Default Another Old Favorite Gone

Jackie Cooper.

I remember him mainly as Perry White in the Chris Reeve Superman movies.

Cooper reigned with Shirley Temple as one of the most popular child stars of the 1930s.


I didn't realize he went back that far. He certainly had a long and successful career. Four years in the navy too!

Rest in peace, condolences to his sons and thanks for the memories!

I am having a hard time tracking down details on Jackie Cooper's military service. The various news articles give conflicting information.

Anyone have better luck than I have?
