Quotes
Stewart’s friend Gary Cooper also tended toward the taciturn. On one occasion, Cooper dropped by Stewart’s house and asked if he wanted to go for a drive in the Hollywood Hills. The two men were gone for three hours; when Stewart got back to the house, Gloria asked how Cooper was. “I don’t know,” he replied. “I didn’t ask him.”
“Coop didn’t waste many words,” Stewart would remember. “Remember once we went for a long walk. Aaaah, big bird flew overhead. Cooper pantomimed a gun and said BANG! … High point of the afternoon’s conversation.” (p213)
