He was my father's favorite actor. A hard choice to make with the likes of James Stewart, Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, James Cagney, so many others, taking up residence in the human mass conscience. Bogart was a legend in this household as well. But my old-man's favorite movie was "High Noon". And there's this to support these subjective assertions, my old-man kinda looked like Cooper, but acted more like Peck. How cool is that? If Cooper and Peck had had a baby together. Er . . . wait!
odd shot of him in the car: shows where he was losing his hair, towards the back
always knew he wore a piece but it looked somehow pretty natural, they do if you can patch them on back there and leave your hairline in the front pristine.
Wonderful wonderful actor: the first minimalist, long before Michael Moriarity:
look at his performance in Hanging Tree on point all the way, almost till he'
right Gable was the most popular, period. No contest. They all had their niches, and riches, and fans, but Gable was the most regular guy, the most identifiable with most of ordinary folks. He and Stewart, for all that, proved their ordinariness by
becoming just regular joes risking their very lives in bombing runs over Germany, day after day. Neither one ever wanting to talk about it.
Gary cooper was the well most payed actor in the 30,s and the most famous actor of his time even james stewart ,cary grant and other legends were no equals to Gary Cooper

In the US All Time Movie History, Cooper was 3 x times among the Top 50.
So that makes him definitely the major MALE Star.

haha Coop totally had a two night stand with Anita Ekberg. I read it in a couple of his biographies.

Wrong. Gable was the King of Hollywood and by far the biggest star of the 1930s.
