Hester, Diarmuid, 1982- . Wrong, 2020: Chapter 1: "Clifford Dennis Cooper was born on January 10, 1953 to a wealthy family from West Covina in southern California. Known simply as Dennis from an early age, dropping his first name helped to distinguish him from his father, also named Clifford, who had come west from Oklahoma twenty years earlier with dreams of making it as a writer. When that didn't work out, he embarked on a successful career as an agricultural policy consultant before setting up the Cooper Development Corporation, an aerospace manufacturer that made parts for America's first space satellite, the Explorer 1. Cooper's mother Ann had similarly thwarted artistic aspirations. Trained as a concert pianist, she gave up her musical ambitions to marry Cooper's father")
