HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY STEWART! | (May 20, 1908 – July 2, 1997)

Considered by many to be the embodiment of the very best aspects of America, actor James Stewart endeared himself to generations of film lovers with his portrayals of noble, idealistic, yet often conflicted characters that prevailed against the most daunting of odds. Far from the typical leading man, Stewart was lanky and boyish, with a stammering speech pattern that soon became a favorite among comic impersonators. But it was his refreshingly unaffected performances in hits like “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” (1939) and his Oscar-winning turn in “The Philadelphia Story” (1940) that won over critics and audiences alike. A highly-decorated bomber pilot during World War II, Stewart returned to motion pictures in Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946). A film widely regarded as overly sentimental upon its initial release, it went on to become a beloved holiday classic decades later. An actor of remarkable talent and a man of unquestionable integrity, Stewart was that rarest example of a personal reality living up to Hollywood mythology. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES MAITLAND STEWART! (May 20, 1908 – July 2, 1997)
