Gary Cooper was my Favorite,he had to be the most genuine of all the greats back then,my favorite movie of his was Sergeant York💜 My father resembled him allot and when my Dad passed away in 1972,I would watch Gary's movies and remember my Dad foundly.😻
I named my youngst son after him. We don't live in Montana, unfortunately, but he is a natural artist and he has grown to 6' 5". He's charming and kind. Gary Cooper is a good man to take after.
God I wish there were more men, more human beings like Gary Cooper. I grew up on films like this. Not all men of that era were men like him, but we certainly could use more like Gary Cooper today.
@@carolinebrookboysen1945 well, what does that mean exactly, I wonder? if he romanced them and was kind about it, maybe it was something they enjoyed and appreciated. after all, he was Gary Cooper!
Gary Cooper was my Mom favorite actor. She loved Gary and his performance as an actor. I know Mom liked “For Whom the Bells Toll,” one of her favorite movies of many of them since actress Ingrid Bergman was her favorite actress. Gary Cooper was indeed a great actor, very handsome, classy and charismatic man adored by many women. Men like Gary Cooper don’t exist anymore, these actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood were classy gentlemen and most definitely they are IRREPLACEABLE. Love this video it is beautiful and lovely. Thank you for the upload of the biography of a great man and actor sorely missed by many and all his fans. He was indeed an American hero. He might be gone but never forgotten. Gary Cooper left a lasting impression that will never die. God bless his soul always. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌
I really miss the golden era Hollywood actors and actresses. I remember a time when it took a couple hours to decide which movie to watch. Now it takes a couple years before there is a movie worth watching. Danny Kaye, Jimmy Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, James Cagney. Oh so many worthy actors and actresses made for so many worthy movies to watch. Immorality has killed Hollywood
My favorite Cooper movie and one of the better movies of the war era was "For whom the Bell Tolls". He and Ingrid Bergman were breathtaking in the electricity they generated on the screen. He possessed a completely facile sincerity in his acting style that few have ever achieved.
I “fell in love” with Gary Cooper at the ripe old age of 11 in 1960!! I loved the way he acted, the strong silent type,😍 he was just so perfectly GORGEOUS and ever since he embodied “my type” VERY difficult to come by, and though l had plenty of boyfriends and married young, l finally found him in Italy at the age of 54!! I told him he was the second most handsome man in the world, none could beat Gary Cooper🤩❤️🤩
My wife has been in love with Gary Cooper since she saw him as a young girl when her parents took her to see High Noon,she still says he was the most attractive man she had ever seen,when she watches the dvd of him in High Noon she likes to be alone.
My Dad introduced me to Gary Cooper through the movie Sergeant York. I recently introduced him to my daughter 36yo) through the same movie as well as Pride of the Yankees. Can't wait for my 6yo grandson to be old enough to appreciate those and many more Gary Cooper movies.
Gary Cooper was my ideal leading man and hero. I enjoyed him when I was young and today at 66 years old still have a wonderful memory of him in his roles as an actor. He was simple, he was genuine and he was a beautiful looking man. Strong smart silent type with enough inner spark to set off most humans to new level of feelings. Thank you Gary Cooper for your wonderful time as an actor and human being.
I always thought Gary Cooper was a great looking guy, his films were the best. To this day, I see no one who could compete with him. Men like him are few and far between. My husband wax a guy like that, he was always my hero because I felt loved every day, and we were together all the time, because we wanted to be. He has been gone for 9 years, and I miss him every day.
@@marijooneill8015 My hubby was also a very special man. We lost him last Jan. and I still cry every day/ We have been together since I was 17 and he too always told me how nice I looked and that he loved me to pieces. Does it ever stop hurting? I doubt it! We were married 2 months short of 60 years.
@@judynolte7675 Judy, my husband has been gone 9 years, and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. We were together for 28 years, but I knew him since I was 13. I miss the days we shared, and the we had and I don't seem to be able to get past him not being here. I thought it would easier as the years went by. It hasn't. God Bless.
Garry Cooper died 18yrs before I was born. But I've been "In Love" with Mr. Cooper since the first time I saw Love in the Afternoon. I have loved old black and white movies since I was about 12. But didn't have great access to many of them until I was in my 20s. First time I saw Love In The Afternoon I was about 25. I now own 3 DVD copies. LOL
He was known for his impeccable taste and style, much of it taught to him by a lovely American heiress. In fact there is a line in the song PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ: (Fred Astaire's version) -"dressed up like a million dollar trooper - trying hard to look like Gary Cooper, super duper.." He was an icon of fashion at the time Irving Berlin wrote that..
