Re the photo of Gary Cooper hunting: You don't see many of those. Although he hunted a lot, he needed glasses to shoot. Hence, not many photos of him in the field.

Shows what I know about Hollywood then. I did not know about the wartime plane crash that killed Lombard, breaking Gable's heart.

Gable’s Jaguar XK120 Roadster sold in an online auction just a few weeks ago. It was painted a medium metallic bronze color and had been tastefully customized by George Barris. If you are not a Jag aficionado, you’d never notice that anything had been changed.

i recall a book reference to gable in early 1930's, being in an arizona deer camp with a telescope sighted rifle. it said there were two items of interest - the star and the rifle - and noted the rifle attracted more attention.

Gary Cooper came by the Western roles naturally, coming from Montana. He attended Grinnell College in Iowa (my wife's alma mater and current employer) but did not graduate.
