Jimmy was much more than a great actor - my gosh, he risked his life for this country, flying so many bombing missions - which he didn't HAVE to sign up for. His dignity and class - he was one of the last of a very rare breed!
My dad was in the Gotha mission where they lost 60% of their planes in one mission but hit the target. When they got back, Jimmy was standing there with , I believe, Colonel Turrell, my dad said Jimmy was crying as he asked my dad what happened.
@@gmyatko Great story 👌. I'd love to hear more like that
No
You pathetic clowns. This piece of crap was brave for flying an airplane and dropping bombs onto innocent civilians. You call that brave? Like Iraq invasion? You clowns are nuts.
Honestly didn’t know . He is true great and he never liked compliments. Never wanted a funeral after his death . Love these videos of great people that are no longer here.
My Dad worked with James Stewart many years ago and he told me that Jimmy used to like pulling up an apple box and talking to the crew; a real down to earth individual and a true gentleman. God rest them both.
awesome
As I watched this episode with Johnny and General Stewart, I was thinking how much he reminded me of my neighbor, who is in his mid-eighties and still farms about 900 acres with one of his sons. Jimmy Stewart comes across as a man entirely at home with himself and I felt I could just stand at the fence and talk with him about nearly anything. That kind of person is so hard to find these days, anywhere, let alone Hollywood.
Sounds like your Father raised a Great Son !!!
@@bama1usaf o,,
WAS YOUR FATHER A ROUGHNECK?
Too bad he's one in a million because the world needs a lot more people like Jimmy Stewart.
One in a million is better than none. And it certainly makes a difference for a lot of people.

No we have way too many people like Jimmy Stewart - angry racists. No thanks.
It's a wonderful life.. no pun intended :)
One of the great stories of Stewart's day was his friendship with Henry Fonda. Absolute best friends yet one a conservative and the other a liberal. When asked how with such different values they could get along, Jimmy said "There's some things we just don't talk about. There's so much more we can talk about". We could use that respect these days.
Stewart said they had gotten into some fist fights over politics. So not to ruin their friendship, they just didn't discuss politics.
I heard they got drunk and got into a fistfight...then they decided never to discuss politics again...
Absolutely! I couldn't agree more. Times are so different now, who can say how certain individuals would react politically if they were to see how the country is now. It's really naive and foolish to judge people from a past era solely thru a political lense of today.
my husband’s best friend is a liberal….my husband, a republican, 99% of the time.
Qqqqqqqqq
Jimmy Stewart was one class act. Miss these old school actors big time.
Michael Thompson of course, he's from Pennsylvania.
He was from Indiana Pa. ,just east of Pittsburgh
It was a different world, wasn't it ?
@@davestratton460 Yes it was.
Yes mention his name to a millennial and they say Jimmy who?
The phrase "they don't make them like that anymore" was invented for this lovely guy.
Hollywood is extremely anti-whlTe now.
@@peanutbutterandjellyy it is and that is sad. It should not be anti-any colour.
@@davidgibbs7232 Did you say that when it was 99% white?
@@justplainbrad7713 I don't know what that means. I do know my comment had no racist meaning what's ever. But everything now has to tarred with that brush doesn't it. Bollocks.
@@davidgibbs7232 You jumped a lot of hoops. Are you telling me, you got all of that, out of my simple question? Tell me again how you are not racist? You defended yourself from racism, when no accusation of racism was offered...why? That came from your internal thought process, that has been lying to your conscience for many years, and you nearly got the words to believe your lies, but your subconscious will not cover, and you are not smart enough to explain, so you defended where there wasn't an attack. There is a proven scientific explanation, would you care to know what it means?
Jimmy Stewart is funny without even trying. He says the smallest simplest phrases and has the audience in shreds, gotta love this man!
He was an Army Officer. He knew to kick ass when he chose. Salute to a great actor .
@@tryarunm He retired as a Brigadier General in the USAF And he flew actual combat missions both in WWII and in Viet Nam
@@PutnmaKE Extremely impressive. He also enlisted before Pearl Harbor!
One of the most famous people in American History. Yea sure, John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Lawrence Olivier, Humphrey Bogart all sort of fit into that same category. But James Stewart may have been even more popular to the movie going audience during his peak than any actor ever.