Cooper, one of my all time favorite actors and yes, hero! The epitome of the all American hero sorely missing these days with principles and morals! We're not like that anymore, we've unfortunately lost the idealism and optimism we once had as a society! We've grown more cynical and pessimistic! Boy, could we sure use another Gary Cooper these days! Thanks for a great documentary on him including his beautiful daughter!
This is the best video bio on Cooper...Well, written, edited and also validated by his daughter's commentary and that of Heston, G. C. Scott and others. Well done. TY.
I love the Gary Cooper who played the rawness and masculinity of the American male, naturally, with subtleness and grace.. He also had an humble, humorous nature. Men like him don't age in our minds because he is a true "icon". I will never forget him in Sergeant York, as a World War 1 TN hero, who believed the Bible.
Hi Rebecca, he’s not my generation but even but even when i was child i was fascinated when i watched a movie with him, so straight, so strong and so sweet at the same time 👍
I'm not from the generation that grew up watching Cooper's films, but I have to say he puts most of today's leading men to shame. He was an original and the product of a very specific upbringing (growing up on a ranch in Montana when it was one of the last frontiers in America, going to boarding school in Britain, and aspiring to be an artist before he became an actor). That's one of the many reasons why I don't think we'll ever see anyone like him again. Also, even though there were many legendary leading men in his era, he still stood out with his rare and timeless beauty that was incredibly modern for someone who was born 120 years ago, stunning screen presence, iconic sartorial style, and authenticity.
A million thanks, as seeing this has been a blessing. Without a doubt, Garry Cooper like Jimmy Steward was the face of all that is noble in the American people.
@Gatto Di Ossa was Gay Cooper really a known snitch? It seemed very onest, but maybe i'm wrong. Officially had not mentioned colleagues there is his deposition on RUclips. Then i don't known, i'm Italian, maybe you Americans know more...
- Cooper, who was famously known for his minimalistic laconic way of acting, was once asked for advice from an up and coming young actor. "How do you create those long thoughtful pauses that are so iconic on screen?" he asked. Cooper, who was somewhat embarrassed, scratched his feet in the dirt, thought a little and replied, "Oh gee that's just me trying to remember my lines!" It's my favourite Cooper story and probably just about sums him up.
Thank you for sharing this documentary 🙏 just been introduced to Gary Cooper, not heard of him before just searched the quiet strong personality and he came up from a sopranos quote 🙂 as I relate to that sort of character in real life so it’s nice to see someone in Hollywood existed like that for us quiet men who compete in this extroverted world. Representation goes a long way as quiet people tend to be misinterpreted as cold but some of us are actually decent we just take longer to come out of our shells🙂 Excellent starting point for me on him and getting a sense of how he was as a human being, sounds like he was such a true gentleman and kind 🙂 perfect lesson for my generation to learn as a youngster (28)
I rediscovered Gary Cooper after watching The Fountainhead recently. I found him so appealing that I've since watched every movie I could find. I love his looks but even more his easy way of inhabiting every character he portrayed. I saw Friendly Persuasion and Love In The Afternoon when I was in high school. His charm, sensuality and tenderness has left a much deeper impact now that I've lived through many decades. Of all the actors from yesteryear it's Gary Cooper whom I find the most appealing.
A very sensitive and beautiful documentation. I've always liked and loved Gary Cooper. 🙂❤️ And what a wonderful human being his daughter is. I like her very much too. Writing this here from Germany.
He was one of the greatest actors during his time. He had that eye catching look. He looked so handsome in his clothes. I enjoyed the film he and Pat Neil made together. There were other films I like too.
Tampy: Gary Cooper, I am not the only one who fell in love with Gary . When he appeared on screen, we all felt we knew him. I know it's crazy ..even my husband understood & smiled..
One of the definitive three Kings of Hollywood.Gary Cooper born in 1901 and died in 1961.The other two were Clark Gable and John Wayne. Cooper won his Oscar for "High Noon" and also an honorary Oscar.
