‘My Dad Died in My Arms’: Bradley Cooper Shares Personal Revelation at Caregiving Event.

The stereotype of a caregiver is often limited to an older spouse or a middle-aged daughter, but in reality, family caregivers span every age, gender, ethnicity and profession. One powerful example is actor and filmmaker Bradley Cooper, who became a family caregiver to his father, Charles, in his mid-30s. At the time, the actor was at the height of building his Hollywood career, yet he put some of it on hold to be by his father’s side during a five-year illness with lung cancer.

Cooper’s story underscores a vital truth: Caregiving doesn’t follow a script. Sometimes it’s a young professional, working couples, retired spouses or even celebrities. Cooper, now 50, spoke about how profoundly his caregiving experience changed him during a special screening of the new PBS documentary, Caregiving, at the United Nations in New York City on June 12.
