Jimmy Stewart's 100th celebrated in Indiana(PA)

Pittsburgh Tribune Review ^ | 05/18/2008 | staff

[Kid Shelleen]

When he returned home from World War II, Hollywood icon James Stewart was featured on the cover of Life magazine in front of the Indiana County courthouse. "In New York, Stewart refused a hero's welcome," the text read. "Instead, he drove to Indiana, Pa., 50 miles from Pittsburgh. There, in his parents' comfortable red-brick home overlooking the town, he slept late, played the piano and joked with his family about the old days."

Just plain folks. That was the Jimmy Stewart legend. It also appears to have been much of the reality

[Vision]

One of the all time great Americans.

[Clemenza]

One of my all time favorites. Time to put “Harvey” in the DVD player, followed by “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.”

Jimmy Stewart was one of the last great Americans out of Hollywood. A man that obviously loved America and wasn’t ashamed to show it. Now all you get are Marxist asswipes like Richard Gere, Ben Affleck and Sean Penn. Everytime I see a movie, it has at least one star that’s come out against America in some way, shape or form.

My favorite!

Jimmy Stewart's career was legendary:

1930s - 21 movies
1940s - 15 movies
1950s - 22 movies
1960s - 13 movies
1970s - 7 movies
1980s- 1 movie

Can you imagine one of the modern-day Hollywood elites making 22 movies in 1 year?

>>>Time to put “Harvey” in the DVD player<<<
"It's A Wonderful Life "was his signature role but I think Harvey was his greatest performance...

[ConorMacNessa]

I liked him in the Philadelphia Story.

[cubreporter]

That’s because Jimmy Stewart (unlike the three mediocre people you mentioned) didn’t have to make themselves known through outrageous and assinine comments. He was the star. Everyone knew it. He behaved like a dignified gentleman while being a star. Those days of well mannered behaviors and dignity in hollywood are long gone.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Would you want most of the elitists today making that many films a year ?

[mortal19440]

Gee, what was he doing from 1942 until 1946? Imagine these pussies acting today serving their Country.

[tang-soo]

Not only that, he served in the reserves for 28 years.

[Kid Shelleen]

My favorite from Harvey;;
Nice guy or Smart guy

[tang-soo]

His imdb record shows all of his credits here.

[upsdriver]

That should be one decade.

[Williams]

Anatomy OF A Murder is the greatest courtroom film ever made. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance maybe the greatest western. It's A Wonderful Life the greatest Christmas/family film.

And without question, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington the greatest film about politics ever made. I choke up at his desperate filibuster speech every time I see it. I love Jimmy Stewart.

[upsdriver]

It’s a Wonderful Life is my favorite but I loved them all. Jimmy Stewart was one of the truly elite actors.

It used to be great watching him and other stars appear on Johnny Carson. They showed such class and a love for life. Something sorely missing on the talkshow scene today.

When my daughter was a teen-ager,she was so fond of Jimmy Stewart that she wrote to him. He actually wrote to her in return. Nice man.
