Gary Oldman (born March 21, 1958, London, England) is an English film actor known for his chameleonic ability to evince characters ranging from nebbishes to snarling villains. Oldman was raised in a working-class family in London, the youngest of three children.
Gary Cooper (born Frank James Cooper; May 7, 1901 – May 13, 1961) was an American actor known for his strong, quiet screen persona and understated acting style. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor twice and had a further three nominations, as well as an Academy Honorary Award in 1961 for his career achievements.
Cooper was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award five times and won twice, for Sergeant York (1942) and High Noon (1952). The latter film boosted his popularity, resulting in him being the number one box office attraction in 1953. Cooper received a third Academy Award—an honorary one—just prior to his death.
During his Georgetown career, Cooper spent a semester abroad in a university near Aix-en-Provence in France. There, he survived with a host family and entirely immersed himself in the French language.
