Trivia
Born at 12:35pm-PDT
Nephew of director Norman Taurog
Served in the United States Navy and held the rank of Captain. In the 1976 Bicentennial Special on TV was in uniform aboard the carrier USS Constellation.
Until 13-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for Best Actress in 2004, he was the only actor to earn a Best Actor/Actress nomination for an Academy Award before his/her 18th birthday. Seventeen other actors have earned Oscar nominations as children, but all except Keisha were in the supporting categories.
When he refused to do a crying scene on the set of Skippy, director Norman Taurog, who was also his uncle, threatened to shoot his dog.
When his first son was to be obligated to a long-term contract with MGM, Cooper's studio at the height of his fame as a child, he intervened and convinced his ex-wife (the boy's mother) to decline: "It's no way for a kid to grow up." Adamantly opposed to children acting to the exclusion of a normal upbringing, based on his own life experiences. None of Cooper's four children were performers.
Son John "Jack" Anthony Cooper born August 19, 1946.
Children with Barbara: Russell (born 1956), Julie (1957-1997), and Cristina "Crissy" (born 1959).
Separated from wife Barbara when he was in his fifties, but they later reconciled.
Third wife Barbara born c. 1927.
Attended the same high school as Angelina Jolie, Michael Klesic, Nicolas Cage, Lenny Kravitz, David Schwimmer, Jonathan Silverman, Gina Gershon, Rhonda Fleming, Rob Reiner, Antonio Sabato Jr., Pauly Shore, Michael Tolkin, Betty White, Corbin Bernsen' , Elizabeth Daily, Albert Brooks, and Crispin Glover.
Along with Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, and Marc McClure, he is one of only four actors to appear in the first four Superman films: Superman, Superman II, Superman III, and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
As of 2005, he's the youngest actor to be nominated for "Best Actor in a Leading Role" at the Academy Awards.