Manners, humility, dignity, generosity, class, patience, commitment. Haven't seen these things lately,,..............
Because he was genuine. And had a big heart. I ❤️ Jimmy Stewart!
Pll
@@johnw8984 mmk
a GOOD man..just like Reagan....and people in general back in them days
It's because he's a christian. He has Jesus in his heart.
Jimmy Stewart seems like an old family friend. What a wonderful person and what a wonderful life!
Jimmy Stewart always seemed to play himself!!! One of the best!!!

Tina Foose Well played, madam, well played.
He grew up near me in Pa....his Dad had a Hardware store
I wrote him a fan letter and he wrote me back!! I treasure it! I told him how much I loved "It's a wonderful life".....He was a vet, was faithful to his wife and family....what a man! RIP, Jimmy! 🙏❤🙏
He died! When? Where? Why? How old was he?
Some people should never die... What an amazing gent.
My favorite actor of all times. Class act. No other actor compares to him. He was a WWII vet. He helped finance Thunderbird field in AZ where my dad was stationed and learned to fly the Stearman PT-17, eventually piloted a B-17, 21 years old. Stewart was a very humble guy, did't talk much about his service to our country. He was a great actor, but a far greater Patriot. God Bless him. He reminds me of my dear dad who was just a few years younger and passed last year at 94.
Sorry about your dad. The greatest gener.
I miss Jimmy terribly. His honesty, integrity, and unflappable humor is unmatched till this day. There was nothing artificial about Jimmy Stewart. I truly miss him.
He and Henry Fonda were a pair of giants of the American cinema and wonderful examples of American values. Each one would have made a great President. Both were head and shoulders above any of these pitiful examples of Presidents since 1980. and that includes Stewart's pal Ronnie.
Agreed.
Ditto
Ronnie was awesome! So is a jimmy
Gosh , I love this guy!
Nobody wonders why we all Love Jimmy Stewart. What's not to love? Poised, relaxed, humble, gracious, funny, A Real Man Of Substance, who could easily have sat out WWII because of his fame, but chose to fly Bombers in Combat....the Full Package
I could listen to him talk for hours....
It would take hours to listen.
I cried like a baby when Jimmy Stewart died. He was the last of the greats!
I saw a documentary on Jimmy Stuart. It mentioned his last bombing mission and how it affected him. He paid a price during his service as did all WWII vets. Showed his picture upon entering service and at discharge. He aged quite a bit hair was thin. His family was shocked at his appearance. It's a wonderful life was his first movie after his service. It said he drew on his war experience to do that anger scheme at his kids in that movie. That was what made it so believable.
I read he was Racist.
No, I believe kirk Douglas was last of the greats dy'in at 103.
I saw a spot Jimmy Stewart did with Johnny where he read a poem he had written about his dog which had recently passed away. It brought Johnny to tears and everybody else as well as he finished by saying that his loyal friend was "no longer there". Today's actors will never compare to icon's like him. Never.
Here it is: kzhead.info/sun/oNuAnqeBm3qHe2g/bejne.html It says 1981.
Never a dry eye when watching this
My absolute favorite!
Lawd, if *I* watch it I will probably probably be useless for the rest of the day....
Richard R I saw that as well. There were tears in eyes of many in the audience, and at home, mine included.
I'm sixteen and I have a ton of respect for this guy, He's a genuine person with some good values that was wasn't afraid to give his life for the country. I love his movies!
Steve weerly who cares if you are sixteen you want to be a special snowflake, just state that you enjoy him and his work that's it.
Hahaha, I don't want to be a special snowflake, where did that come from?
crazymonk3y2423 You're such a hater, lighten up, Stinky!
Crazymonk3y2423 ---> Maybe the reason why he stated his age is because he wanted to tell people that a young kid like him enjoys an old time actor like Jimmy Stewart
@@crazymonk3y2423 You're the snowflake here, getting butt hurt over the way someone else puts their point across.
Brigadier General, named the third-greatest male screen legend of the Golden Age of Hollywood by the American Film Institute, behind Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant and a down to earth legend. They just don't make gentlemen like this anymore. So much respect for this man.
Jimmy Stewart was a Hollywood legend. One of the greatest of all time.