@@roygonzalez4367 yes, he won for York also, but my favorite was The Hanging Tree. He was dying when he made that movie, but to me he was beautiful. He was always beautiful. Greetings from beautiful Montana. I will always love them both Coop and Montana. He was sixty when he died, and I'm 80 this year. I wish he hadn't smoked. That's what killed my dad, too, at 51. Life can be too short, but at 80, for me, it's kind of too long. I can't wait to meet Coop in the heavenly realm. To just look in his eyes and hear his voice. I loved him when I was 12, and I love him still. Had he lived, he would be 120 years old. Thank you Coop, so very much
Gary Cooper was a gentleman, kind, polite, unassuming, and it showed through his acting. That is why his fans couldn't accept him as the bad guy. He was simply to good a person to be convincing enough to be bad. He played all his good guy roles to perfection...great actor, great man, great American.
Dee Marie Dubois you seem to forget that he cheated on his wife on numerous occasions, one of them was the great actress Patricia Neal. So please let’s not make him an angel, granted he was a quiet guy, unassuming and private but he was also a man with roving eyes!

@@kathrynejones2590 when you use capital letters it shows and tells us you are yelling. Refraining from doing this would be advisable and proper etiquette, I also am 63 years old. I don't care about their private life until someone mentions them in a angelic way when you know they are not. I always like to watch a movie with Gary Cooper,
Gary Cooper was one of those people for whom the expression 'they don't make 'em like that any more' was written. He split with his wife for a couple of years which wasn't good but she seems to have been quite philosophical about it and in the end the 'other woman' Patricia Neal 'did the decent thing'. He appears to have been loved and respected by everybody both on and off the set and he was an anathema to Hollywood in that he wasn't smug, selfish, egotistic or rude but was generous, quiet, well-mannered and kind. A measure of his 'honesty' and easy-going attitude was shown by his very good friendship with Ernest Hemingway because politically they were 'poles apart'.
@patrick williams: I agree. His affair with Patricia Neal nearly broke up his marriage, but I have to say it's very touching to hear an elderly Neal speak so eloquently about Cooper in this documentary, and I'm glad she got to talk about him on camera before she died in 2010. She called him "the beauty of the world" and the love of her life. That's extraordinary considering that he was married and she went on to marry Roald Dahl and have 5 children with him. Cooper's wife and daughter eventually made peace with Neal and met with her, so it sounds like they handled the situation very maturely.
Gary Cooper was maybe the greatest star in the history of movies, Joel McCrea, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, and yes Cary Grant we're at one time or another to be his replacement but it never happened watch how their careers got started they were to be the next Gary Cooper. It didn't work out this way and I enjoy watching all the other stars too. 7:00 7:00
Coop was fascinating. It seems that he didn't act and everything looks totally natural. Everyone who ever tried acting knows how difficult it is to leave that impression.
He was one of the first ones who put himself into the role when at the time most were relying on the habits of bunny rabbits....he believed in himself.
Gary Cooper quote: As Shakespeare said-- all the world's a stage. It wasn't that way when I first got into the movies in 1924, but it is now. That's why I find Hollywood newer and more exciting every day. It's still a place where a kid from Montana can jump on a horse, ride that-a-way and keep right on going.
Definitely the strong, silent , and gentle type..He had a special ability with acting..he didn't have to try ..it just came naturally..One in a million..So very handsome,,,He definitely had that "Star quality". Gone too soon..
Gary Cooper was a great guy who personified everything that was good in America.... patriotic, decent, good looking, a great actor without any airs, down to earth. What a contrast to present day Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!
@friendl hi she really loved him he wanted to keep the affair between them and stay married to his wife, she wanted to start a family and expected him to divorce his wife he refused.
They don't make movies the way they use to. They made wonderful moves without sex scenes and no swearing. Good wholesome movies. Gary Cooper was a talented actor. Just loved his movies.
Not many people will know this being state side. But when Gary Cooper died his family received a letter from the British Royal Family. They thought a lot about him as well.
Reminds me of my late son , screen writer Brian Nohr. Play wright. In L. A. Wrote Robin Hood for Warner's, Third Rock from The Son, Paramount, Si-Fi for Sony. We too lived in Rugget mountains near Poconos. Before , after he left Drew University, to California. We both totally admired, Gary Cooper. Son also tall, but Scandinavian. He too, as I 'm an Artist loved Art. I would paint his Theater Back drops. Cooper one off my son's favorite, but Robert Redford, and Paul New man. We. Loved Westerns. My late son was a Black Belt, and got extra money teaching at Bruce Lee Center in L.A. Wich got him to Warner Brothers, promoting international Bruce's films, while he wrote.

