Gary Cooper (born Frank James Cooper 1901-1961) was an American film actor. He was renowned for his quiet, understated acting style and his stoic, individualistic, emotionally restrained, but at times intense screen persona, which was particularly well suited for the many Westerns he made.

Gary Cooper in Days of InfamyEdit

Gary Cooper's films were among those available in Hawaii after the Empire of Japan conquered the territory in 1942, including many of his Westerns. Despite the fact that Cooper usually played the quintessential American hero, the Japanese soldiers enthusiastically cheered him on as he battled "savage" Amerindians.^[1]
