I'm also 17 and ive been hooked on Jimmys acting for a few years now. First one I saw was Rear Window since im a huge fan of Hitchcock. It's been my favorite movie ever since the first time I watched it. Nice to see other people my age interested in this.
they don't make'em like that any more just a bunch of pretty boys nowadays Stewert was a air force pilot in WWII yep the real macoy he would have been twice the president ronnie reagan was
I'm 29 and I also absolutely love Jimmy Stewart. I only recently started watching his films and instantly fell in love with him! Not only was he a captivating actor, but he was an even better person. He was handsome, charming, humble, a man of integrity, devoted to family, devoted to his country, and was well respected. I only wish there were more like him today in Hollywood.
I'm seventeen and Jimmy Stewart is my all-time favorite actor. Nobody my age understands why I adore him so much, or who he is for that matter, but if they would just take ten minutes from their lives to watch this, then they could only begin to understand.
James Stewart was and still is and will always be the greatest actor ever!! My favorite movie of his is Vertigo, and all of his other 79 movies are right be hind that one. He was more than just a movie star. He was a loving husband, father, son, and I personally feel that his greatest accomplishment in life was serving his country in World War II. God Bless James Maitland Stewart.
@shawnmalki Watch the collective works of Jimmy Stewart (which you obviously haven't done) and then come back to ME. Reese Witherspoon doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Jimmy Stewart. Get a clue.
@lighthouse44 I don't want to start a debate, but let me assure you that I have every single James Stewart movie ever made (even the cameos) and I have watched them 16 times each. It's just that James and Reese have one thing in common, they can be the most talented comedians ever and they can be the most tear-jerking dramatic actors ever. They both have a wide range of genres. Even Reese said that she likes Tom Hanks, who, by many people, is considered the new James Stewart.
I don't know if I've dreamt this or imagined it...but I seem to remember a fim/movie..starring James Stewart where he's on a train and as the train passes the back of some houses he sees a man attacking a woman in an upstairs window..he gets off at the next station and tries to find the house...did I dream this or is it an actual film...anybody know ?
I love Rear Window so it for the first time when I was 11 I think went with my parents to a downtown theatre where they were showing it don't know why I liked it at such a young age but I did! :)
James Stewart, esteve no Rio de Janeiro, em 1957,acompanhado da esposa Gloria,falecida em 1994.Foi o ator mais "querido" que meu país, Brasil conheceu.Seus filmes e sua simpatia tornam a vida um deleite de ser vivida.Que Deus o abençoi além desta vida...Marcos Maurício
Actor Jimmy Stewart was a B17 pilot. He was already an Oscar nominated actor when he finally joined the AAF. "Finally" because he was rejected due to his low weight. He hired a body builder to gain weight but was rejected again. Third time he begged the clerk into letting him please pass. He flew to Schweinfurt, Germany, the raid where 600 men and 60 planes were lost. Stewarts last combat flight in a bomber was over Vietnam in a B52.
If you want to see some thing really good type in jimmy Stewart roast. its when fellow actors praise jimmy but its really funny they take the p*** but thats fine
James Stewart has always been my all-time favorite actor. This is only a small representation of his enormous range. It ticks me off when anyone compares anyone else to Stewart. He was one of a kind.
Jimmy Stewart is now one of my favorite old hollywood actor. I recently watched Mr. Smith Goes To Washington because lots of people told me that i should see it. I loved it, Its a Wonderful Life is still my #1 favorite of his. I introduced my best friend to its a wonderful life and she loved it.
The reason he didnt win that year was because of an actor named Robert Donat in Goodbye, Mr. Chips. I love Stewart, but Donat kicks his ass in that movie. Try seeing that movie first, but it didnt matter anyways Jimmy Stewart got an Oscar the next year for the Philadelphia Story. Some say he really got the oscar that year for Mr. Smith Goes To Washington from the previous year, which also where the term hold over Oscar comes from. Which is why some say 2 men won the best actors's oscar in 1939.
Back in the 70s-when i was a kid-I saw a movie on TV. I think it starred James Stewart. It was set during wartime-all I remember now is the end-a lady who is a singer, performing to an audience, though she has just recieved the news her husband/lover, a soldier [JS?], has been killed at the front...Anyone know what movie this is? Thanks!
Shup up you jealous idiot. Jimmy Stewart was easily one of the best actors of all times, he has more talent in his little finger than you in your whole body. And of course he wasn't a racist, it's just bad defamation. He was a good man and a wonderful actor.
I love this old wonderful black/white-movies. The 40s were the best decade of film-history. The best actors ever: Cary Grant, James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Movies: Casablanca, The Philadelphia Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Arsenic and Old Lace, Notorious, The Maltese Falcon, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Bringing up Baby, Woman of the Year, Key Largo, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, All Through the Night, Angels with Dirty Faces, The Roaring Twenties
