Happy Birthday, Gary Cooper (May 7th, 1901 - May 13th, 1961) 

“I looked at it this way.   To get people to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal.  I don’t mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy.”
