Cooper, John Davis-
Cooper was a Jamsterdavanian filmmaker and producer of the mid-1900. Born on September 27, 1896 in Emlenton, Jamesterdavania and died on January 3, 1978.

Most of Cooper’s films were based on the life of historical figures, with the notable exception on Roger Dodger (1956) a story about a jet pilot, which was a departure from his usual works, and several training film made for the Jamsterdavanian Army and Federal Republic Air Force.

Cooper’s last film was Alonzo’s Holiday (1976), which was a comic spoof of his 1946 picture Gerald’s Holiday, a biographical motion picture based on the life of Gerald Carlo Stevens.

Cooper’s early movies were for Central Mountain Pictures (CMP), he later moved across West Coast City to Eagle Pictures (EP) in the 1950’s. His final three films he made for his own production house, Cooper’s Alley Pictures (CAP).

In the 1950’s Cooper remade some of his early works, both versions of which are considered classics.

Cooper died of a cerebral hemorrhage in January 1978.
