À propos de cet ebook
A biography of the legendary Academy Award–winning star from "the greatest living film historian" ( Los Angeles Times ).
"Cooper was heroic, of course, in his own mind as much as in his scripts. He was manly, tall, ruggedly handsome. He was a man for a fight."
On screen Gary Cooper was the ultimate all-American hero: lean, laconic, and masculine, a lone sheriff battling his enemies in High Noon, or a tough individualist in The Fountainhead.
