Brigadier General James Stewart in real life. Amazing man. Amazing life. One of a kind indeed.

Would be so nice to have more people like Jimmy Stewart in this ol world right now. One of the best.

[@adrianodosveras]

LOOK AROUND... there are still some folks from the 1920's and 1930's who are in better shape than he's showing along this video. Now, even the mid-1940's fellows turned 80... soon the X-GENERATION fellows will be on the OLDIES TEAM...

General James Stewart. I salute you sir for your military service, your wonderful acting career, and the fact that you were truly a gentleman in every sense of the word.

Imagine this interview with Fallon? You can't can you. But imagine Carson interviewing George Clooney or Robert de Niro. You can. I've watched a good few clips of Johnny, and he is a master of his craft. Here in the UK we had Terry wogan.

[@Luzanne.]

I read all the memoirs of classic Hollywood stars. Every other MGM star has a story about being overwhelmed running back and forth between sets, needing help, and Jimmy Stewart manifests like an Angel to run lines. He wasn’t even in the movies for which he ran lines - Joan Crawford and Ava Gardner come to mind - just an altogether kind person and true gentleman.

Seeing a late-night host and a guest actually be funny sure does seem like something that could only have occurred a lifetime ago...

[@christian-michaelhansen471]

I’m 54, graduated High School in 1987. I fell in love with acting and comedy because of men like Jimmy Stuart, Tony Curtis, George Burns, and Johnny Carson. Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, Cary Grant, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Phyllis Diller, Elizabeth Taylor and so many, many more that, if you ask someone who graduated High School in ‘97 they have no idea who you are talking about. These people from the “Golden Age” of Hollywood are all but forgotten. Instead we have the Real Housewives of Sheboygan and crap like that! What has become of Hollywood and America as a whole!? Whenever I as someone who is younger than me about any of the aforementioned people, and they give me a puzzled look, I tell them to go back to their school and sue them for providing an incomplete education and picture of the world.
