Gary Cooper, my mother's favorite actor.
The above signed 1928 photo was received by my mother when she wrote to Gary Cooper care of the Paramount Studios in that year. My mother is certain that this is a genuine signature as it was early in his career. There was no letter included with the photo.
Again my mother wrote to Gary Cooper care of Paramount Studios and recieved the above photo which arrived at her home on Jan 17 1930. Again, no letter was included.

Note, the signature on this photo is part of the photo.
The above photo was a swap photo from a penpal also interested in Gary Cooper.
As can be seen this is a much later photo of Gary Cooper.
To save memory size this photo has been reduced and cropped. Not shown here, the photo has GC-177 on the bottom right hand corner.