Ho Hollywood has changed. Mr Stewart was so respected and loved.
More than that, he was a National Treasure. Who is supposed to replace him.. Matt Damon??
He sure was
IS not Was !!!
Zac Efron the new Hollywod Icon.
What a perfect example of class. Even came dressed in a suit. Respectful, funny, reverent. How i wish i lived back in his day.
Heather Marie : I grew up with Jimmy Stewart movies from the 1950’s on. Back in the day, there were Hollywood Stars, and they were bigger than life, actors like John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Heston, Stewart, and others, like Gable, Fonda, and George Scott. James Stewart was an American war hero, patriot, husband, father, and nice man. The “stars” of today don’t shine nearly as bright as Stewart!
Heather Marie a real great human
Jim Koenig What you’re saying about John Dall?
@@konedog55 In the '70s I was a latchkey kid and every afternoon when I got home, the afternoon movie (when was the last time you ever heard of that?) was just coming on and featured great films like The Philadelphia Story, Casablanca and It Happened One Night. Every time the studios attempt to remake and update one of these films I get a little sick inside. What made these films great were not the stories--which were terrific themselves--but the great actors. Like James Stewart.
Nicely said
One of the greatest ever. Had the pleasure of attending a graduation where Mr. Stewart gave the commencement speech...a real highlight in my life.
You can see the admiration and respect Johnny Carson has for Jimmy Stewart.
from WWII liberators to B52 over Vietnam, a combat pilot over 3 decades... respect.
Served our country in WWII. Fine gentleman and person.
Not any actors can say that. They are too busy running down this country. Finding what is wrong. Listening to the squad.
And after the war he stayed in the reserves earning the rank of brigadier General.
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850 strong men make good times, Good times make weak men
Flew combat in World War II. Pilot in the reserves. Flew B-52's. Flew a few missions in Vietnam. Lost a son in that war as well. A true American hero...
@@TheJer1963 Yes. And it was NOT honorary. He earned it! And Navy, you should know this one: Glenn Ford stayed in the Naval Reserves after the war and became a Captain.
I sure miss James Stewart, he represented the best of our country!
I had the extreme pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with General James Stewart in the mid 1980's. He was a true gentleman. Of all the Holiwood personalities I worked with during my 26 years as a policeman in LA. General Stewart deserves the greatest respect.
@Clyde Suckfinger *Strange I thought the LA Police had to pass a proficiency and literacy test before being accepted "Holiwood" ? I have been there, stayed at The Ambassadors Hotel in 1986 and went to Jimmy Stewart's house (quite modest) but unfortunately was out. Would have loved to have met him.*
Cool!
Holiwood I see you are a stupid cop.
Mr. Nice you are not living up to your name
GrrMeister zip it
One of the greatest actors and American patriots ever. I have the highest respect for this great man. What can be said ....simply a classic gentleman. I really miss him, I guess we all do.
+Douglas Thompson I Agree and Me Too Jimmy Stewart Was One Of The Best Actors Ever!
Douglas Thompson I always loved him, because he was not just a great actor, but a decent, good man who loved his country enough to lay his life on the line - over and over with every mission. Reagan was like that, too. Not like Obama, who trashed our country here and abroad.
Douglas Thompson The world seems real short of men of this calibre these days. Especially in the entertainment field as for public life...!!
Douglas Thompson he is a america
I love Jimmy Stewart! My favorite actor....such a humble spirit and the work he left us with is timeless and classic!
Jimmy Stewart was one of kind. I always wondered what it would be like to sit and talk with him a bit. A man to be greatly missed by those who don't even know him.
Me too I am 84 y.old & how l miss all the gentlemen actors. William Holden , Gregory Peck ,and Jimmy Stewart etc . Good old days. Carole
Used to sneak down silently and turn the TV down low and watch every time Jonny had Jimmy on. Class act doesn't do him justice. 👏
General Stewart, a true patriot and true gentleman. There is no one is Hollywood that could come close to the class and style this man had.
The only one was Audie Murphy...but he gained stardom after the war. Jimmy Stewart had to jump through hoops just to be accepted as a 33yr old. Becoming a B-26 Liberator bomber pilot...a Captain that survived the minimum missions required...something less than 20$+% of crews survived to reach...but he continued flying being promoted to a full bird Colonel and as you referred to him, he retired as a Brigadier General and it wasn't some honorary rank...he earned it...
