Gary Cooper

 

Rugadh Cooper faoin ainm Frank James Cooper i Helena, Montana. Bhí cónaí air agus é ina bhuachaill i mBedfordhire, Sasana, lena mháthair Alice, agus a dheartháir ní ba mhó, Arthur Le Roy. D'fhreastail sé ar scoil Dunstable (scoil phoiblí^[1]) idir 1909 agus 1912.

Chuaigh sé ar ais go dtí na Stáit Aontaithe sa bhliain 1912. Gortaíodh é i dtimpiste gluaisteáin agus é trí bliana déag d'aois, agus bhí air bogadh go dtí rainse a athar i Montana, SAM le biseach a fháil, áit a ghnóthaigh sé a chuid scileanna marcaíochta.

Sna blianta 1922 agus 1923, bhí sé ag obair mar threoraí turasóireachta i Yellowstone.

 

Bhog sé go Los Angeles i 1924, áit a fuair sé post mar dhuine sa bhreis sa tionscail scannánaíochta.

Bliain ina dhiaidh dá chéad scannán gearr mar phríomhaisteoir, glaodh go Paramount Studios é agus ofráladh conradh fadtéarmach dó, rud a ghlac sé leis.

D'athraigh sé a ainm go Gary (ó Frank) i 1925, de réir chomhairle a ionadaí, a d'fhás suas i Gary, Indiana.

Thar na blianta, bhí ról ag Cooper i níos mó ná céad scannán. Bhain sé a chéad duais Oscar don Aisteoir is Fearr i 1941 dá ról i Sergeant York. I 1952, bhain Cooper an dara Oscar dá ról mar Marshal Will Kane i High Noon, a léiriú ab fhearr de réir na gcriticeoirí.

 

Fuair Cooper bás ó ailse scamhóige i 1961, sé lá i ndiaidh dó seasca bliain a chomóradh. Cuireadh é i reilig an Chroí Ró-Naofa i Southampton, Nua-Eabhrac.

 

Chuaigh sé faoin scian do ailse próstatach agus putóige an bhliain roimhe sin ach ní raibh modh ann ag an am chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar ailse.

Bhí sé ró-bhreoite chun freastal ar an Oscar in Aibreán 1961, agus dá bhrí sin ghlac a dhlúth-chara James Stewart a Oscar onórach ina áit.

Ba léir ó óráid tochtmhar Stewart go raibh rud éigin mícheart, agus an lá ina dhiaidh bhí ceann-teideal ar nuachtáin ar fud an domhain, "Tá ailse ag Gary Cooper". Mí ina dhiaidh sin, fuair an t-aisteoir bás.
