#10: Rumors of a Romance With Gary Cooper Surround the Film
Numerous biographies later claimed that Grace and Gary Cooper became romantically involved while making High Noon. Cooper was more than two decades older and separated from his wife during this period, making the alleged relationship one of the earliest major romance stories attached to Grace’s Hollywood years.

Later biographers have questioned how firmly the affair can be established, so the exact nature of their relationship remains disputed. What is clear is that stories about Grace and her leading men would follow her throughout her short film career. Her next major production would bring another famous co-star and another wave of romantic speculation.
