American actor Gary Cooper with actress Deborah Kerr September 1960.
Gary Cooper, born Frank James Cooper in Helena, Montana, 7th May 1901. Educated at Dunstable college, England, until WW1. Film career- Cooper wom two Academy Awards, for " Sergeant York" and " High Noon", coming at different periods of his career - one in which he was the optimistic hero of the past and the other when he was the pessimistic retainer of the past. In fact more than 60 of Coopers films were set in the past. It may well have been that it was what he represented in American history and culture as well as his performance in these films for which he was honoured. As one critic said, Gary Coopers face was ".....the map of America. In it we read our past. We liked it or did not like it, but we could not turn away from the compelling man who represented it."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic American actor Gary Cooper alongside the talented actress Deborah Kerr in September 1960. Gary Cooper, originally known as Frank James Cooper, was born on May 7th, 1901, in Helena, Montana. Educated at Dunstable college in England during World War I, he later embarked on a remarkable film career. Cooper's talent and dedication earned him two Academy Awards for his outstanding performances in "Sergeant York" and "High Noon". These accolades came at different stages of his career - one portraying him as an optimistic hero of the past and the other showcasing his portrayal of a pessimistic retainer of history. Interestingly enough, over 60 of Cooper's films were set in historical periods. Perhaps it was not only his exceptional acting skills but also what he symbolized within American history and culture that led to these honors. As one critic eloquently put it, Gary Cooper's face was like a map of America; through it we could read our past. Whether we liked or disliked it, there was no denying the magnetic pull exerted by this compelling man who embodied our nation's essence. Sadly, Gary Cooper passed away on May 13th, 1961. However, this timeless photograph serves as a cherished memento from an era when two legendary actors graced us with their presence and left an indelible mark on cinematic history.
