Starring Gary Cooper

For over three decades, Gary Cooper was Hollywood’s consummate everyman, a refreshingly sincere, unaffected screen presence who imbued his common heroes with authenticity and simple dignity. Emerging as a leading man in the late silent era, the lanky, strikingly handsome Cooper went on to star in westerns, dramas, war films, and comedies, his charm serving him well no matter the genre.

Looking for a place to start?
Watch Cooper embody all-American decency and courage in the Lou Gehrig biopic The Pride of the Yankees and Frank Capra’s Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. Then see him serve as the perfect comic foil to Barbara Stanwyck in the screwball riot Ball of Fire.
