Gary Cooper
Gary Cooper’s father was a justice of the Supreme Court of Montana. Cooper received his elementary education in England and then studied at an agricultural college in Montana. After graduation, he worked briefly as a guide in Yellowstone National Park and also drew political cartoons for his hometown newspaper, the Independent. In 1924, he headed west in hopes of becoming a cartoonist for a Los Angeles newspaper but instead found work as a doorknocker.
In 1925, through some good friends, he got small parts in Western films. Cooper’s breakthrough came the following year in Daughter of the Storm. Cooper was one of the truly great stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age and was popular with both male and female movie audiences. Cooper personified the strong, silent American, “a man of few words”. He starred opposite Marlene Dietrich in the 1930 film Morocco, and over the decade would develop his distinctive character as the thoughtful man who nevertheless always carried out what his conscience dictated.
As Cooper’s characters stood up for justice, morality and ethics, he was not the man of the most traditional love scenes. But a few of the films, not least Farewell to Arms (1932, based on Hemingway’s novel) were praised for tenderness – and there Cooper and Helen Hayes were actually seen in one of the later classic film kisses. In a later film adaptation of a Hemingway novel – The Bell Tolls for You – he starred opposite Ingrid Bergman (1943). He said he wanted to see her home country and came to Stockholm at least twice – the last time in April 1955.
Cooper initially appeared in romance and adventure films but is undeniably most associated with the Western genre, where he played Grace Kelly in The Sheriff (1952). Cooper received three Academy Award statuettes during his career, the third of which was an honorary award. The Academy Awards took place in April 1961 and his good friend, James Stewart accepted the award on Cooper’s behalf, as Cooper was terminally ill with cancer at the time. Gary Cooper died a month later.