Jimmy Stewart was a true Classic. RIP Jimmy.
I have immense respect for this man.
One thing that makes Jimmy Stuart so comical is the fact that he's always so serious!
Or maybe he had a sly why of not taking himself seriously.
Must watch is The Dean Martin Roast... Jimmy it was get.
Who the heck is Jimmy Stuart?
He was a bomber wing commander WWII, B24s. I know a Veteran who was a bombardier under his command, he told us that the wing commander usually didn't fly the missions but Jimmy Stewart flew with them sometimes. I asked how he picked the missions to fly, he told me that he flew the hard ones...when they were unlikely to return. I've never Jimmy Stewart brag about his role in the war, typical of the greatest generation.
He flew 16 to 18 missions. Author Og Mandino flew 6 missions with him. Og flew a total of 30 missions.
Russ Burkett - Most veterans don't talk about the war.
The Cowboy War was different back then compared to now.
during the shooting of the famous movie "Flight Of The Phoenix" our German actor Hardy Krüger asked Stewart about his bombarding German cities during WW II and Stewart told him better not to speak about this issue! rgds from Germany
Real heroes don't brag about their service.
How can anyone give Jimmy a thumbs down? The man is a legend ♡♡♡
They are punks and think the world owes them something. They like Snopp Dog and Louis Farankan. I will give those thumbs down folks a raspberry and an Italian Salute.
Little Mrs Yes Exactly right.
They're all likely vapid troglodytes that subscribe to the likes of Kardashian or Bieber
When people dislike someone like Jimmy Stewart.... they have to be ignorant, hateful and bitter. Jimmy Stewart was the epitome of good and lived a life of service to his nation, his friends and family. He did this without ever bringing embarrassment to his friends or nation. Class act in every way
Dumbocraps would just because he's a conservative white man.
I clicked on this because I'd never seen Jimmy Stewart this old. Then when he said "Talkin' faster," I laughed out loud. That alone made this video worth it. :)
Me too....
caomhan84 I’m old enough to have seen this when it aired. Still makes me lol. One of the best 🥰. Check to see if you can find the Carson interview he did reciting a poem about his dog Blue. You will love it.
Strategic Air Command - one of my favorite movies. But this man was the real deal. As stated in another comment, he WAS a bomber pilot, and a commander in WW2. Flew combat missions as well as led the wing. Ended up as a general in the air force (reserve?). They don't come any better than this!
Mine to. Have it recorded.
Not only a famous actor, but an actor in some of the most famous movies of all time! Two of those movies have been on the ‘Best Movie Ever Made Lists! The first one, ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ and my favorite movie of all time, ‘Vertigo’! An actor who didn’t safely stay in Hollywood, during WW 2 making ‘Buy Bonds’ commercials, but fought in WW 2, not just as a soldier but as a pilot, and recognized as an Air Force Hero! And then... A Brigadier General as well! He was in real life, everything that a normal world class actor would kill to play, and... was also in real life what every world class hero secretly dreamed they could do! Actor, musician, husband, father, an American citizen who didn’t shirk from his duty, soldier, war hero, pilot, officer, and not just a WW 2 heroic officer/pilot, but a Brigadier General to boot!!! He accomplished in one life time, what would have taken 10 famously extraordinary men to do!!! And in the end, his greatest accomplishment... Humility!!! Thanx, Jimmy, RIP...
Jimmy Stewart played an excellent starring role in "The Glen Miller Story", I saw the movie only once, when it was a new release and never forgot just what a good role he played after all these years.
Mr Smith, Philadelphia story. shop around the corner, Harvey, Winchester 73 rear window, vertigo, anatomy of a Murder,
That western Picture with Dean Martin Bannnnnn Do Lero
Very well said!
@@BobbyTucker I've seen it at least a dozen times. Come to think of it, it's about time to watch it -- and "The Spirit of St. Louis" -- again. I would love to find "Strategic Air Command",too.
there will never be men like this again in Hollywood..a real gentleman...honorable...veteran...
