With my own eyes I saw James Stewart sob into the microphone: “Hold out, Coop, I’m coming.” At that moment I knew that Gary Cooper was dying.

The only achievement I am really, really proud of is the friends I have made in this community; and I use the word community in it’s larger sense. Just looking around this room makes me feel that my life has not been wasted. And if anybody asks me, am I the luckiest guy in the world? My answer is, yup.

“
I am very honored to accept this award tonight for Gary Cooper. I am sorry he’s not here to accept it, but I know he’s sitting by the television set tonight, and, Coop, I want you to know I’ll get it to you right away. With it goes all the friendship, and affection, and the admiration … and the deep respect of all of us. We’re very, very proud of you, Coop. All of us are tremendously proud.
