EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the youthful beauty and innocence of Gladys Cooper, an English actress of stage and screen, in the late 1910s. With her long, dark plaits cascading down her back and a downcast gaze, Cooper exudes a schoolgirl charm that belies the extraordinary career that lay ahead of her. Born in 1888, Cooper began her acting career on the stage, making her professional debut in 1912. She quickly gained recognition for her versatility and range, appearing in both comedies and tragedies. Cooper's talent did not go unnoticed by Hollywood, and she made her film debut in 1931 in the classic drama "The Chance Game." Over the next several decades, Cooper became a familiar face in both British and American films, earning critical acclaim for her performances in a diverse range of roles. She was particularly known for her portrayals of strong, independent women, often playing against type as villains or character actresses. Cooper's career spanned six decades, and she remained active in the industry until her retirement in the late 1960s. She was a trailblazer for women in the entertainment industry, paving the way for future generations of actresses. This portrait, with its timeless beauty and hint of mystery, offers a glimpse into the early life of a remarkable woman and the promising start of an illustrious career.
