Dame Gladys Constance Cooper, DBE (18 December 1888 – 17 November 1971) was an English actress whose career spanned seven decades on stage, in films and on television.

As a teenager in Edwardian musical comedy and pantomime, she starred in dramatic roles and silent films before the First World War. She managed the Playhouse Theatre from 1917 to 1933, where she played many roles. From the early 1920s Cooper won praise in plays by W. Somerset Maugham and others.

In the 1930s she starred steadily in productions both in London's West End and on Broadway. Moving to Hollywood in 1940, Cooper found success in a variety of character roles. She received three Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress, for performances in The Song of Bernadette (1943), My Fair Lady (1964) and, most famously, Now, Voyager (1942). Throughout the 1950s and 60s she worked both on stage and on screen, continuing to star on stage until her last year.

The David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, produced by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504. It measures 4.34 meters in height (5.14 meters with the base) and it is taken from a block of white Carrara marble, abandoned after the failure of other sculptors. Michelangelo was able to take advantage of the narrowness of the block of marble and get around one of its faults (a breach in which he dug the space between the right arm and the torso). Michelangelo represented David, a sling (leather strap used as a slingshot) in his hand, just before his fight against the giant Goliath.

Originally placed in front of the Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the determination of a young republic against the tyrant, the original has been exhibited in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence since 1873. The David that can be seen in front of the Palazzo Vecchio is a replica installed in 1910.
