Happy Birthday Gary Cooper | May 7, 1901 – May 13, 1961
“He had a marvelous combination of great strength and great gentility — tough as steel, soft as fog.”
Ernest Hemingway
„ He accomplishes really sincere acting with very few tricks. Someone like Gary is dismissed with, “Oh, he is such a simple person, what he is playing is so simple.” Look at it right up close, and you see it is much more than that, sometimes rather complex, but always subtle.“
George Cukor
”He was the most gorgeously attractive man.”
Patricia Neal
„Gary Cooper is like wax you could mold in front of a camera.“
Ernst Lubitsch
