Gary Cooper: The Accidental Movie Star (1901 - 1961)

Gary Cooper Life Story (1901 - 1961) Gary Cooper Movies
Gary Cooper. Born in Helena, Montana on May 7, 1901, as the Old West was fading, Gary Cooper was an accidental star, coming to Hollywood to find work as a commercial artist and be closer to his parents. After he landed some stunt work, Cooper was soon “discovered” and, in 1925, began acting in uncredited roles. His film career, spanning 36 years, took off with Wings in (1928), winner of the first Best Picture Academy Award.

His scene was a short one — just two-and-a-half minutes long. But, as Paramount Pictures legend A.C. Lyles described it, “When he came on the screen, it just lit up with him.” With only 200 feet of film, Hollywood moguls knew they were looking at a star. Indeed, they were.

Cooper embodied American goodness and strength, projecting it on the screen with understated brilliance. His upbringing — raised Anglican in the Old West by English immigrant parents, who instilled in him the manners of a “gentleman”— nurtured in him that unique American combination of rugged individualism and magnanimous selflessness.

“With Gary, there are always wonderful hidden depths that you haven’t found yet,” Mr. Deeds Goes to Town co-star Jean Arthur said, as Joseph McBride wrote in Frank Capra: The Catastrophe of Success. “You feel like you’re resting on the Rock of Gibraltar.”
