Welcome to the Gary Cooper Scrapbook. Here you will find pictures, articles, movie ads, and other ephemera about one of the most talented, respected, and well loved actors of Hollywood's Golden Era. “The world of today is a far cry from the world in which Gary Cooper lived until his untimely death in 1961. The distinction between “celebrity” and “star” was also quite different. But neither of those words was in the foreground of my father’s image of himself. He always felt he was your average “Joe American.” In his film roles, he tried to portray the best an American man could be…He taught me a little Western expression when I was very young. “There ain’t never a horse that couldn’t be rode, there ain’t never a rider that couldn’t be throwed.” In some way, that informed his own way of moving through what was truly an extraordinary life.” – Daughter, Maria Cooper Janis, 2011

I liked what I saw and felt proud, so posted it just as it was.

VintageHome: Thanks, cori. I love my birds. I had to catch the Great Tit to get it back outside but it kept hiding from me

...eventually it found its way outside all by itself

May 22, 2013 3:08:08 GMT -6

gcfanforever: I don't always log in but I check your site very often, Coopsgirl. Love, love it!! The recent Forbes article was very good. May 19, 2013 18:21:34 GMT -6

cori: Well, VintageHome, may be it's just only because you do it, she'll always be thankful... May 18, 2013 10:19:22 GMT -6

VintageHome: Folks, hope you have a good weekend. It's a holiday weekend for me! Found one of my birds, a Great Tit sitting on my armchair today

, the balcony door was open, looking at me as if to say: Feed Me! They know I do but apparently it wasn't enough. : May 16, 2013 7:43:42 GMT -6

VintageHome: I think pompomfd1 "Make me a Star" is not listed in the 1930s movies section because Gary was just being himself and it wasn't really a movie he starred in (it's listed as "Self" in IMDB) May 15, 2013 2:26:57 GMT -6

pomponfd1: Hello Coopsgirl.[br]I think there is not post "make me a star - 1932" in movies still 1930? May 14, 2013 6:47:11 GMT -6

cori: There is no place for: “it came about casually”,[br]There is only place for states of consciousness which make us so sensitive as a highly sensitive star-tracker...[br]- MICHEL BOUJUT - I agree...

VintageHome: Well, we all have our hobbies, cori

Some people collect shoes, others collect memorabilia. Some people believe in the paranormal, others refuse to talk about it..Think we'll make it to Alpha Centauri any time soon?

May 13, 2013 11:26:48 GMT -6

cori: Often, my friends say to me that "me and Gary Cooper", this veneration is not normal! I answer them: it's worse! It's paranormal! Strange but real... May 13, 2013 9:03:03 GMT -6 *

VintageHome: Energy never dies so I'm certain Gary keeps on ticking in one way or another.

Saw two very interesting documentaries the other day, on how people perceive certain things, how time travel works, worm holes and parallel universes. Fascinating! May 13, 2013 6:32:22 GMT -6

Coopsgirl: Children of Divorce is not lost. There is a restored copy in the Library of Congress (U.S.). It has never been released on home video though or shown on TV so there are no available copies-yet. May 12, 2013 14:59:07 GMT -6

pomponfd1: Children Of Divorce : this film is lost i think

westerngirl: Here is the movie on youtube (Ten North Frederick) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_VfYgRSPlA&list=PL090E7CDBAAB21CAE May 10, 2013 0:49:12 GMT -6

howardroarksheffield: Oh, MaxiCooper01....these are the best websites I know of where you can get Ten North Frederick http://www.ioffer.com/i/ten-north-frederick-rare-dvd-movie-1958-gary-cooper-142194065 http://www.armandmovies.com/cart/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=7 May 8, 2013 15:15:57 GMT -6

howardroarksheffield: Hay, has anyone ever seen Children Of Divorce? I spoke to a rare movies collector and even he hasn't been able to get hold of it. Which is a pain because it looks great. May 8, 2013 15:11:44 GMT -6

cori: Valentine, I don't know exactly, but when he came in France with his family it was often in May, and in Grasse (city in the south) during May there's a annual show of roses. It's possible they visited it (and in May, it was the birthday of Rocky too) May 8, 2013 9:30:46 GMT -6

valentine: Why these roses, where they his favorite flower. The bouquet is gorgeous! May 7, 2013 17:42:01 GMT -6

Coopsgirl: I recorded my copy of Ten North Frederick off TV and there are probably copies like that floating around out there. I'm bummed too that TCM is not showing any of his films today. They been giving him short shrift the past couple of years. May 7, 2013 17:27:14 GMT -6
