Jimmy Stewart '32 on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, 1982

[@captjim007]

Jimmy Stewart was pure class. We need more like him now more than ever.

[@jimhanold9026]

Exactly!

[@lizpitula2471]

He was a fighter pilot in WWII.

[@captjim007]

@@lizpitula2471 No, hr was a bomber pilot.

[@GodsLonelyMan76]

The whole past was pure class.

[@pilarquiroz3585]

Well...his parents raised him properly. . How are we treating our kids? What examples do they see at home? . If you are a mother or have kids in your entourage, you can start by being a lady and show them how to treat a lady. It all starts at home! . If you are a man, then....you know what to do: follow his example . . It's a lifelong commitment!

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

James Stewart was such a lovable man. His Biography is one of a determined patriot, successful actor, war hero, exemplary husband and father. God bless him as he rests.

[@mtnstrand2819]

Such a beautiful message!

[@michaeldoster4847]

This is my Wing Commander in the Air Force. The 3478th Communications Wing was under his wing as well, being part of SAC. GREATEST THRILL OF MY LIFE WAS at the Release ceremony of 4 1/2 MILLION reservists called up, being released from active duty. When I heard his voice over the pa, I KNEW IMMEDIATELY who my Wing Commander was! Getting to tell the general how much I APPRECIATED all he did in the movies, and in the wing, it was hard fighting back the tears! But I managed a snappy salute. I will take this cherished memory to the grave. God bless you for preserving and posting this vdo! Thank you!

[@lotusbuds2000]

Michael Doster...THANK YOU for this comment!! I am so moved!! You must also be a class act like James Stewart ..a prince. We have lost that level of American man, I'm afraid. But then there is you. - Paula

[@suzanne4504]

Michael thank you for your service ❣️ Thank you for sharing this .

[@allenhughes12]

My grandfather was in his wing. Crew chief/ waist gunner B-24. Shot down on they're 13th mission and captured POW.

[@briane3656]

My Wife and I had the pleasure of seeing Jimmy Stewart on stage in London during the 1970's doing a revival of "Harvey" He was wonderful, as well as the rest of the cast.

[@johnschaefer2238]

Briane when I was 10 my mom took me to see my first play on Broadway and it was Harvey with Jimmy Stewart. What a play to start with and I loved it. Not too long after that she took me to see Thornton Wilder’s Our Town with Henry Fonda. One of the great things of growing up in New York City in the 1960’s.

[@nav1pi983]

What a talent, Jimmy Stewart. His voice and pace of telling a story is perfect.

[@gaylonlavigne3007]

He made every movie he ever made worth seeing many times!

[@Mike-cn3qc]

I attended this reunion (and others) as a guest of my uncle and remember seeing Mr. Stewart walking in this P-rade. Both he and my uncle are long gone but it was enjoyable to watch this and think back on my visits to Princeton with my uncle and his friends. Thanks.

[@marklentine8793]

I was blessed to have corresponded with him 3x during his life. That guy you saw on TV? That WAS Jimmy Stewart. He was as kind and real as could be. I miss him. RIP Mr. Hobbs…❤️

[@scottmiller6495]

Don't forget the movie Harvey 😂 Elwood P. Dowd!!!!!

[@MaricellaIbarra]

2021 Still watching his beautiful work.

[@JohnKorvell]

Jimmy and Henry Fonda were life long best friends. Politically, they were polar opposites. When asked how they could be such good friends with that difference, Jimmy said there were some things they did not talk about.; there were other things in their friendship that was too important. There's a lesson in that.

[@jimhanold9026]

Exactly!

[@whtbobwntsbobget]

Which was which?

[@JohnKorvell]

@@whtbobwntsbobget Jimmy was a Republican and Hank a Democrat. Both rock solid in their political beliefs.

[@neilmccormick2064]

Unfortunately those day's are long gone in the US. Nowadays everyone defines themselves by their political tribalism. The problem in the US is they don't have real news programmes. They have Liberal news channels and Conservative news channels. 30 to 40 years of that has riven the country in two. Our news in the UK is far from perfect,but the anchors here don't give opinion,by and large they report the day's events and let us decide what to make of it ourselves.

[@teller1290]

Except the modern political left are communists and are without character. Can't be, and shouldn't be, friends with such destroyers.

[@scottmiller6495]

If today's new Actors could act like this great man, the world would be a better place, PERIOD!!!!!

[@scottmiller6495]

Jimmy Stewart was one of the greatest Actors of All Time PERIOD!

[@robertszvetics210]

one of the greatest human beings that ever lived

[@93Jubilee]

wow. that's quite a statement!