What a magnificent Biography! My Favorite Cowboy Actor. So well put together here by the Publishers They made his story so well. The Selection of the Films and his Co-Stars. The Input of his Relatives and Friends The items from his family so well presented and enjoyable. By the Star Struck Movie Fanatics of which I was a Contender! I'll wager here and now that if we Lovers of "Peace on our Planet" Were to put it-to Gary Cooper he would take to the saddle again Ride for 2-RULES-HUMANITY Keeping us all SAFE As 50% Women 50% Men in GOVERNANCE -SPIRITUALITY DO SADDLE-UP DO- YOUR PART -AS HERO as you-VOTE it-IN
There ain’t never a horse that couldn’t be rode ,and there ain’t never a rider that couldn’t be thrown,Talk about your great “humbling quote “ Great words of wisdom for those cowboys and cowgirls out there that think that they horse won’t buck.
What I liked the most about "The Coop," is how he always made acting look so EASY. Well, folks, it ain't so easy. But he could say it all with a simple, "Yup." My favorite early Cooper film was "Sargeant York," because it epitomized his silent strength so well. In his later career, it was a sweet film that is still one of my favorites, "Friendly Persuasion," about a Quaker family during the Civil War who has to decide to either follow the dictates of their religion, or the stirrings of their hearts. If you enjoy movies from a "gentler" time, movies with heart, catch it. It's important.
@@joanking3025 Ah-h-h, yes!! One of my favorite melodies, from one of my favorite films. I own it on DVD, and always turn my friends on to it. "They don't make them like this anymore."

It is so true what they said at the end of this video: “There are no more Gary Cooper and Frank Capra,”. They are definitely gone. So very sad about that.
We are too cynical for people like Gary Cooper and Frank Capra these days. If a young actor who looked like Gary Cooper arrived in Hollywood today, he would be told by the studios to hit the gym, bulk up, and get ready to appear in the next superhero movie.
I first became aware of Gary Cooper as a child in the early 50's when he starred in High Noon. I really understood the action portrayed as he walked down that street all alone with all those conflicting emotions flickering across his face. Of course at the time to me it was for real but later I realized how talented his acting was - perhaps because he started in silent films?

This documentary should've been called Gary Cooper: the Strong Silent Type
Gary Cooper is one of my favorites of all time!!!!! 💝💝
Gary Cooper was one of the most special actors of all time.
Gary Cooper was my Favorite,he had to be the most genuine of all the greats back then,my favorite movie of his was Sergeant York💜
My father resembled him allot and when my Dad passed away in 1972,I would watch Gary's movies and remember my Dad foundly.😻

I named my youngst son after him. We don't live in Montana, unfortunately, but he is a natural artist and he has grown to 6' 5". He's charming and kind. Gary Cooper is a good man to take after.
There will never be another actor like Gary Cooper he is one of a kind. He was one of a kink he was my all time actor. Rest In Peace Mr Cooper.
God I wish there were more men, more human beings like Gary Cooper. I grew up on films like this. Not all men of that era were men like him, but we certainly could use more like Gary Cooper today.
Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see anyone like him again. He was a product of his time and his specific upbringing.
@@avocate2017 yep
Nope

Loved Sergeant York

Just saw Mr Deeds Goes To Town. What a great movie! He was wonderful!
I don't how else say it -- I love you, Coop -- heart, body + soul...What a Gift you were and always will be...💞
He was wonderful. I love that he grew up friends with the local Native Americans. That alone shows decency and integrity.
Good parents
We need more Gary Cooper's today!!!!

Yes that role was as a humble man as well when he plated Lou Gehrig, another humble man, and it seemed as if he was playing himself.
he was so great! and his daughter is a beautiful and well spoken woman! I guess that's good genetics and good parenting! this is a wonderful story!!!
She is a progressively educated moron. He would have disowned her if he were alive today.
The most handsome , brilliant actor in the Hollywood history . Among the many fantastic actor's in the golden years of move making in Hollywood .

