Gary Cooper

Eternally likable American film actor Gary Cooper received his first Academy Award nomination for Mr. Deeds Goes to Town in 1936, and won the award after his second Oscar nod for 1941's Sergeant York.

The next year he played Lou Gehrig in The Pride of the Yankees and was nominated again, and was nominated for a third time the year after that for For Whom the Bell Tolls. His second and final Oscar win came for one of the quintessential entries in the Western genre he was so associated with—the 1952 classic High Noon.