[@vernieistooold]

Stewart had a very humble way about him but an amazing life. Smart enough to graduate from Princeton with a degree in architecture. Had a commercial pilot license, flew bomber missions in WW2, served with the Stategic Air Command, retired as a brigadier general and later promoted to major general. Of course, one of our favorite and best actors An amazing life indeed.

[@billyrichards8834]

He was an A**hole! He HATED new actor's and actually said "They haven't yet EARNED the right to be in a movie with ME!"

[@vernieistooold]

@@billyrichards8834 LOL. Sure, Stewart have hated by his follow actors. LOL.

[@thomasscoot904]

Rear window with Grace Kelly was one of my favorites of Jimmy's movies.

[@teller1290]

Good one. Liberty Valance! Bandolero fun and underrated.

[@kevinfilbin7647]

Yes but I always yell at the screen if he had a gun that guy wouldn't have....I don't want to spoil the ending but he should have been armed!

There is no such thing as a bad Jimmy Stewart movie. My top picks are Air Force movies. Thanks you for all the wonderful times at the movies.

[@scottmiller6495]

Harvey was a fantastic Picture!!!!!

[@NorsePJ]

A true patriot both in word and in deed. Too many have lots of patriotic words but are pretty quiet on the deed side of things. Action really does speak louder than words!

[@FabioPrato]

What is amazing all these actors from Happy Days will forever be icons. Love them all.

[@Padoinky]

Real deal - walked the talk and never felt the need to publicize/socialize his accomplishments, his trials and tribulations....didn’t seek to leverage his positions or relationships and defaulted to a position of respect, humility and duty to citizens and country.... unlike the false idols of today, IMHO

[@amyowens7050]

Jimmy was an incredible man with so much talent! We just don’t see this in Hollywood these days, actually not for years!! Jimmy is one reason why I love such a love for old films! There will never be another. Elwood P. Doud:” I talk to Harvey, we pass the day away saying delightful things.....”. ~~ Harvey-~~ my favorite!

[@lizpitula2471]

He rose to brigadier general.

[@philsosshep4834]

Jimmy Stewart to me was the all American boy made good and a real hero, reminds me of our David Niven both terrific actors and true patriots who gave up their careers for the good of their country's

[@sherylelkins201]

I totally agree. David Niven is also one of my favorite actors.

[@dougreed9843]

Met him at Andrew's AFB while he was making a commercial for the Air National Guard. Me and my buddy were civil engineer electricians running electricity and lighting for them and he came over shook our hands thanked us. Really nice guy.

[@tommywarren2178]

In the words of violet bicks we're glad we know you George Bailey

Jimmy Stewart would tell the best stories of Hollywood when he was on. Almost never told a derogatory story.

I totally agree we need more like jimmy stuart he was a great actor as well as comedian he madea lot of films like the man who shot liberty valance..

[@queasylagumo-s7j]

[@dirtcop11]

Jimmy Stewart had two roommates in New York, Henry Fionda and Burgess Meridith. All 3 of them were very successful actors.

I wish interviewers would talk more about his experiences acting in his wide variety of roles? Such a great actor.

[@glendagaskin151]

He held above the scandal and corruption. His movies are still worth more every year. I wonder why Hollywood doesn’t get the message.

To you, sir, that is brigader, general Jimmy Stewart.

[@gaymichaelis7581]

I so enjoyed this! Thank you so very much! Of course, I loved or do love Jimmy Stewart! What A great man and actor!!! So enjoyed hearing his stories of going back for his 50th reunion and then his 40th reunion, after his dad called him at 4:30 in the morning, from Pennsylvania! I love it, because I am from Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia… And my mother’s father/my grandfather went to Princeton and my father’s brother/my uncle also went to Princeton! I never had been to Princeton before, so I enjoyed even more perhaps listening to his stories here!

If a picture was made today about actor, James Stewart, only one actor is capable of interpreting the man. His manerisums by nature has always seemed obvious.

His dad refused to see "Anatomy Of A Murder" because they used the word 'panties' in the film. Can't even imagine what the poor old guy would think of movies today!

[@LeatherneckJoe133]

In the 60s I was 18 and I could only drink 3.2 beer.....real garbage....but mr Stewart was my favorite actor no other like him...

[@dabneyoffermein595]

The Story about his Dad is wrong: Jimmy graduated from Princeton in 1932, which means his 40th Princeton reunion would have been in 1972. He said his father wanted him to go to his 40th reunion and almost demanded that he go, which he did. But the problem is, his father passed away in 1961. So you see, that story was incorrect or a lie. Perhaps he just misremembered.

[@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301]

yes "misremembered" the new political term to excuse blatant lies; well, some may but you can't excuse away his blatant racism he'd NEVER amounted to anything today with things not being able to be hidden

[@harpoon_bakery162]