Jimmy Stewart had possibly the best resume in actor history. He was in a great variety of films - everything from westerns to slapstick comedies to psychological thrillers to heartwarming dramas, many of them classics. He could make you feel anything - sad, uplifted, scared or laughing, all the while retaining his great charm and persona. He was also a great humanitarian, a military hero, a successful businessman, a patron of the classics, and a good friend to many. A great man, all in all.
sad, henry corbetson, you can't just say shit like that without backing it up, or else you just want to look like a finger-pointing, name-calling, 12-year-old, ingorant little bastard, which i'm willing to believe, far more that i'll ever believe that jimmy stewart was a nazi.
Great tribute to a great man. Jimmy Stewart was a real live hero, demanding that he get on the frontline fighting the Nazis. His acting roles have stood the test of time and I just wish there were more like him today. I can't think of any other actor who has the emotional impact Jimmy did. RIP JImmy, you gave more to the world than you could ever get back.
Mangina seeing you are so all knowing, tell me what is a Nazi? And I won't settle for you usual B.S. non answers. Hey pussy it is time to put up or shut up. So why did wikopedia ban you for life?
What's WRONG with you!? Seriously! Jimmy Stewart wasn't gay, he'd never have hurt a fly. At least some of your other points were arguments... kind of... but that's just a cruel statement, not to mention ridiculous and untrue. Because they lived together, which they did when they went to Hollywood since they were friends, doesn't mean anything. You must be a cruel and mean spirited person clearly and you apparently don't have the heart to like a nice man.
Mangina, as usual your are dead WRONG! You are such a fool to believe anyone would think a 14 year old under educated limey puck knows any thing about history let alone be able to read and comprehend the words on a page! You are a liar and a libilist! By the way hows that mommy of yours doing?
In Manginas world anti semitism is all right if it is one of his nutty buddy friends like sean the wife beater penn or spikey the little weewee lee. Better clean out your own back yard with your hero worship of anti semitic trash before you accuse others with no proof and only very old and long since disproved here say of being what you worship in your heros. By the way little it, how's that mommy of yours doing?
Now now Mangina, you should never say things that are not true. Cause a liar is one of the worst things you can be. Also being a homophobe is not smart either. So why do you hang out with such homophobe friends on youtube? And you do know who I am talking about. By the way, how is that mommy of yours doing?
Being racist doesn't make a person sick or evil. As I've said before nobody watching this video cares what a bunch of liberals with nothing better to do think of James Stewart. Why not go to some forum somewhere and bother others with this crap?
I don't care what they have to say and neither does anybody else watching these videos. Jimmy Stewart was a great man and a fantastic actor no matter whatever slanderous words somebody printed in a book.
What the devil does that have to do with anything? Why do you feel the need to throw your liberal views all over the place. Nobody here gives a damn what you think James Stewart was. Take your liberal views and throw them onto some blog where all of you spend your lives bitching about how good men might have been racist because nobody here wants to read that.
I am amazed how some of you tend to break down EVERYTHING by race. The ones consumed by this issue are the ones who are having the actual problem and they try to justify their own feeling of guilt by accusing others of the same sin. Guilty conscience points fingers !!!
Donald Dewey's excellent 1996 biography contains a good deal of information. One of Stewart's closest friends, Leonard Gershe, said that he had always been uncomfortable with black people.
Dewey's sources have their own biases and agendas and your other references are from sensationalistic hacks who can say anything, but ANYTHING about any "Dead White Actor," ala` "Hollywood Babylon," while enjoying the luxury of never having to face a rebuttal by a deceased or aged-to-the-point-of-enfeebled actor. If Stewart was a full-blown racist he would never have donated to an African American church. Every villifying example you've ever cited, Obama/JR/HC, re: Steward is debateable
There's been a lot of mutual animosity between you and me but I told you before I'm tired of all that. You are intelligent to know that precious few examples of Stewart's alleged racism exist and that those are the only ones you always seize upon and repeat. But if there's any truth to any of them (and too few to establish a pattern!) then they're weaved into the whole tapestry of Stewart's life which, overall, has endeared him to, rather than alienated him from, the American/world public.
*you are intelligent enough. BTW, how do you feel about Tom Hanks? He is the most Stewart-like of any actor today, albeit with personal differences from Stewart, esp. re: politics. Hanks is, IMO and A LOT of people's opinions, one of the best and most beloved actors working today. Many of Hanks's fans like him for the same reasons they liked Stewart.
