Jimmy Stewart’s 100th Birthday

by Joi on April 30, 2008

 

One of the coolest, most lovable actors EVER, Jimmy Stewart, was born nearly 100 years ago on May 20, 1908 in Indiana, Pennsylvania.  To honor him, Turner Classic Movies will be showing some of his best movies during the month of May. 

The movies that’ll be shown are:

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)

Anatomy of a Murder (1959)

Harvey (1950)

Rear Window (1954)

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

I guess it’s obvious why my favorite Jimmy Stewart movie isn’t being included.  It just wouldn’t be the same to watch It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) without a Christmas tree and a plate of Chritmas cookies and fudge nearby.

 ** The video at the top of the post is an appearance Jimmy Stewart made on What’s My Line?  One question, though - how could anyone NOT know Jimmy Stewart’s distinctive voice?!?!
