Who is this versatile actor that was as believable as a bandleader in The Glenn Miller Story as he was as a sheriff in The Far Country or as a silly misfit with an invisible friend in Harvey? His most popular film by far was It's a Wonderful Life.

James "Jimmy" Stewart was one of the good guys. He portrayed sensitive and wise characters whether in westerns, romantic comedies or the Hitchcock films he was so loved for - Rear Window is the favorite by far. His lanky form was as good at being awkward as it was at mounting a horse. His sensitive face was equally at home puzzling out a mystery in The Man Who Knew Too Much or gazing into the eyes of one of his 119 leading ladies. He was the first American movie star to enlist during World War II. He was married to his wife Gloria for 45 years until her death. He won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement and the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille award for his work.