+Kathleen Norris yes mam thats when men were men and women were women but they are all gone now its a shame what this world has become
There's some hope from gen Z. Their punk rock seems to be traditional family values
Kathleen Norris another time on Carson he stated his service to the country was so much more important than anything he did in Hollywood!!!
Kathleen there will never be men like this
They cannot make a movie about this man and his life because none of the actors these days understand or appreciate what (Brigadier) General Stewart did for us.
What a wonderful human being - I so miss the old days - boy the world has changed.
FuddyDuddy99 my child will never really understand what the America of my youth was like. I am 54 - he but 11. The entire world has darkened. such a pity
The rest of us aka non-whites don't miss the "good ol days" when you could treat us like animals without consequence. Your good ol days was a nightmare for people of colour.
The Childfree Curly Girl I have NEVER treated anyone with cruelty or judged them differently because their race/religion/sexuality was different from my own. I bet Jimmy Stewart was just like me. My advice is to judge white people by their character - not by the sins of people who are evil by any standard.
Great post.
Then how did the Tuskeegee Airmen come about? And black doctors, scientists, physicists, etc? America has provided more of these opportunities than anyother country!
NOW I understand how good Johnny Carson was. He made the interview about Jimmy but made sure he shone. A real pro.
I never get tired of listening to Jimmy Stewart.
about 1990 my friend Kelly did a "Tour of The Stars Homes" in Hollywood and she told me it was completely boring until the driver said "Jimmy Stewart's house is on the left" and she looked and saw him on a step ladder on his front porch changing the night light...when he was probably about 80 years old!!, (about the same time as this Tonight Show appearance)...the man had some SERIOUS fortitude and an incredible sense of humour!.
I met Jimmy Stewart in London in June 1975 when he was starring in Harvey. He was so kind so autograph my program and bid us a good night and walked by himself to his hotel.
Rick Jones Nice story Rick...I played Doc Sanderson in a high school production of Harvey. Thanks for bringing that back to me....Cheers.
That had to be as cool as could be !
Rick Jones I've heard Brits say he was adored when he was there playing Harvey, and every performance was sold out. Said he was approachable, kind and generous with his time and autographs. Just beloved - like here. Like everywhere.
@@TheAuntieBa That's not even the slightest bit surprising. On stage or on Johnny Carson's show, or nearly anywhere else he was seen, he was courteous, humble, showed no ego or flashy "I'm a star-ishnes!" ( I think that's a good word! ;^) ) My dad told me, in the early 1960's as we were being transferred to a US Army assignment in Germany, never lose sight of the fact that you are always an ambassador for the United States and everyone here will know you're an American at the first glance. Behave accordingly. Jimmy Stewart was one of those people who would always make the rest of us look just a bit better than we really were. A very admirable individual!!
It's like sitting around the living room at a family reunion listening to a beloved grandfather tell stories of his life, with wry, dry humour. Quite enjoyable.
Johnny Carson was so good at just talking to people...he didn't need exaggeration, or to be crude, or to set one part of America against the other. He was just a nice guy to listen to. I have not watched or listened to late night tv since his retirement.
minutes ago I finished watching the film it's a wonderful life, starring Stewart. I almost cried on some scenes. good old days. nowadays everything has changed.
These days White people are told to apologize for being White
the man was class personified. i wish i could say that about anyone nowadays.
All his movies no matter what role he played he was excellent
I adore James Stewart. I blub every year when I watch 'It's a wonderful life'. I have read about his war service, and loved how he motivated his men, taking dangerous missions. As an ordinary Brit, with many American cousins, he is one of the Americans I most admire. John
He was a one of a kind, there well never be another like him. truly missed .
Mr Carson was & is still the best interviewer ever!
Jimmy Stewart was the kind of individual deserving of the Medal of Freedom. A true American original and a national treasure. I never tire of his movies and Johnny was brilliant in this interview.
I wish these old days and people could come back. What a time to be alive.
Went from private to full colonel in the USAF in 4 years. Flew sortie after sortie deep into Nazi Germany. This guy left his cushy Hollywood Acting gig to serve his country. A true hero and a great actor. My favorite film of his is still Harvey. I laughed myself silly. By the end of the movie he had me thinking I could see the dang rabbit.
