It has been reported that Academy Award nominated actor Jackie Cooper has died at the age of 88.
Cooper — who was nominated for an Oscar when he was 9-years-old — passed away yesterday at a hospital in Beverly Hills after a sudden bout with illness.
Cooper was a highly respected director in his adult years — winning Emmy awards for his work on “M*A*S*H*” and “The White Shadow.”
Cooper famously played the role of The Daily Planet newspaper editor in the 1978 “Superman” film.
