synopsis
Raised on a sprawling ranch in Montana, Gary Cooper received an education in England, where he developed a worldly polish that only served to accentuate his frontiersman roots and incredibly charismatic presence. Actor Clint Eastwood hosts this program which explores the career, myths and legends surrounding this great actor. The film progresses from his early movie-extra days to receiving the 1960 Academy Award for lifetime achievement in films, and inlcudes clips from classic Cooper movies.