He's one of the few actors I like everything he has been in. Not a single film I do not like. They are all thoroughly enjoyable, and mainly because of his performance. And with his other achievements, someone to look up to for sure.
Harvey is my all time favorite movie.
@@ChuckstaGaming Have you seen all of his films?
@@markparkinson6947 I couldn't swear for sure, but the likelihood is high, lol
He's got to be my favorite actor. He was way before my time but I knew about him thanks to the ubiquitous broadcast of "It's A Wonderful Life," during the holidays, but also his other must see film "Rear Window." The more I learn about him the more I like him and the more impressed I am with him as an actor and as a human being.
Please watch the Hitchcock film Rope. Absolutely fantastic, based on a true story, and ahead of it's time. Its basically filmed in one continuous shot, as much as film would allow at the time. I think 7 minutes at a time was all they could do. Its absolutely amazing. One would be remiss to ignore The Philadelphia Story. Jimmy at his finest and hands down the best portrayal of someone drunk. Some of the greatest one liners as well
A true gentleman a wonderful actor a true spoken American Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors I appreciate all who faught for our country and GOD bless their souls
I think his name is James?!
Danin Grisham Hedy Lamar said he was a true gentleman. 👱💇 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Some men are simply great. They are few but Jimmy Stewart is the best!! Native Pennsylvanian who is remembered and always will be.
Jimmy Stewart was truly one of the greats. the stars of today can't hold a candle to him. look at Jimmy,s resume and you will find more then a handful of true classics. love you, and thanks for 60 years of class.
I read he was racist
I really enjoy that Stewart spoke the same way even in the 90s, take you back to those old news reels from WWII and the 30s and 40s dialogue.
The greatest advertisement for the craft of acting, not Hollywood, but acting, Hollywood's just a location this man's an icon.
Princeton, Hollywood, Brigadier General....Jimmy has always had every ounce of my respect in every way.
Jimmy Stewart was my Hero 💫✨✨ I remember wishing he could be my Dad. He was and will always be the most incredibly Loving, Caring Sensitive AND Strong Brave Man. I miss you so much Mr. Jimmy Stewart. R.I.P. Sweet Man with your Beautiful Sweet Wife. Thank You for Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸✨✨
Jimmy Stewart has always reminded me of my grandpa from the first film I saw him in as a child (I was born in 1988 so this would be mid-90s). Seeing him in his later years, they even looked similar. This interview touched my heart, not only because he's one of my favourite classic actors but also it makes me feel connected to my grandpa who passed away in 2010.
He was way before my time but I love Jimmy Stewart. His work with Hitchcock was always outstanding, and I greatly admire the longevity of his marriage. Plus, he got married quite late so it still gives me hope for myself lol R.I.P Jimmy
The man was one of the best all time heart felt actors around. Jimmy Stewart could truly act with sincerity and play many different parts. I loved his poems, he would take true to life situations and turn it into a special story that even brought Johnny Carson to tears. He was a very warm and loving human being who put a part of himself in his work. There will never be another like him or could walk in his shoes. He was special and a God send to this world. I loved his movies especially his 1960's classics. Hwe was like a friend comming into your living room at times,bringing a heart felt story. One of the true legends on film and TV.
Agree whole hearted with. all the comments made about Jimmy Stewart, my all time most favorite actor!
The greatest generation indeed.
i am not the laughing out loud type usually but "talking faster" absolutely killed me
chilly22 -Me too. Lol. I about fell over
chilly22 me too. My family all looked at me like I was crazy for cackling at my phone.
I know that feeling, bro
He was great, great stories.
An icon. This is why Johnny was so great. His generation had great men and women. This is why Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert are amateurs and no talent. There is no talent now. These men back in the day fought in wars. Nowadays just a bunch of girlie girlies
Jimmy Stewart was a hoot! I'll always remember him on the Carson show. Honest and true, he was the last of the real Hollywood. An honorable man, a True American, loving husband, and good friend. They don't make them like him anymore.
My grandmother and I would watch every episode when I would spend the night with her. She let me stay up. It was a treat.
I've always admired Jimmy Stewart and the way he Speaks. I believe that He was a Major in The Army, but I'm not sure about that. All I can Say is that I Loved everything about Him. Johnny Carson helped him along the way. Actually, they both were on the best side of these two Funny Gentelmen. I'm glad to have found this today.
