Event details
"Gary Cooper Oscar" at National World War I Museum
Gary Cooper was the only person that Alvin York trusted to portray his story from the Great War. York insisted that if Cooper was not part of the movie he would not authorize the film. Cooper's 1941 portrayal of the World War I hero is considered one of his finest â" and for his exceptional work he was awarded his first Academy Award® for Best Actor. Maria Cooper Janis, the daughter of Gary Cooper, loaned the National World War I Museum her father's Oscar for the special exhibit.
