When I accepted and he asked if I would mind picking up Barbara Stanwyck, I was delighted. I had always thought she was one of the greatest. The Lady Eve and Double Indemnity are two of my favorite films and feature two of the many terrific performances she gave through the years. I arrived at her door promptly at 6:30 P.M., a huge bouquet of pink peonies in hand. The maid said she would be right down, took the flowers, and offered me a glass of champagne. Barbara came down a few minutes later, looking terrific in something silver and slinky. She carried on about the flowers as the maid brought them in and joined me for some champagne. I was anxious to get things off to a good start with the right kind of small talk, but unfortunately I was out of touch with the latest gossip. I asked how and where her husband was. An expletive told me how she felt about her husband: “That son of a bitch ran off with some kraut starlet.” As I struggled to pull my foot out of my mouth, she started to laugh and said, “Don’t worry about it, baby, he’s not worth sweating over,” and the rest of the evening went like gangbusters. We arrived at 7:30 on the dot and were met at the door by Rocky, Mrs. Gary Cooper, who hugged Barbara and said, “He’s going to be so glad to see you.” Cooper and Stanwyck had made a couple of great films together, Meet John Doe and Ball of Fire, the latter for Sam Goldwyn, whom she liked even though she referred to him as “that tough old bastard.” Rocky sent Barbara out to the garden to see Coop, took my arm, and showed me around their lovely home. As we walked into the garden, I spotted him laughing with Barbara. Rocky took me over to meet him. He was tall, lean, warm, and friendly. The thing I remember most about him is the twinkle in his deep blue eyes, which were framed by thick dark lashes. He was a movie star.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Farley Granger" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/farley-granger/gary-cooper-called-to-invite-me-to-a-dinner-party-he-was-giving-for/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3d2/farley-granger-60540_barbara-stanwyck_gary-cooper-called-to-invite-me-to-a-din_2839302.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3d2/farley-granger-60540_barbara-stanwyck_gary-cooper-called-to-invite-me-to-a-din_2839302.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3d2/farley-granger-60540_barbara-stanwyck_gary-cooper-called-to-invite-me-to-a-din_2839302.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Gary Cooper called to invite me to a dinner party he was giving for Clark Gable at his house.