I saw Mr. Stewart in the Hollywood Christmas parade in 1992 and let me tell you what a thrill and honor it was for a 21 year old film student. Wonderful memory and incredible actor & human being.
Brig. General Jimmy Stewart never smoked in his life. One of my favourite actors from the golden years of Hollywood. A gentleman of great integrity. Something that is lost in Hollywood today.
I'm English. My parents used to record all the old black and white films at night and we would watch the following evening. I was introduced to Grainger, Bogart, Ed G Stewart, Cagney, Hudson etc, but Jimmy Stewart was always my favourite watch. A truly tremendous gentleman, war hero and unassuming man with great courage and humility. Feeling very nostalgic all of a sudden
I admire this good heart of our late actor Jimmy Stewart. He was deacon of Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church where I became a member. His spirit and sense of class makes him incredibly reputable, remembered and very much so a role model. Best to his family always. Tyler Lord Hamilton
Social Not all of us see this as an endorsement, but as simplified ridicule.
"That was after the first war..." I love listening to this, I feel like I'm listening to my grandpa (long deceased) tell stories.
Mr. Stewart was a class act.
I could listen to Jimmy Stewart for hours on end, he can tell such good stories. Very interesting man.
Jimmy Stewart is one of my all time favorite actors. It is always a pleasure to see him and hear him so nice and candid.
He flew 25 missions as Command Pilot in Europe WW 2. General Stewart stayed reservist post WW 2 & retire a one star. My hero, one of millions who gave us our greatest gift, freedom.
So great that Johnny brought the stories out of Jimmy. I have always loved hearing the old folks stories and asking them questions. It is amazing that we have this footage now.
Yes he was the last of his generation absolutely super actor. He mentioned his daughter being involved in mountain gorilla conservation, i can just imagine James Stewart owning a massive ranch in East Africa and running a wildlife conservation program.
He was what a human being was all about.
Yes he was . In war he was a true hero . In peacetime a gentleman . A quiet man but a giant of a man . A man's man . They really don't make them like that anymore .
machia0705 - He had good traits, and his bad traits, just the same as anyone else. Not to diminish anything that he accomplished in his life, but movie stars are really just like anybody else, in that they have the same fears and worries that we all do. They have to make a living, they have to be able to put food on the table, they have to be able to pay their bills on time, they have to think about getting older and what that means for them, they have to think about their children; if they have any, and think about how they can ensure that their children will have the best future possible after they're gone, and etc. And they're subject to the same kinds of temptations that everyone else faces. The only thing that's really different about them, is the glory that is attached to what they do for a living, and the amount of money that they make in doing it.
I don't personally know anyone that can tell a story like this guy and has had such an interesting life.

Poor Jimmy was almost completely deaf by then, but he was still incredibly awesome! Love this man.
He was on a talk show in the UK in England with Michael Parkinson. He read a poem he'd written about his dog Beau, there was not a dry eye in the house, he's such a lovely man. We watch It's A WONDERFUL LIFE every Christmas, I'm crying from the beginning the start of the movie cos I know what is going to happen.
Jennifer Holden He read it on Carson too
Jimmy stewart was a gem!!!💟💟
Jimmy Stewart was a national treasure. One of my favorite movies is It's a Wonderful Life.
Class act! Genuine to the core!
JimmycStewart is such a legend and I remember him playing on westerns and could watch him every day of the week..sensational..Jimmy has been on so many shows..thank you Jimmy..awesome days of viewing the best that there ever was.
What I love about this is the way Johnnie Carson interacts with him. Prompts him because he is older but does it so respectfully. I remember seeing Peter O'Toole on Jay Leno when Peter was this elderly, and Leno was so condescending and treating the great O'Toole like a little old man.
I saw that and you are lying. Jay treated him with utmost respect.
Jimmy Stewart...as a boy this man was an idol. He was someone I wanted to be like....I miss watching all those movies for the very first time. Sure, you can watch them again, but an old man now, I watch for what "I may have missed." Nothing beats the first time...its a real memory.
i always loved his war quote from Shenandoah 1965.
I miss Jimmy Stewart....God Bless His Soul.
One of the greatest actors & people of all time. Miss him
