My high school govt teacher in 1979 was Jimmy’s stepson, Michael but I didn’t know if their relationship then. He was a really good, engaging teacher but I can see now, looking back, how devastated he was by his brother’s death. I do remember his asking me who my favorite actor was and I said Jimmy Stewart, having no idea he was his stepson! It must’ve sounded like I was trying to ingratiate myself but he was truly my favorite

Thanks for this. Jimmy Stewart will never go out of date.

Thank you for illuminating Jimmy Stewart's life. I had no idea he was such a player, which is disappointing to me, but his unrequited romantic love for Margaret is perhaps what sent him to seek solace in the arms of so many other women. I also did not know about his military service, an experience which can definitely take its toll on anyone. (My father had dark hair when he went to Vietnam; he returned home with gray hair. He was 37.) Someone with Henry Fonda's looks and persona would have been a poor choice for the part of George Bailey. From the first time I saw It's A Wonderful Life, it's my own sort of tradition to watch it every Christmas. I love the idea of someone who thinks so little of himself learning that he is actually treasured and respected by his community. And Clarence of course is a hoot. ♥

Great video. Great narration.

[@Factinate]

Glad you enjoyed it

These aren't stupid people.Jimmy Stewart was clearly intelligent,I get the feeling that there's an awful lot of exaggerating going on here and friendships are made out to be love affairs.

You could see the chemistry between Jimmy and Margaret in their films together. I had heard rumors of a romance between them before Henry Fonda treated Margaret like property. Jane Fonda used to blame her father for her mother's suicide( Henry's second wife)

[@JamesVaughan]

America’s favorite actor of all time. Not John Wayne…but Jimmy Stewart.

[@eottoe2001]

It seems counterintuitive that Stewart was the Geoge Clooney of his time. Makes you wonder.

👏🏽👍🏾

My mother met Jimmy S during the war years. She couldn't stand him, she got the distinct impression he thought he was better than the regular troops.

He known to be extremely racist.

[@catherinejohnson8478]

Really? How do we know?

[@ElaineWood-f2t]

I've never heard anything about Jimmy Stewart being a racist.

[@tombob671]

How about some proof?

[@sandrachestnut6449]

It is well documented how racist he was.​@@catherinejohnson8478
