Scope and Content
Biography
Maria Cooper Janis is daughter of actor Gary Cooper. Janis is a painter, is interested in parapsychology, and has recently written a book about her father and his life off camera. A letter she had sent the year of her father's death is not extant, but there is a copy of Merton's reply. He relates having enjoyed watching Cooper movies before entering the monastery and jokes, "I even had a temptation to hope that if the Seven Storey Mountain became a film, he would play in it. This was a clear case of vanity on my part!!"
