Gary Cooper’s Scandalous Life

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.

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.

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.

Shame on you Gary Cooper was a great star and made some great movies. His personal life should stay personal.

[@catherinecapizzi6024]

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..

It would be great if the narrator could pronounce the names of the actors. Or had read and practiced the narration ahead of time.

There were times when he should have worn his pants backwards.

[@dianesmeltzer6162]

Even when older with bags under his eyes, he was gorgeous.

[@maryeliason1504]

He was beautiful & had a special quality.

[@timeforcoffee485]

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.