Thank you for sharing this documentary 🙏 just been introduced to Gary Cooper, not heard of him before just searched the quiet strong personality and he came up from a sopranos quote 🙂 as I relate to that sort of character in real life so it’s nice to see someone in Hollywood existed like that for us quiet men who compete in this extroverted world.
Representation goes a long way as quiet people tend to be misinterpreted as cold but some of us are actually decent we just take longer to come out of our shells🙂
Excellent starting point for me on him and getting a sense of how he was as a human being, sounds like he was such a true gentleman and kind 🙂 perfect lesson for my generation to learn as a youngster (28)
I rediscovered Gary Cooper after watching The Fountainhead recently. I found him so appealing that I've since watched every movie I could find. I love his looks but even more his easy way of inhabiting every character he portrayed. I saw Friendly Persuasion and Love In The Afternoon when I was in high school. His charm, sensuality and tenderness has left a much deeper impact now that I've lived through many decades. Of all the actors from yesteryear it's Gary Cooper whom I find the most appealing.
HIM, AND JOHN WAYNE FOREVER...^-^...
@@kathrynejones2590 yup you can't go wrong with a John Wayne movie or Robert Taylor
What a joy to see George C. Scott talking about Coop. Two greats.
I read that 5 feet 2 inches tall Lupe Velez used to kick the crap out of him.
@@hectorsalcido4106 That woman was a savage, vulgar little piece of human. Gary was too good for her.
A very sensitive and beautiful documentation. I've always liked and loved Gary Cooper. 🙂❤️ And what a wonderful human being his daughter is. I like her very much too.
Writing this here from Germany.
He was one of the greatest actors during his time. He had that eye catching look. He looked so handsome in his clothes. I enjoyed the film he and Pat Neil made together. There were other films I like too.
Gary Cooper ist unvergessen.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've always been in love with Gary Cooper, since I was young.
" Sargent York " He Was Born to Play That Part , One of My All Time Favorite Movies , RIP Coop
"Sargent York" among my favorite movies.
Mine too. Sgt. York was awsome.
"The Naked Edge" Truely excellent film. Worth watching folks...A young film makers guide in doing it right.
Tampy: Gary Cooper, I am not the only one who fell in love with Gary . When he appeared on screen, we all felt we knew him. I know it's crazy ..even my husband understood & smiled..
One truly more personal insight Gary Cooper life.
One of the definitive three Kings of Hollywood.Gary Cooper born in 1901 and died in 1961.The other two were Clark Gable and John Wayne.
Cooper won his Oscar for "High Noon" and also an honorary Oscar.
I hear Ya , But Didn't Coop Win an Oscar for Sgt. York Also ?
@@roygonzalez4367 yes, he won for York also, but my favorite was The Hanging Tree. He was dying when he made that movie, but to me he was beautiful. He was always beautiful. Greetings from beautiful Montana. I will always love them both Coop and Montana. He was sixty when he died, and I'm 80 this year. I wish he hadn't smoked. That's what killed my dad, too, at 51. Life can be too short, but at 80, for me, it's kind of too long. I can't wait to meet Coop in the heavenly realm. To just look in his eyes and hear his voice. I loved him when I was 12, and I love him still. Had he lived, he would be 120 years old. Thank you Coop, so very much
I would take Gary over Wayne or Gable.
Yes I did miss out on Coop winning another Oscar for "Sarjent York".
He be an icon of his own, He was so classic so beautiful a man. He a true hero!
Really admired Mr. Gary Cooper!! He was such a national treasure!!! ❤🤠
Gary Cooper was a gentleman, kind, polite, unassuming, and it showed through his acting. That is why his fans couldn't accept him as the bad guy. He was simply to good a person to be convincing enough to be bad. He played all his good guy roles to perfection...great actor, great man, great American.
Dee Marie Dubois you seem to forget that he cheated on his wife on numerous occasions, one of them was the great actress Patricia Neal. So please let’s not make him an angel, granted he was a quiet guy, unassuming and private but he was also a man with roving eyes!
