These two actors were a hit in their film Meet John Doe about a down and out-of-work baseball player that gets conned into pretending he's going to kill himself so the female lead - a journalist - can get a newspaper article out of the deal. Romance and mayhem ensue. Who are these popular actors that were paired in a total of three films?

Answer Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck

Gary Cooper was very excited to work with Barbara Stanwyck, whom he thought could act the heck out of anything. He accepted the script for Meet John Doe sight unseen to work with her. Stanwyck was a consummate professional, refusing to act in any roles opposite a "nobody". She was happy for the chance to work with Cooper, and their on-screen chemistry made them a box office crowd-pleaser in their other two films as well.
