Hi everybody,
I'm sure our administrator will move this where it should be located I'm so not computer literate. I found an article in a magazine from Fall 2008's GUNS OF THE OLD WEST (Combat Handguns #59) which I am sure is available in the past issues - they have a website. I don't know how to download/upload ... the article is under "Cowboy Profile" and "Hollywood Heroes" entitled "Always a Cowboy: Gary Cooper" written by C. Jack Lewis and covering pp. 48-53. The tag line is "Only a third of his films had him in boots and chaps, but he insisted the REAL WEST was his home!"
I also have an old MAD Magazine spoof of HIGH NOON called "Hah! Noon" but it is done lovingly and is genuinely a tribute (from about 1973). Full color, and the drawings show a Coop defined by his very distinct features - the chin, the eyes, the nervousness of Will Kane.
Also, there are some nice prints of Coop available at AllPosters.com.
The Stackpole prints have been available there, but are fairly expensive.
I did see an episode of HDTV that had a tour of the Cooper house on Baroda drive from about 2005.
I am also a member at Ancestry.com and have found him on the various censuses as well as some travel info from some of his wartime travels - with the Air Force, coming back to Los Angeles on 23 December 1943 and showing a picture of the actual document..
I also found birth and death information for his brother, Arthur Leroy Cooper, 1895-1982.
I recall an old issue of Seventeen magazine (November or December 1973) and an article toward the back of a girl who had "discovered" late night movies - and Gary Cooper ... I have it - somewhere.
Have a good one. I really enjoy the website.

Sorry I don't know how to get these items on the website, but if I have them, they are bound to be "out there" somewhere.
