Synopsis
Although Cooper portrayed the archetypal American man in such classic films as "Meet John Doe" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town", and heroic, larger-than-life figures in "High Noon" and "Pride of the Yankees", the actor's personal life was far from ideal. Remembrances by the actor's daughter, close friends, and fellow actors provide insight into Cooper's darker side: his troubled relationships and his cooperation with the House Un-American Activities Committee, which blacklisted numerous Hollywood screenwriters and actors for their supposed Communist ties.

Publisher's Note
"Gary Cooper" is a robust portrait of a great star whose contradictions only enhance the artistry with which he created some of the most unforgettable and enduring characters of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Jeffrey Meyers creates a portrait based on the full cooperation of the actor's daughter as well as such colleagues and close friends as Arlene Dahl, Patricia Neal, and Fay Wray, with whom Meyers conducted extensive interviews. He examines every aspect of Cooper's life, beginning with his youth in England and Montana where he was a real cowboy before making the leap to Hollywood to create some of the quintessential western characters in movie history - awkward, honest men who captured America's imagination with an irresistible air of simplicity. As this meticulously researched book tracks his film career in detail, it also chronicles his tempestuous relationships with Clara Bow, Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, and Patricia Neal (to name only a few of the many women in his life); explores his long friendship with Ernest Hemingway; and takes a clear-eyed look at his controversial involvement with the House Un-American Activities Committee and the Hollywood blacklist.

Industry reviews
"Though Meyers offers some colorful accounts of film industry personalities, his overall tone is inconsistent and his chronology is occasionally muddled....[T]he man himself [is left] unexamined, less an actor than one acted upon."
New York Times Book Review - Michele Orecklin (06/28/1998)
