Gary Cooper: American Icon.

I also <3 Gary Cooper, but my favorite Cooper is probably the greeting card writing, tuba playing Gary Cooper from Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. That scene where he gets the butler to hoot like a freight train in the hall cracks me up every time.

Nevertheless, I feel like I need to link to this recollection from Roger Ebert about John Wayne's self-confessed liberalism.

Brother would be likely to say that Cooper, like Wayne, is a 'sandbox': like the place where children play they stand for whatever we want them to be.
