The Tragic Story Of America's Cowboy

Wow this is sad.

Lupe Vélez planned a beautiful suicide , she decorated her room with flowers and all things beautiful , her bed had satin and lace covered in roses , in full makeup wearing a gorgeous gown she downed a bottle of reds , laid down and waited for the end where she would be found a vision of loveliness ...but then she felt sick from the pills , ran to the bath room to throw up, slipped, hit her head on the toilet, passed out and drowned in the bowl. ... the end .

Gary Cooper, what an ungrateful, cheating fool.

Didn't even mention his greatest film role, High Noon!

he sounds like a really a- hole

“Gone with the Wind” whipped up democratic hatred against my cousin Cump — and against ME as a cousin — to fever pitch. Not a fan of any democratic apologetics, and certainly NOT of GWTW!!!

No mention of Grinnell College?

I see a steady trend with the "stars" of yesteryear, also today. They all F'd around. They fell in love with their co'stars.....or lust? Artists???????

I find it interesting how he had multiple surgeries throughout the years yet was still able to get at it with so many women. I've had several surgeries myself and was sidelined from any sort of physical activity for quite some time. 🤣

Cooper was a hound dog... The guy was banging actresses left & right...
It was too bad he didn't get a chance to change things around.

Clara Bow not only survived the transition to sound films, she remained a top star until 1931. It was her mental breakdown and scandal that made her quit her career. She had a very pleasant speaking voice with only a subtle hint of Brooklynese. Barbara Stanwyck had a much stronger Brooklyn accent and did not hinder her career.

Actually Clara Bow had some successful talkies and her voice was not ‘grating.’

One of my favorite actors, but too bad.He had to be a lousy Womanizer

Really Enjoyed went thru.Montana with Family as child got trained by Champion barrel Racer Horses are.Terrible

He was a beautiful young man but by the time he acted in 'The Fountainhead' he looked worn and bloated. That is usually the unavoidable fate of two-fisted drinkers.

It was disgusting that he killed all those animals I think the countess should have been a better influence and it wasn't gods will he died but not leading a healthy life

My view on him totally broke now😢. Especially because of killing animals for weird pleasure😳🥺🤢

Great video and Gary Cooper was one of my greatest heroes when a teenager!

Sad that some of his greatest adventures were killing lions and rhinos !! Not much of a nature preservationist!

Well, I have a pulmonary doctor that won't tell me how bad of shape I am in. I knew it was bad as I ended up in the hospital 8 days. So when I ask the pulmonary doctor the first time, he just casually changed the subject. Second dr appt visit I ask same question, same thing. I just told him I am the kind of person that wants to know the true, if I am at deaths door, I have business to put in order. I can't afford to die without knowing and leave my family business a mess, that's not fair to my children and the government end up getting what's theres. He said next visit he would have all my results ready and we will go over them. I thanked him.

His interesting relationship with Hemingway, that's what I find interesting

Thank You! I enjoyed the video. Always great photos and information well narated.

Ooo, Lupe! A must do with her sad, yet funny with time, ending...
Thank you 😊

why he gave that asian woman such a dirty look???

Factinate looking forward to YOUR tragic story!

He was gay so what

Casting director AKA CASTING COUCH 🤕

I went under the knife for prostate cancer Thanksgiving Day 2012. If I had it and it was kept from me...there would be fatalities.

Guy sounded like a creep. A user who slept with whomever he could get the most out of.

This was my Mom’s crush!

I found nothing interesting.

Speech police this site, no wonder America is going to hel-.

There is alot of speculation as to Hemingway. If he may have been maybe a closet gay. The number of marriages isn't extraordinary for Hollywood..or even in public these days..
But their relationship might have been More than Just friendship..with maybe a secret relationship they did or didnt do anything about with Irish Catholic feelings..
But his wrighting isnt typical of his macho appearance and actions.
And killing himself maybe true. Just great friends..but HIS possibly being gay isnt anything new. So it's possible..
Not sayjng fact. But. Would be my guess. Lol

Gary was bisexual and incapable of fidelity; but he starred in some of my favorite films.

He was an alley cat . Don't care how handsome he was . Even after he married, he slept with whoever he was attracted to. Knowing he killed animals for sport makes him a monster 💩

He died in 1961 worth $100,000,000.
That's $1,044,588,626. today!
He often took a lower salary in exchange for a percentage of the profits.
Sometimes it worked out, Sometimes it didn't.
In 1954 his salary was $1.4 Million for the movie "Vera Cruz"
He had an eye and gift of art and collected many works.
One of his friends was Pablo Picasso, who he taught how to shoot.
He also played the stock market. His father-in-law was Paul Shields a Wall Street tycoon.
After he forced Patricia Neal to have an abortion, he told her and Lupe Velez that he was going back to his wife.
Neal reportedly had a nervous breakdown but soon recovered and went on to have an affair with the married Kirk Douglas.
Cooper is alleged to have had male lovers too.
Funny how dying suddenly makes a person "religious" and wanting to be "the good husband"
He was a promiscuous
jerk for 24 of his married years and his last affair was with costume designer Irene.
She committed suicide one year after his death by jumping off the 11th floor of the Knickerbocker hotel.

Thank you for the information! I love old movies! ✌🏼😊

In the fifties my dad had prostate cancer which had spread to his bladder. He opted to fight the disease at home with no medical intervention after one hospital stay for a cobalt treatment. Our doctor warned us stringently not to tell him he had terminal cancer because it might result in suicide, i was a child then but later l was troubled by that approach. He suffered greatly, and died two years later. He would have died anyway because cancer treatments were pretty experimental back then.

Good Montana son

Wouldn't he have learned manners going to school in England?

Friends with the Nazi sympathiser pope or was it already John?

U didn't mention Cary Grant. He is the 1 he lived with on & off & the studio didn't like the gay rumors about them. I think Cary was the love of his life.

well gone with the wind SHOULD have been the biggest flop in hollywood history⚛😀
