Coop" Mr.. Stewart said, speak
ing in a faltering voice directly
into the television cameras, and
knowing his old friend was
watching at home. "All of us
are tremendously proud"
Under Heavy SedatiOn
Mr.. Cooper had spent the last
10 days under heavy Sedation
and was fed intravenously
During the weeks before that,
waiting for the disease to run
its course, he had watched TV,
read and summed himself beside
his swimming pool.
Mr.. Cooper epitomized the
American action hero, with his
terse, pithy speech. his shy
manner with women. and the
boyish grin that lighted his
solemn face.
He played rugged outdoors
men in his most memorable
roles-handy with guns or
fists, the envy of men and the
idol of women.
His unmatched career in
stardom began with THE Vir-
ginian," in 1929.
That performance created
the classic western scene: A
showdown gun duel to the
death with a villain in a dusty
lonely street. He mastered the
technique so well that, over
done as the scene became in
later years, Mr.. Cooper won an
Oscar for it in High Noon"
Mr.. Cooper's career expert
enced no serious slumpS, al
though at times he had films
that failed to click with the
movie-going public.
He played many a hero role,
such as gallant Lou Gehrig in
Pride of the Yankees" which
had a poignancy strangely like
that Of Mr.. Cooper's own fatal
illness; the brave idealist in
For Whom the Bell Tolls" an
intrepid officer in Lives of a
Bengal Lancer" and many
others.
More Hits Than Gabel
He had more hit films thar
Mr.. Gable, longtime king o1
Hollywood, and made more
money in later years, but he
never had a classic role like
that of Mr.. Cables Rhett But
Ter in Gone With the Wind"
His 20-year contract with
Warner Bros. called for a pic
ture a year for $275, 900 apiece
On all other pictures, he got
$250,000 plus a percentage OF
the profits.
Mr.. Cooper was a man OF
simple tastes and friendly man.
ner off the screen-far more
approachable and talkative
than legend had it. He made
friends easily. and kept them.
His naturalness, and his sue
cess in Western films, we're
traceable to his childhood in
the west.
He was born Frank James
Cooper on May Z, 1901, in Hele-
ma, Mont, the son of Charles
Henry Cooper, a former Brit
ish barrister who became an
associate justice Of the Mon

Divorce" and attained full
stardom in The Virginian."
Some other Cooper-starring
films in later years included
The Fountainhead," Meet
John Doe" Ball of Fire" and
Casanova Brown"
In 1888 he married Veronica
Balfe, who had appeared in
films under the name Sandra
Shaw and is known to friends
by the nickname Rocky. A
daughter, Maria Veronica Balfe
Cooper, was born to them.
Maria was born in 1887 and
Mr.. Cooper named her for
Ernest Hemingway's heroine in
For Whom The Bell Tolls" a
movie in which he co-Starred
with Ingrid Bergman.
Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Heming-
way were close friends.
Starting in 1851 the Coopers
had marital trouble and were
separated for about three years.
But Mr.. Cooper, who idoli3ed
his daughter, did not want a
divorce.
Before long the beautiful
daughter brought her parents
back together again. Convent
reared. she was responsible,
friends say, for Mr.. Cooper'S
conversion to Catholicism in
1859. Maria and her mother
were both Catholic; Mr.. Cooper
had been an Episcopalian.
In World War II. Mr.. Cooper
made a 23,000-mile tour Of the
Southwest Pacific. appearing
before American servicemen.
Early in his movie career
Mr.. Cooper often worked 20
hours a day.
Paramount used to have me
working in two and sometimes
three pictures at the same
time" he recalled in 1858
These young guys today. in

He said he worked five years
without a day off. then finally

The USO's "Hi Nom" tele-
phone program dates back
to the Korean War when a
local union of the Communi-
cations Workers Of America
sent a check to a Chicago
USO club, suggesting it be
used to pay for telephone
calls home by servicemen.
This practice ended with
the war, but was reactivated
in 1857 in a different form
by the National Communica-
tions Workers Of America
and the USO. On Christmas
Day of that year 10 inmates
of an Army hospital in Seoul,
Korea, made the trans-Pacific
calls home to Nom. courtesy
of the CWA and USO.
