Jimmy was much more than a great actor - my gosh, he risked his life for this country, flying so many bombing missions - which he didn't HAVE to sign up for. His dignity and class - he was one of the last of a very rare breed!

My dad was in the Gotha mission where they lost 60% of their planes in one mission but hit the target. When they got back, Jimmy was standing there with , I believe, Colonel Turrell, my dad said Jimmy was crying as he asked my dad what happened.

One of the great stories of Stewart's day was his friendship with Henry Fonda. Absolute best friends yet one a conservative and the other a liberal. When asked how with such different values they could get along, Jimmy said "There's some things we just don't talk about. There's so much more we can talk about". We could use that respect these days.

As I watched this episode with Johnny and General Stewart, I was thinking how much he reminded me of my neighbor, who is in his mid-eighties and still farms about 900 acres with one of his sons. Jimmy Stewart comes across as a man entirely at home with himself and I felt I could just stand at the fence and talk with him about nearly anything.

Showed his picture upon entering service and at discharge. He aged quite a bit hair was thin. His family was shocked at his appearance. It's a wonderful life was his first movie after his service. It said he drew on his war experience to do that anger scheme at his kids in that movie. That was what made it so believable.

He helped finance Thunderbird field in AZ where my dad was stationed and learned to fly the Stearman PT-17, eventually piloted a B-17, 21 years old. Stewart was a very humble guy, did't talk much about his service to our country. He was a great actor, but a far greater Patriot. God Bless him. He reminds me of my dear dad who was just a few years younger and passed last year at 94.

We will not see his like again. Pure class! Also, today's Late Night hosts & the likes of the Young Turks are unfit to lick Johnny Carson's shoes for the same reasons. He & Jimmy Stewart exemplifed why their generation was so special. Their higher standards are sorely missed by many on both sides of the Atlantic no matter what the Left would have you believe.

Jimmy Stewart was a hoot! I'll always remember him on the Carson show. Honest and true, he was the last of the real Hollywood. An honorable man, a True American, loving husband, and good friend. They don't make them like him anymore.

@benters3509 5 лет назад

Strategic Air Command - one of my favorite movies. But this man was the real deal. As stated in another comment, he WAS a bomber pilot, and a commander in WW2. Flew combat missions as well as led the wing. Ended up as a general in the air force (reserve?). They don't come any better than this!

Douglas Thompson I always loved him, because he was not just a great actor, but a decent, good man who loved his country enough to lay his life on the line - over and over with every mission. Reagan was like that, too. Not like Obama, who trashed our country here and abroad.

The man was one of the best all time heart felt actors around. Jimmy Stewart could truly act with sincerity and play many different parts. I loved his poems, he would take true to life situations and turn it into a special story that even brought Johnny Carson to tears. He was a very warm and loving human being who put a part of himself in his work. There will never be another like him or could walk in his shoes. He was special and a God send to this world. I loved his movies especially his 1960's classics. Hwe was like a friend comming into your living room at times,bringing a heart felt story. One of the true legends on film and TV.

machia0705 - He had good traits, and his bad traits, just the same as anyone else. Not to diminish anything that he accomplished in his life, but movie stars are really just like anybody else, in that they have the same fears and worries that we all do. They have to make a living, they have to be able to put food on the table, they have to be able to pay their bills on time, they have to think about getting older and what that means for them, they have to think about their children; if they have any, and think about how they can ensure that their children will have the best future possible after they're gone, and etc. And they're subject to the same kinds of temptations that everyone else faces. The only thing that's really different about them, is the glory that is attached to what they do for a living, and the amount of money that they make in doing it.

The more I learn about him the more I like him and the more impressed I am with him as an actor and as a human being.

@sherri-lynngamracy Год назад

Please watch the Hitchcock film Rope. Absolutely fantastic, based on a true story, and ahead of it's time. Its basically filmed in one continuous shot, as much as film would allow at the time. I think 7 minutes at a time was all they could do. Its absolutely amazing. One would be remiss to ignore The Philadelphia Story. Jimmy at his finest and hands down the best portrayal of someone drunk. Some of the greatest one liners as well

Jimmy Stewart has always reminded me of my grandpa from the first film I saw him in as a child (I was born in 1988 so this would be mid-90s). Seeing him in his later years, they even looked similar. This interview touched my heart, not only because he's one of my favourite classic actors but also it makes me feel connected to my grandpa who passed away in 2010.

I am no longer 18 years old but at that age I used to go to the movies frequently. The picture that I liked him the most was Winchester 73, a Western filmed in Arizona in the late 1940's although Mr. Stewart had various roles in Westerns he won his only Oscar I believe in 1940 for the Philadelphia Story. He was my actor, and when he died a few years ago I cried for 5 days. You believe that these type of talented people and classy individuals and patriots never die. God bless Mr. Stewart!

@eileendoherty5317 4 года назад
