Which classic Hollywood leading man played a six-pack of real people on the silver screen, including Lou Gehrig, Marco Polo, and Wild Bill Hickok?
Answer Gary Cooper
Cooper may have made a habit out of playing real men, but it was only his role as real-life sergeant Alvin C. York in 'Sergeant York' (1943) that yielded an Oscar. He also won a Best Actor statuette 10 years later for 'High Noon'.
