James Maitland Stewart, 89 (20th May 1908 - 2nd July 1997) was an American actor and military officer who is among the most honoured and popular stars in film history. A major Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player, Stewart was known for his distinctive drawl and down-to-earth persona, which helped him often portray American middle-class men struggling in crisis. Many of the films he starred in have become enduring classics.

@skook68 5 лет назад

Absolutely one of a kind. A true gentleman and so funny and witty. I loved absolutely everything he was ever in and loved the fact that he was a dedicated and faithful husband. You will always and forever be missed.

James Stewart was a gem. He was not only part of an older school that seemed to have more integrity in acting, but a delightfully unique personality. We miss you, Mr. Stewart! Thank you so much for posting this, George Pollen!

Most recently I haven’t a new favourite actor but I’m still looking cause my first to fav. Pics are sure hard to beat. Jimmy Stewart I loved your acting dearly and I loved hearing your voice. You sure were a handsome fellow. My favourite movie you did is Its a wonderful life adorned by all especially at Christmas..

James Stewart was a great actor,a great American,who embodied all that is best in America,a truly decent man and an heroic war-time pilot and he made so many great films that it's hard to pick a favourite but for me,it's The Man That Shot Liberty Valance.

Yes. So the other day a news bit came on and there was Johnny Depp in a stupid looking French Beret, flapping his gums, full of himself....... and I longed for the days of Jimmy Stewart, of a dignity and class long vanished.... of a legend of an actor that actually said things were pausing to listen to. I just smirked and turned off the television grateful for old clips like this on youtube and on DVD. And grateful too that I was born in 1957 and not after 2000. Rest gently Jimmy you legend you.

@linleona7959 5 лет назад

His was a life well-lived. He was a wonderful man, and a gifted actor. Whether it was a comedy or drama he was captivating in it. I had the great good fortune to take a course with Roger Ebert studying the films of Capra and Hitchcock. It was wonderful to revisit so many fine performances by Jimmy Stewart. Rear Window,Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much and Rope were the Hitchcock films.. Both he and Cary Grant were chosen by Hitch to star in 4 movies by the he Master of Suspense. Of course, It's A Wonderful Life was the favorite Capra film, both in the class and so many homes at Christmas. Dear Jimmy you touched so many hearts by being a hero on screen and in real life.

Jimmy was rejected by the military once because he was too skinny. He stayed a beanpole all his life -tall and so thin. He tried to gain weight and barely made the minimum weight for being a military pilot and had a distinguished career.

@lovinsnotfun-eranymore5213 5 лет назад

I've been a Fan of Jimmy's for about 57 years now - from age 7 - 8. I was Very Young when I discovered him, and that May Likely have come from seeing his movie - Harvey. Then only by absolute chance I found a basically plain Shiny Yellow covered paperback book only about 1/2 " thick in my school library. He wrote about his youth and growing up. I think I remember him writing in it that he had also studied karate for a bit only as to some bullies in the neighborhood and him being so skinny. I really Doubt Jimmy ever looked for a fight - except for in WW2 . IF there was ever a person and Man that Deserved to live to Be A Healthy 200 years old. That would be Jimmy Stewart !!! I Truly believe that Johnny Carson would have Absolutely Loved to have JImmy on for a guest once a month . . and " so would've I " He'll Always Be My Absolute FAVE, and Never Forgotten. One GReat Gentlemen - Jimmy . .

I'm now gonna search my public library here on the net for everything Jimmy available, and when it opens up again . . I'll go in and see what else they just Might have available for me ... ? I'd like to watch Harvey again - and to own it on dvd ! . . I Better check my VHS recording here 1st - as I just might already have it recorded from my past dish ?? I cut my cable about 10 years ago so all my entertainment comes from YT, and books n dvd's are easily just borrowed from the library here. This connection brought to my memory that on Nov. 22 2004. I was shopping at Walmart SS in Woodstock, Ont., and I discovered a vast selection of dvd's in thin cardboard packages, with full coloured pictures on them in cellophane wrapping - for $1.37 each. I have kept my receipt for all in one of the Jimmy's movies I bought that day. They're all from old 30's and up movies to late 70's sitcoms with several episodes on each. Including Bonanza, Red Skelton, Shirley Temple, Ozzie and Harriet ( The Nelsons ) < I think I was a newborn at the time of that show lol , + Dragnet and etc, etc. Some I now see that I still haven't got around to opening yet. " So they are now on standby to soon view on the rainy days " I'm now starting to search for the Full series of Adam 12 on dvd also. I don't know . . I've just never tired of watching That show ! 2 Very Good actors - Reid and Malloy. Have A GReat weekend !!

@cynthiaennis3107 4 года назад

Lovinsfun - er those are wonderful ideas! I didn’t even think to search online! I’m glad you found some nice treasures to watch! I used to watch many reruns of all those old shows! They are a great comfort to watch...being from a time when I thought as a child that only good things really happened in the world. I have several movies on CD that are from way back as well...some Cary Grant, I do have Harvey...if we lived close by, I’d share it with you. I don’t have tv...just an iPad & small DVD player. Also, I found some of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet on dvd, which takes me quite a ways back! Best of luck in your search for more treasures! Thanks for your great comments! And I really loved this video! One of the best!

@alwayswondering4051 4 года назад

I think maybe some hopefuls think that maybe they too may be one of the old time greats like Stewert. But no one ever will be like any of the stars that grew from the theatre's beginnings. Not because they are not superlative artists, but because the birth of Hollywood stands alone. Call it a special dish from a menu that can never be ordered again. I will never-ever forget something someone once said about learning true acting. 'If you really want to learn the acting craft, watch the work of Jimmy Stewart'. I don't think anyone could ever do any better.

@hrob2648 4 года назад

I whole-heartedly agree. You put that so well. Yes Jimmy Stewart really was the best actor. He lit up the screen, he acted with his long arms, long legs, long fingers, he acted with his eyes, his eyebrows, his forehead, even his nostrils, he performed from his heart and soul, and his presence was always intense. He was fiery when speaking his lines, jumping from long speeches to offside reflections then back to an authoritative tone. Jimmy was the full real deal, and no other screen actor has ever come close. And in interviews like this, you see that he really was the best of men, full of integrity, courage, gumption, spirit, magnanimity, and remarkable intelligence.

He was a wonderful man.I loved all his movies, and it was a tradition in our family household to watch It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas. My great good fortune was to take a course with Roger Ebert in Chicago that featured the movies of Capra and Hitchcock in 1977 at Columbia College.. I loved revisiting so many of these classic films and Jimmy Stewart was in many of them. Such a gifted actor whether it was comedy or drama. I feel his was a life well-lived. I was captivated by all his poems, whether they made me laugh or cry. Dear Jimmy, you touched so many hearts. We still watch your movies with love and laughter and longing for your humanity that shines through in all your films, be more present in cinema today. God bless your soul.

@tomtransport 5 лет назад

A very early movie he was in was (1936) Rose Marie. He was the criminal brother of Jeannette MacDonald (Rose Marie). He was arrested by the Mounted Policeman Nelson Eddy. Kind of the back story with those two singing at each other. I always thought it was a part he should have turned down. Probably, at the time, as he put it in the interview-----------You took some parts cause ---"I needed the work/money". The story about his dog breaks your heart, I love animals too. Glad nobody asked me to speak after he finished reading it. Vertigo is my favorite movie that he stars in.

It has stayed with me for 50 years. That painful moment of departure, the unknowing, the dreading, the love.

One actor that really stepped up to the plate when needed. Was a B17 pilot flying combat missions over Germany, and ended up a squadron commander.