I like Tom Hanks, although he isn't one of my favourite actors. It is notable that Hanks greatly admired Stewart as an actor, even though he must have strongly disagreed with him on every political issue. I would imagine that Stewart would not have approved of films like "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump".
Yes, I did carry the whole "Stewart racism" thing too far. FWIW, I believe that Stewart was a racist in the same way that my grandfather (born 1924) is a racist. Both men were products of a bygone era in which white people generally did not mix with black people, and in this country working-class people believed in King George V, the Empire, doctors, teachers, priests etc. It seems that Al Jolson, for example, was not a racist, but I certainly feel uncomfortable watching his act.
You're demonstrating much more class, Obama, than I'd have been able to acknowledge in the past. Agreed that Jolson's act is entirely out of place in a modern climate of slowly-improving relations between caucasians and persons of color. However, in his day Jolson's act wasn't perceived as maliciously-motivated even by the African American community, who welcomed him into their clubs. All things considered, though, it's a good thing that blackface entertainment is now in the dustbin of history.
Yes I agree. By the way, are you aware that Stewart told the younger members of "North and South Book II" in 1985 that Lincoln made a huge mistake letting the slaves free? You see, it wasn't just the incidents with Woody Strode and Hal Williams.
That's a new one on me. Dewey's book, or Munn's? 1985 is recent enough for such a blunder on Stewart's part to have got him in a lot of trouble (why DIDN'T it?), and if he made it, he would deserve the backlash resulting from it.
You may be aware that Ernest Borgnine and Tony Curtis made some homophobic remarks about that western "Brokeback Mountain" in 2006, but most people gave them a free pass because of their advanced ages.
It doesn't surprise me re: Borgnine & Curtis, but it isn't so much their advanced age as it is the fact that they are from an earlier generation that predominantly rejected many of the view we either embrace or tolerate today. Even Bob Hope, older than Borgnine by 13 years, suffered some tarnishment which he had to face during his lifetime when he included mocking the gay community in his act while entertaining troops. BTW, I don't think Alzheimer's was on the public consciousness yet in '85.
Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor, and I say this after having heard (repeatedly) that he was a far-right McCarthy-supporter, the polar opposite of myself. Funny how some people claim he was a racist, yet others claim he was the nicest guy in the world. To me, he was the greatest actor, with some old-fashioned ideas. Incidentally, I've read some of your earlier arguments, and (not to sound condescending) you've come a long way from "James Stewart was a racist cunt."
On the other hand, I also don't really think it wise to trust autobiographies 100%. Too much info gets twisted, misremembered etc. Also, and I know I'm playing devil's advocate, but it is possible to make bigoted remarks and not be a bigot. Drawing on my own experience, I once heard a group of people my age saying "you're daddy's a Jew," "that's so gay," and whatnot. I asked them to stop and it turns out, they were decent people who didn't know what was or wasn't appropriate.
Mangina you are the close mind one around here. You are filled with the hate of being closed minded and ignorant. So let's talk about you getting banned from wikopedia. And lets see if you can tell the truth for once.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh yeah? It may interest you to know that Stewart was a far right-wing McCarthyite racist Republican Vietnam hawk who had actor Hal Williams fired from his show just because he was black.
you are a good man obamarules4ever. really, it is good to see someone with such attention to things. keep on your citizen's patrol and being the town crier.
Its very easy to look back now and say these things but people's views were different back then and we appreciate him as an actor. He was never a politician. Also if you were a General in the Air Force you would be very hard pressed not to go to Vietnam. I would love to know who's on your politically acceptable list of actors to admire.
He's dead now, so I don't care what kind of personality he had. I like to think he was sweet and kind, but who knows. I just like to look at him in his earlier films. What a beaut!
African-American actor Woody Strode (Stewart's co-star in Two Rode Together and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) praised Stewart as "one of the nicest men you'll ever meet anywhere in the world".
Don't you understand that things were different when Jimmy was alive? You can't compare him to how things are today because they are two different worlds. Just because he's racist by today's standards doesn't mean he was a bad man.
A legend who deserves this tribute. Thank you Jimmy for the wonderful life that you have shared with all of us throughout the years and years to come.
Lol Harvey aka Obama should tell you who you should vote for. There are racist of every color and creed. The color of a man's skin isn't the problem it's the color of a man's heart and soul.
I'm also 17 and ive been hooked on Jimmys acting for a few years now. First one I saw was Rear Window since im a huge fan of Hitchcock. It's been my favorite movie ever since the first time I watched it. Nice to see other people my age interested in this.

