Two Montana Legends: Gary Cooper & Charlie Russell

  1. Gary Cooper (1901–1961) – Born in Helena. Oscar-winning actor ("High Noon," "The Virginian," "Friendly Persuasion") whose understated masculinity defined mid-century Hollywood.
  2. Charles Marion Russell (1864–1926) – St. Louis-born, raised in Montana from age six. "The Cowboy Artist" immortalized the vanishing West in paint and bronze; works hang in major museums worldwide.