@@labellaescrima1996 I JUST WATCHED THIS BIO 4 HOURS BEHIND YOU. WHAT ARE THE COINICEDENCES OF THIS HAPPENING IN 2020 OF 2 PEOPLE WITH 4 HRS CONNECTING THEM. I'M 63, AND I GREW UP WATCHING 'REAL MOVIESTARS' IN 'REAL MOVIES' OF WHICH THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN NOWADAYS...I CARE/CARED ABOUT THE CHARACTER THEY ARE PLAYING, NOT THEIR PRIVATE LIFESTYLE...WHICH IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR MOST ACTORS/ACTRESSES OF TODAY...IS IT JUST?ME THAT ALWAYS USES!CAPS...^-^...
Hey Henderson; your as*hole is where your mouth is and if you've got any brains ; you ain't usin' em to think with.
@@kathrynejones2590 when you use capital letters it shows and tells us you are yelling. Refraining from doing this would be advisable and proper etiquette, I also am 63 years old. I don't care about their private life until someone mentions them in a angelic way when you know they are not. I always like to watch a movie with Gary Cooper,
@@labellaescrima1996 IS IT JUST?ME THAT ALWAYS USES CAPS! I'M NOT YELLING...^-^...I ALSO LOVE GREGORY PECK...
What a lovely daughter he left us with !
He was always my favorite. A man of great principle.
Gary Cooper was one of those people for whom the expression 'they don't make 'em like that any more' was written. He split with his wife for a couple of years which wasn't good but she seems to have been quite philosophical about it and in the end the 'other woman' Patricia Neal 'did the decent thing'. He appears to have been loved and respected by everybody both on and off the set and he was an anathema to Hollywood in that he wasn't smug, selfish, egotistic or rude but was generous, quiet, well-mannered and kind. A measure of his 'honesty' and easy-going attitude was shown by his very good friendship with Ernest Hemingway because politically they were 'poles apart'.
Hold on! Cooper was a complete philanderer who boasted he had bedded every female lead he starred with.
@patrick williams: I agree. His affair with Patricia Neal nearly broke up his marriage, but I have to say it's very touching to hear an elderly Neal speak so eloquently about Cooper in this documentary, and I'm glad she got to talk about him on camera before she died in 2010. She called him "the beauty of the world" and the love of her life. That's extraordinary considering that he was married and she went on to marry Roald Dahl and have 5 children with him. Cooper's wife and daughter eventually made peace with Neal and met with her, so it sounds like they handled the situation very maturely.
Gary Cooper was maybe the greatest star in the history of movies, Joel McCrea, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, and yes Cary Grant we're at one time or another to be his replacement but it never happened watch how their careers got started they were to be the next Gary Cooper. It didn't work out this way and I enjoy watching all the other stars too. 7:00 7:00
Coop was fascinating. It seems that he didn't act and everything looks totally natural. Everyone who ever tried acting knows how difficult it is to leave that impression.
He was one of the first ones who put himself into the role when at the time most were relying on the habits of bunny rabbits....he believed in himself.
I agree. Didn't Lee Strasberg say that Cooper was a natural Method actor, but he just didn't know it?
Spencer Tracy
One of my favorites was when he played Lou Gehrig, at the time I thought he might be the same guy as Gehrig was a humble man.
@@isaacmagee2536bunny rabbits?
No one said "Yep" like Coop! Women loved him!
Gary Cooper quote: As Shakespeare said-- all the world's a stage. It wasn't that way when I first got into the movies in 1924, but it is now. That's why I find Hollywood newer and more exciting every day. It's still a place where a kid from Montana can jump on a horse, ride that-a-way and keep right on going.
@
Definitely the strong, silent , and gentle type..He had a special ability with acting..he didn't have to try ..it just came naturally..One in a million..So very handsome,,,He definitely had that "Star quality". Gone too soon..
Gary Cooper was a great guy who personified everything that was good in America.... patriotic, decent, good looking, a great actor without any airs, down to earth. What a contrast to present day Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!
@James Henderson evidence please
evidence please@James Henderson
@James Henderson ok thanks.
@@ianbentley7276 just read her autobiography you'll get all the details
@friendl hi she really loved him he wanted to keep the affair between them and stay married to his wife, she wanted to start a family and expected him to divorce his wife he refused.
What a wise mother to send her rough-hewn lad to a British school. It gave him an elegance he may not have had otherwise.
When I reflect on today life and hear these stories, it makes me want to be a truer person.
Gary Cooper was magical and his daughter is truly beautiful and intelligent.Thanks for this great posting.
They don't make movies the way they use to. They made wonderful moves without sex scenes and no swearing. Good wholesome movies. Gary Cooper was a talented actor. Just loved his movies.
