Gary Cooper made a number of different sacrifices to convince the studio he was the man to play High Noon's Will Kane.
The Big Picture For classic Hollywood legend, Gary Cooper, his most iconic role in his later years came so close to never happening. In an alternate universe, studios and executives follow through on their false intuitions and never cast the actor in the celebrated 1952 Western, High Noon. Today, Cooper is indelible as Marshal Will Kane, and the idea of any other star in this role is unthinkable.
How Gary Cooper Earned the Part of Will Kane in 'High Noon' In 1941, under the direction of Hawks, Cooper won his first Oscar for playing Alvin C. York, a decorated American soldier in World War I, in the biopic, Sergeant York. Having been a mainstay in films for two decades, Cooper appeared to reach the pinnacle of his powers. However, Hollywood, in its unforgiving practice, dismissed the star by the 1950s.
The Impact of the HUAC on the Making of 'High Noon' Gary Cooper was not the only figure who needed to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds going against his favor. The story of High Noon is inextricable from the anti-Communism movement in America that was rampant upon the production and release of the film. The film's screenwriter, Carl Foreman, was a former member of the Communist Party.