Movies: Casablanca, The Philadelphia Story, It's a Wonderful Life, Arsenic and Old Lace, Notorious, The Maltese Falcon, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Bringing up Baby, Woman of the Year, Key Largo, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, All Through the Night, Angels with Dirty Faces, The Roaring Twenties

Jimmy Stewart had possibly the best resume in actor history. He was in a great variety of films - everything from westerns to slapstick comedies to psychological thrillers to heartwarming dramas, many of them classics. He could make you feel anything - sad, uplifted, scared or laughing, all the while retaining his great charm and persona. He was also a great humanitarian, a military hero, a successful businessman, a patron of the classics, and a good friend to many. A great man, all in all.

sad, henry corbetson, you can't just say shit like that without backing it up, or else you just want to look like a finger-pointing, name-calling, 12-year-old, ingorant little bastard, which i'm willing to believe, far more that i'll ever believe that jimmy stewart was a nazi.

Great tribute to a great man. Jimmy Stewart was a real live hero, demanding that he get on the frontline fighting the Nazis. His acting roles have stood the test of time and I just wish there were more like him today. I can't think of any other actor who has the emotional impact Jimmy did. RIP JImmy, you gave more to the world than you could ever get back.

Mangina seeing you are so all knowing, tell me what is a Nazi? And I won't settle for you usual B.S. non answers. Hey pussy it is time to put up or shut up. So why did wikopedia ban you for life?
jimymax58 3 years ago
What's WRONG with you!? Seriously! Jimmy Stewart wasn't gay, he'd never have hurt a fly. At least some of your other points were arguments... kind of... but that's just a cruel statement, not to mention ridiculous and untrue. Because they lived together, which they did when they went to Hollywood since they were friends, doesn't mean anything. You must be a cruel and mean spirited person clearly and you apparently don't have the heart to like a nice man.

Mangina, as usual your are dead WRONG! You are such a fool to believe anyone would think a 14 year old under educated limey puck knows any thing about history let alone be able to read and comprehend the words on a page! You are a liar and a libilist! By the way hows that mommy of yours doing?
jimymax58 3 years ago
In Manginas world anti semitism is all right if it is one of his nutty buddy friends like sean the wife beater penn or spikey the little weewee lee. Better clean out your own back yard with your hero worship of anti semitic trash before you accuse others with no proof and only very old and long since disproved here say of being what you worship in your heros. By the way little it, how's that mommy of yours doing?
jimymax58 3 years ago
Now now Mangina, you should never say things that are not true. Cause a liar is one of the worst things you can be. Also being a homophobe is not smart either. So why do you hang out with such homophobe friends on youtube? And you do know who I am talking about. By the way, how is that mommy of yours doing?

Being racist doesn't make a person sick or evil. As I've said before nobody watching this video cares what a bunch of liberals with nothing better to do think of James Stewart. Why not go to some forum somewhere and bother others with this crap?

What the devil does that have to do with anything? Why do you feel the need to throw your liberal views all over the place. Nobody here gives a damn what you think James Stewart was. Take your liberal views and throw them onto some blog where all of you spend your lives bitching about how good men might have been racist because nobody here wants to read that.

