Merian Caldwell Cooper was an American film director and producer, as well as a military officer and adventurer. Cooper's exploits took him around the world, as he both served in the American and Polish armed forces during several conflicts and traveled the globe to document his adventures as part of the Explorers Club. While Cooper was a member of the board of directors for Pan American Airways, he was most passionate about filmmaking and worked for several studios as a producer and director. He is credited as a co-inventor of the Cinerama film projection process. His most famous work was his collaboration with his friend Ernest Schoedsack on the groundbreaking King Kong, which he produced, wrote, and directed based on his own idea. Cooper was awarded an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement in 1952 and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. Cooper died from cancer in 1973 at the age of 79, but his son Richard was later awarded the rights to the King Kong character in a lengthy court battle between several studios after a federal judge found that Cooper was the rightful owner of the character and scenario. Cooper's estate continues to collaborate with DeVito ArtWorks on the King Kong of Skull Island media property to this day. He is also posthumously credited for creating the original story on the 1976 and 2005 remakes of King Kong.
