Personal Quote:
I also remember meeting Gary Cooper at a party. I was so impressed that I blurted out that all the stars I had met before had been terrific people. Cooper thought about it for a minute, then said, "Yes, I suppose we are, the ones who are on top. But watch out for the ones who haven't quite made it, or are past it." It was valuable advice.

He was very near-sighted and wore glasses all the time off screen. He would rarely allow himself to be photographed wearing glasses though. See more »Trademark:
