Many poor grammar errors.
He was very handsome and heard that he was very well endowed...A famous actress in the 40's committed suicide over him.
Seriously ☹️
Ladies were lining up to take him on because rumor has it that he’s PACKING!!
He was ok.. but I think it was ridiculous how they paired him with women who could have been his granddaughters.. Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn..I did like The Fountainhead..
Thank you for leaving a comment 😊
Just FYI...her name is pronounced Clara Bow (rhymes with toe) and she was the most famous actress during the silent movie era
Thank you for your comment
People still believe there are Hollywood actors who aren’t/weren’t gay? How precious…

Yeah, he, being one of them, lol.
He opposed the correct things in POLITICAL orientation .... not otherwise unfortunately. Just a man. Imperfect.

I would like to hear about Robert Redford and Paul Newman😊
Alright sure! Thankyou for the suggestion ✨😉
So this was the strong silent type Tony was talking about?
Yes
Enjoyed his performances although they became Holier Then Thou.
Thank you for leaving a comment
Would you cover Fred Astaire, William Powell and/or Clark Gable?
Alright!😊 Thanks for the suggestion
I loved all of his movies ❤
That’s awesome
I see "James Dean" in the younger pictures of Gary Cooper!
Yeah😅
OMG. That's real man.
Yeah😀
Gosh, He never struck me as a "Great" actor .
Really
He was nota good actor,andi cannot see anything attract about him. In my eyes Michael Caine was a wonderful actor and a good person,never lost the head( thought he was great)
EEW. SCREWING EVERYBODY THEN GETTING DISEASES, will he spread it to upu?
🙃
Probably
He was a great actor!
He sure was no doubt on that one

Shame on you Gary Cooper was a great star and made some great movies. His personal life should stay personal.
Gary liked to play baseball! Not sure if he pitched or was a catcher 😛😛😛😛😛
Lol thanks for leaving a comment
Gary Cooper had to be taught to play baseball when they started filming The pride of the Yankees. That's all right I still think he's the greatest actor that we've ever had in Hollywood is what a movie star should be and he's what a it's just like the gods of Mount Olympus all the movie stars were no different than he was they all knew that they were admired by millions of Cooper thought of himself as pretty much a simple guy but still at part of him who knew he was a movie star you know he was human like everybody else.
Probably bullsh*t.
Gary was a married man. With a goomah!!!
You're stabbing me in the heart here.
Has no bearing on his talent as an actor.

Gillingham Kent is pronounced with a soft “G”. Like the G in Germany. 🇬🇧
Alright… thanks for the correction
"Communist ideas" actually were in reality equal rights, social welfare and a democratic (small d) country. I remember the 1950s well. I remember my mother arguing about rights for people of Color with someone at a gathering. Obviously she was winning the argument because he suddenly stood up and said, "You'd better be careful, Charline, people will accuse you of having pink petticoats (being a Communist). Gary Cooper may have been a fine actor, but it's pretty obvious that being "a man's man" was code for screwing everything in sight and feeling one had the right to do pretty much as one pleased.

Everybody in Hollywood knew somebody that was gay, Gary Cooper was interested in women he had a friend who was gay in Hollywood John Wayne and Rock Hudson got along fine everybody in the industry if you work there you were going to run into somebody who was this idea that he had a romance with this guy is still crap and I believe a total he was a friend of Gary Cooper's forgot along what they did in their private life did not mean anything Cooper was always interested in women Lupe Velez had a big fat mouth but he was still in love with her she made stuff up because she was jealous of anybody who came near Mike get why she would start such a crappy rumor but Cooper always had most of his leading women he worked with Fay Wray in more films than any other leading Lady and there was never a romance between the two of them however they worked in five films together still believe that that that that the stuff that Lupe Velez made up about how to beat the hell out of him and shoot him loopy was not always at night Lupe Velez was not always a nice person!

He also chickened out in Mc Carthy witch hunt and accused others to save his hide
Thank you for leaving a comment
This is totally a lie Cooper attacked no one during the McCarthy he was one of the few people in Hollywood who did not go after his fellow actors this person just made this stuff up is science fiction and total fantasy man I don't know where you got your information but it really stinks and so do you for saying it because it is no he attacked no one you got to start reading some books, maybe you don't have the time to learn to read you're sort of like Donald Trump he can't read either.
A coward at heart, just like most hunters.
@@marieuzes no he testified a Congressional hearings he never accused anybody so your historically wrong. Ignorance is bliss.
Gary Cooper never accused anyone at Congressional it was filmed the other movie stars had to go through the same thing Gary Cooper did not accuse anybody is a well-known you are accusing somebody when you have no information whatsoever to back up the kind of person who would make a lousy juror you would accuse somebody of doing something without any proof look up the Congressional hearings they are online the McCarthy hearings.