My favourite actor of all time.
Not many people will know this being state side.
But when Gary Cooper died his family received a letter from the British Royal Family.
They thought a lot about him as well.
Reminds me of my late son , screen writer Brian Nohr. Play wright. In L. A. Wrote Robin Hood for Warner's, Third Rock from The Son, Paramount, Si-Fi for Sony. We too lived in Rugget mountains near Poconos. Before , after he left Drew University, to California. We both totally admired, Gary Cooper. Son also tall, but Scandinavian. He too, as I 'm an Artist loved Art. I would paint his Theater Back drops. Cooper one off my son's favorite, but Robert Redford, and Paul New man. We. Loved Westerns. My late son was a Black Belt, and got extra money teaching at Bruce Lee Center in L.A. Wich got him to Warner Brothers, promoting international Bruce's films, while he wrote. Good times , clean, energetics.🌃🇺🇸🇩🇰🦅🗽🤠favorite:" The Pride off The Yankees". ⚾🏆And. High Noon. Worked at Premier , as ViP group serving, set off High Noon, in Bar , Champagne! Before next week's set was torn down, in early 2000 . Lots off tears! Late at night.🌃
What a magnificent Biography! My Favorite Cowboy Actor.

Films and his Co-Stars. The Input of his Relatives and Friends
The items from his family so well presented and enjoyable.

I'll wager here and now that if we Lovers of "Peace on our Planet"
Were to put it-to Gary Cooper he would take to the saddle again

The way that long tall texan scammed judge roy bean in the westerner was priceless. One of his best roles in my mind.
Love his movies a classy gentleman!
There ain’t never a horse that couldn’t be rode ,and there ain’t never a rider that couldn’t be thrown,Talk about your great “humbling quote “
Great words of wisdom for those cowboys and cowgirls out there that think that they horse won’t buck.
We been talking about him and early movies how wonderful to see this. Thanks
I have Sargent York, Vera Curz and Pride of the Yankees in DVD! Loved him a lot!
I want to get High Noon to add to my collection .
@@patriciamiddleton635 High Noon is one of the Greatest of all Movies. My other 2 favorites of his are, Beau Geste, and Hanging Tree
God Bless Gary! God Bless all Gary's!
A great western actor my favorite Gary Cooper movie will allways b high noon with grace Kelly
What I liked the most about "The Coop," is how he always made acting look so EASY. Well, folks, it ain't so easy. But he could say it all with a simple, "Yup." My favorite early Cooper film was "Sargeant York," because it epitomized his silent strength so well. In his later career, it was a sweet film that is still one of my favorites, "Friendly Persuasion," about a Quaker family during the Civil War who has to decide to either follow the dictates of their religion, or the stirrings of their hearts. If you enjoy movies from a "gentler" time, movies with heart, catch it. It's important.
tiffsaver me too, loved that film.
His two best films!
Loved Friendly Persuasian..my
Favorite of Gary Cooper.
"Friendly Persuasion"my favorite also along with GWTW
@@joanking3025
Ah-h-h, yes!! One of my favorite melodies, from one of my favorite films. I own it on DVD, and always turn my friends on to it. "They don't make them like this anymore."
Gary Cooper est, et sera toujours mon acteur préféré parmi tous les autres, puis vient ensuite Charlton Heston. Les 2 plus beaux et plus grands acteurs americains de tous les temps. 🫠😍💖
It is so true what they said at the end of this video: “There are no more Gary Cooper and Frank Capra,”. They are definitely gone. So very sad about that.
We are too cynical for people like Gary Cooper and Frank Capra these days. If a young actor who looked like Gary Cooper arrived in Hollywood today, he would be told by the studios to hit the gym, bulk up, and get ready to appear in the next superhero movie.
An incredible man in talent and soul.
Hello Toni
My favourite Gary Cooper movies; Sgt. York and For Whom the Bells Tolls.
These documentaries are fascinating, love the golden age.
I first became aware of Gary Cooper as a child in the early 50's when he starred in High Noon. I really understood the action portrayed as he walked down that street all alone with all those conflicting emotions flickering across his face. Of course at the time to me it was for real but later I realized how talented his acting was - perhaps because he started in silent films?
Having seen Gary Cooper many times during my child hood and always in cowboy movies.
