| At 9, his parents sent him
to Dunstable School, Bedford
shire. England, for four years.
When he returned home. he
broke a leg in an auto crash.
He spent two years recuperat-
ing at the family ranch near
Helena.
During his formative teen
age years he lived among West
ern cowboys and learned to
ride and handle horses like any
range-bred youngster.
Attended Grinnell College
Later, at Grinnell College in
Iowa, he had some stage expe-
rience in school plays. After
two years he returned to Helena
and worked five years on a
Helena newspaper as a cartoon
ist. He decided to try for a
better career in Los Angeles.
but newspaper editors were un-
impressed with his penwork.
He subsisted as an advertising
salesman.
Mr.. Cooper was about to take
a train home when two friends
from Montana told him of the
riches to be made falling off
horses and doing other movie
stunts.
ITO pick up some spare
money I did some extra work
riding and stunting in some
pictures" he recalled later.
well, I got into a Tom Mix
picture at Fox and learned he
was getting $4,000 a week
That started me to thinking
I had hoped to achieve $4,000
year in the advertising busi-
ness, but it looked pretty small
after that.
80 you see didn't get in
the movies from any inward
desire to express myself"
Just Picked Up Things
The unpretentious Cooper
said: II didn't know anything
about acting. I guess I just
picked up things here and there
from the directors and actors J
worked with"
|. Paying a camerman S65 tc
make a screen test of him, he
eventually won the part of Slim
the second lead with Ronald
Colman, in The Winning oi
Barbara Worth" a 1927 silent
western. At this point he
changed his name from Frank
James Cooper to Gary Cooper
Nan Collins, then a studio
casting director and later ar
actors agent, gave him his
movie name.
Man came from Gary, Ind.
and suggested 1 adopt that
name" Mr.. Cooper once ex-
planned. "She felt it was more
exciting than Frank. I figured
I'd give it a try. Good thing she
didn't come from Poughkeep-
Sic"
Mr.. Cooper's next role. a two.
minute bit in wings" starring
Buddy Rogers and Richard Ar.
len, attracted so much atten-
ton he signed a contract with
Paramount at $500 a week
When the contract expired
Paramount offered him $500
weekly. Instead of signing ht
went fishing for a month, hav.
ing learned the studio was
committed to four more Cooper
films. When he returned, Para
mount signed him for $1,750 6

that day G932)." he said.
They baked me and I told
them that had enough money
left to buy a partnership in a
ranch over in Kenya colony
and that's what I intended to
do. I got what I wanted and
I've been working steady ever
since"
He could take others Jokes
about his acting. Once Come
dian George Burns quipped
that Mr.. Cooper and George
Raft had played a scene with
a wooden cigar store Indian
between them and
THE critics all accused the
Indian of overacting."
AS for picking his movie
scripts, Mr.. Cooper said:
Il consider myself an aver
age moviegoer. If I read a
script and like it, figure the
public will like it."
OF his "yup" and nope"
conversational reputation, he
recalled in 1857:
1T all started years ago when
I was guest on Edgar Bergen's
radio show. The skit writer's
had Charlie Mccarthy wise
cracking in his usual sophisti-
Gated way. I was just the big
cowboy who said either 'yup
or nope through the whole
skit.
1t came off pretty funny and
seemed to catch on with the
public"
Mr.. Cooper saw its possibili.
ties as a defense against pry-
ing gossip columnistS:
When a columnist would ask
me silly questions such aS
whether I slept in the top Of
bottom Of my pajamas, I'd JUS
grunt. If they pressed. I'd shrul
my shoulders and maybe an.
swer nope They soon got tirec
Nof asking me. And I'm still
/ friends with all of them.
Mr.. Cooper seemed alwayI
slightly embarrassed by hi
/ fame. Guests at a testimonial
dinner given for him last Jan
uary by the FriarS, a show
business club, included tht
Governor and other dignitarieS
Praised by Poet Carl Sandburl
and other speakers, Mr.. Cooper
responded:
The only achievement I an
really proud of is the friends
have made in this community.