bringsan90 3 years ago
Donald Dewey's excellent 1996 biography contains a good deal of information. One of Stewart's closest friends, Leonard Gershe, said that he had always been uncomfortable with black people.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
Dewey's sources have their own biases and agendas and your other references are from sensationalistic hacks who can say anything, but ANYTHING about any "Dead White Actor," ala` "Hollywood Babylon," while enjoying the luxury of never having to face a rebuttal by a deceased or aged-to-the-point-of-enfeebled actor. If Stewart was a full-blown racist he would never have donated to an African American church. Every villifying example you've ever cited, Obama/JR/HC, re: Steward is debateable
vinidici 3 years ago
There's been a lot of mutual animosity between you and me but I told you before I'm tired of all that. You are intelligent to know that precious few examples of Stewart's alleged racism exist and that those are the only ones you always seize upon and repeat. But if there's any truth to any of them (and too few to establish a pattern!) then they're weaved into the whole tapestry of Stewart's life which, overall, has endeared him to, rather than alienated him from, the American/world public.
vinidici 3 years ago
*you are intelligent enough. BTW, how do you feel about Tom Hanks? He is the most Stewart-like of any actor today, albeit with personal differences from Stewart, esp. re: politics. Hanks is, IMO and A LOT of people's opinions, one of the best and most beloved actors working today. Many of Hanks's fans like him for the same reasons they liked Stewart.
vinidici 3 years ago
I like Tom Hanks, although he isn't one of my favourite actors. It is notable that Hanks greatly admired Stewart as an actor, even though he must have strongly disagreed with him on every political issue. I would imagine that Stewart would not have approved of films like "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump".
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
Yes, I did carry the whole "Stewart racism" thing too far. FWIW, I believe that Stewart was a racist in the same way that my grandfather (born 1924) is a racist. Both men were products of a bygone era in which white people generally did not mix with black people, and in this country working-class people believed in King George V, the Empire, doctors, teachers, priests etc. It seems that Al Jolson, for example, was not a racist, but I certainly feel uncomfortable watching his act.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
You're demonstrating much more class, Obama, than I'd have been able to acknowledge in the past. Agreed that Jolson's act is entirely out of place in a modern climate of slowly-improving relations between caucasians and persons of color. However, in his day Jolson's act wasn't perceived as maliciously-motivated even by the African American community, who welcomed him into their clubs. All things considered, though, it's a good thing that blackface entertainment is now in the dustbin of history.
vinidici 3 years ago
Yes I agree. By the way, are you aware that Stewart told the younger members of "North and South Book II" in 1985 that Lincoln made a huge mistake letting the slaves free? You see, it wasn't just the incidents with Woody Strode and Hal Williams.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
That's a new one on me. Dewey's book, or Munn's? 1985 is recent enough for such a blunder on Stewart's part to have got him in a lot of trouble (why DIDN'T it?), and if he made it, he would deserve the backlash resulting from it.
vinidici 3 years ago
Maybe they thought he had Alzheimer's, or maybe they didn't care since it was his last acting role.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
You may be aware that Ernest Borgnine and Tony Curtis made some homophobic remarks about that western "Brokeback Mountain" in 2006, but most people gave them a free pass because of their advanced ages.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
It doesn't surprise me re: Borgnine & Curtis, but it isn't so much their advanced age as it is the fact that they are from an earlier generation that predominantly rejected many of the view we either embrace or tolerate today. Even Bob Hope, older than Borgnine by 13 years, suffered some tarnishment which he had to face during his lifetime when he included mocking the gay community in his act while entertaining troops. BTW, I don't think Alzheimer's was on the public consciousness yet in '85.
vinidici 3 years ago
Yeah I think Hope made a few controversial remarks about AIDS as well.
Stewart did apparently have some degree of senility in his last years, which was why he became a complete recluse after his wife died.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
Well, I need to look at the account you mention on what Stewart supposedly said in '85. Where can I find it?

Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor, and I say this after having heard (repeatedly) that he was a far-right McCarthy-supporter, the polar opposite of myself. Funny how some people claim he was a racist, yet others claim he was the nicest guy in the world. To me, he was the greatest actor, with some old-fashioned ideas. Incidentally, I've read some of your earlier arguments, and (not to sound condescending) you've come a long way from "James Stewart was a racist cunt."
JayOleck 3 years ago
Thanks. I'm glad you can be open minded about this and not simply assume he was the same as the characters he played on screen.
ObamaRules4Ever 3 years ago
On the other hand, I also don't really think it wise to trust autobiographies 100%. Too much info gets twisted, misremembered etc. Also, and I know I'm playing devil's advocate, but it is possible to make bigoted remarks and not be a bigot. Drawing on my own experience, I once heard a group of people my age saying "you're daddy's a Jew," "that's so gay," and whatnot. I asked them to stop and it turns out, they were decent people who didn't know what was or wasn't appropriate.

Mangina you are the close mind one around here. You are filled with the hate of being closed minded and ignorant. So let's talk about you getting banned from wikopedia. And lets see if you can tell the truth for once.

Its very easy to look back now and say these things but people's views were different back then and we appreciate him as an actor. He was never a politician. Also if you were a General in the Air Force you would be very hard pressed not to go to Vietnam. I would love to know who's on your politically acceptable list of actors to admire.
