Product Description
Maria Cooper Janis' heartfelt book offers an unprecedented look at her father's private side, from his Montana boyhood and his Hollywood home life, to his friendships with Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and Jimmy Stewart.Amazon.com Review
Gary Cooper off Camera is a tribute to a Hollywood starthat manages to be sentimental, glossy, and passionate all at the sametime. A fond introduction by Tom Hanks opens the book, but itsmultifaceted pleasures spring from the love of author Maria CooperJanis, who clearly felt it was a unique and great privilege to be thedaughter of Gary Cooper. Janis's writing--from the loving letter toher father's ghost to the text that accompanies the manyphotographs--is charged with filial warmth.

Though the book offersmany glimpses of Cooper on the set, it also sheds light on sides ofthe actor that never appeared on screen: the family man, thesportsman, the host and guest who opened his affections to manyHollywood luminaries. It is these photographs that really make thebook a delight. The camera has loved very few men as much as it didCooper, and this collection captures the ease and joy of an Americanicon who in films often played awkward and alienated figures. Pageafter page of extraordinary black-and-white shots reveal the warmrelationships Cooper had with his family, and with friends like PabloPicasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Jimmy Stewart. This volume offers atender view into a rare and fading kind of celebrity life, one thatappears to have been somehow both glamorous and private. --RaphaelShargel ... Read more

great tribute to a great movie star
Great tribute to Gary Cooper by his beloved daughter. I enjoyed the trip down the memory lane and the candid photos of Cooper, Hemingway, Picasso, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Stewart. I loved the pictures, but I wished there was more writing in this book. More of the life of the great movie star that was Gary Cooper!

Wonderful!
Sometime ago, I found myself searching for spiritual fulfilment. It was critical moment in my life and I felt as though, I was in a desert all alone, exhausted and thirsty, longing to discover an oasis. Art, music, literature and film are some of my interests and I begun exploring them with renewed passion. One day, while flipping through the DVDs at my local store, "High Noon" caught my attention. I didn't buy it then but it stuck on my mind and few days later I went back and bought it. I watched it in the evening. I watched Gary Cooper's performance in awe and I knew, I have found my oasis. Since then, I collected all of his available films, searching for the rare ones all over the world. Seeing these movies is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Gary Cooper gave me a wonderful world of emotional depth, a world of eternal love, friendship, gallantry, selflessness and patriotism. A world-refuge, where I'm able to lose myself for a while and then come back to reality inspired.

Naturally, after seeing 70 Gary Cooper films, I had pretty good idea what kind of a person he was but I wanted to know more about my favorite actor's life. I begun looking for some literature on him and decided not buy any of the biographies based on gossip and written to make their authors some easy buck. Instead, I bought few of his co-stars' autobiographies. Some are very interesting. Hermione Gingold for example, sums up Gary Cooper as a stoic and courageous man in just a few sentences. Nice, but I already knew it. Ingrid Bergman marvels on his naturalism. I agree with her 100%. And she tells interesting stories on filming "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Lilli Palmer shares insides on making of "Cloak and Dagger" but not much about Cooper. Patricia Neal, well, if only I could believed her, but I found her autobiography phoney. Her "remembering" of events and dialogs which supposedly have been happening about 40 y. before she wrote her book, simply lacks credibility. So, I almost gave up and then discovered Maria Cooper's loving tribute to her father.

The book is absolutely wonderful! It is written with love, respect and honesty. Maria is a gifted writer and I couldn't put her book down until I finished it. She shares insides of Cooper's early life, his career, their family life, his battle with cancer, which cut his life short and his last days; there are lovely family photos, photos of Gary &Rockywith their friends Jimmy and Gloria Stewart, the Hemmingways, Picasso, Audrey Hepburn, Gary with his parents, with his monkey pet and much more. My favorite one is Coop with Maria when she was a baby- so sweet!There are also few of his sketches and facts about his taste in food, past times, hobbies and believes.

To me, reading Maria's memoir was an incredible experience. It was like putting the finishing touches on a portrait of Gary, which I painted in my mind earlier, and it is now completed.

I highly recommend "Gary Cooper off Camera" to every Cooper fan. It is simply a must have.

Lastly, I thank Maria for sharing her love for her father with us. Thanks for the great book.

Fabulous for serious Cooper fans!!!
If you ever found Cooper handsome, this book certain has many photos to entertain and foster this thought.

The hardcover is a must! The narrative inside is perhaps average but if you supplement the book with a bio novel on Cooper you'll certainly feel its well worth the expense. Buy, buy, buy

GARY COOPER FANS...ATTENTION!!
This is a great book for initial insight into Gary Cooper by his daughter.It is very obvious she adored her father.The book is very informative about the personal life of "Coope" with many wonderful pictures, however, the book is more images than writing.The details are only touched on.If you are a Gary Cooper & you want many unseen pictures, this is the book for you...

Daddy's Girl
